Under pressure from health and children’s groups, McDonald’s is making changes to its famous Happy Meals.

parents disagreed. “People come to McDonald’s and, first of all, they want the choice and the control to be theirs,

US. ”When we did it without fries, there was a huge disappointment.”
The new French fries in Happy Meals will contain 1.1 ounces (31 grams) of potatoes, down from 2.4 ounces.

depending on the time of year and the region in which they are being served.

D. Answer the following questions.
An old carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer（雇主）of his plans to leave the house building
business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to
retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The
carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship
and used poor building materials.
It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to
see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house,"
he said, "my gift t There were about 15 kids there for audition when we arrivedo you."
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all
so
differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted（不专注的）way, willing to put up less than the best. At
important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created
and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it
differently.
It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to lived with
dignity（尊严）.
The sentence on the wall reads,“Life is a do-it-yourself project.”Who could say it more clearly? Your life today
is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and
choices you make today.
79. The old carpenter lived quite a rich life with his wife and children, didn’t he?
80. Why did the old carpenter want to retire?
81. What did the old carpenter’s employer ask him to do before he retired?
82. How did the carpenter do the job his employer asked him to do?
