Question

  In 1955,a man named Ray Kroc entered into partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They 1       a popular restaurant in Illinois which sold food that was easy to prepare and 2        quickly. Hamburgers,French fries and cold drinks were the 3        food there. Kroc opened similar eating 4        under the same name "McDonald's", and they were an instant (立即的) success. He later took over the company,and today McDonald's is one of the most famous and successful fastfood 5        in the world.

  6       was his idea so successful? Probably,the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s,most married women stayed at home to keep house and 7        their children. In the 1960s,many women 8        to the workplace. This meant that they had 9        time and energy to do the housework and preparation for meals 10        they relied more on TV dinners (冷凍快餐) and fastfood restaurants. Single parents also had little time to 11        in the kitchen. People living alone also 12        this type of food,since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.

  Fast food is one part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend（趨勢,傾向) of the 1960s,13       called the back-to-nature movement,influenced many people to avoid food 14        was packaged or processed. This preference for natural food 15        to today.

  From the success of Ray Kroc's fastfood business,we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.
