[00:04.28]Reading COME AND EAT HEAR(1)
[00:09.12]Wang Pengwei sat in his empty restaurant feelling very frustrated1.
[00:15.05]It had been a very strange morning.
[00:17.92]Usually he got up early prepared his menu of mutton kebabs,
[00:23.28]roast pork and fried2 rice.
[00:26.44]Then by lunchtime they would all be sold.
[00:29.99]His restaurant ought to be full of people.
[00:33.75]But not today!Why was it so?What could have happened?
[00:39.52]He thought of his mutton kebabs and fatty pork cooked in the hottest,finest oil.
[00:46.05]His fried rice was hot but did not taste of fat.
[00:51.20]His cola was sugary and cold and his ice cream was made of eggs,
[00:57.26]milk,cream and fruit.
[00:59.90]"Nothing could have been better,"he thought.
[01:02.93]Suddenly he saw his friend Li Maochange hurrying by.
[01:07.89]"Hello,Maochange,"he called,"Your usual?"
[01:11.89]But Maochang seemed not to hear.
[01:14.81]What was the matter?Something terrible must have happened
[01:19.39]if Maochang was not coming to eat with him as he always did.
[01:24.35]Pengwei followed Li Maochang
[01:27.22]into a newly-opened small restaurant at the end of the street.
[01:31.59]There was a sign in the window.
[01:34.15]Tired of all that fat?Want to be thinner?
[01:38.59]Come inside to Yong Hui's slimming restaurant.
[01:42.84]Only slimming foods served here.
[01:46.29]Make yourself him thin again!Curiosity3 drove4 Wang Pengwei inside.
[01:53.27]It was full of people.A very thin lady came forward.
[01:58.23]"Welcome!"she said,"My name is Yong Hui.
[02:03.59]I will take all that fat off you in two weeks if you eat here every day."
[02:10.35]Then she gave a menu to Wang Pengwei.
[02:14.01]There are only two kinds of food and one drink on it:
[02:18.45]raw vegetables,fruit and water.
[02:22.32]Wang Pengwei was amazed5 at this and especially at the prices.
[02:27.57]It cost more than a good meal in his own restaurant.
[02:32.32]He could not believe his eyes!He threw away the menu and hurried outside.
[02:37.88]On his way home he thought about his won menu.
[02:41.93]Did it make people fat?He wondered if he should go to the library to find out.
[02:48.18]He couldn't have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies!
[02:52.72]He had better do some research!
[02:55.18]After reading,he realised what was wrong with Yong Hui's restaurant.
[03:00.95]It was not giving its customers energy-giving food!
[03:05.31]After eating in her restaurant people would become tired very quickly.
[03:10.07]Perhaps this was a way to win his customers back!
[03:13.59]Pengwei wrote his own sign.It said:Want to feel fit?
[03:18.84]Come and eat here!Our food gives you energy all day!
[03:23.52]The competition between the two restaurants was on!
[03:27.88]Using Language Listening
[03:39.74]Listen to the tape and then fill in the charts.
[05:47.22]Reading COME AND EAT HEAR(2)
[05:57.07]The next day Wang Pengwei's restaurant was nearly full and he felt happier.
[06:03.23]Perhaps he would be able to earn his living after all
[06:07.60]and not have to close his restaurant.
[06:10.34]He did not look forward to being in debt6
[06:13.50]because his restaurant was no longer popular.
[06:16.95]He smiled.But the smile left his face when he saw Yong Hui walking in.
[06:24.10]She did not look happy but glared7 at him as she moved round the customers.
[06:30.16]"May I ask what you were doing in my restaurant yesterday?
[06:35.02]I thought you were a new customer
[06:38.39]and now I find you came only to spy8 on me and my menu,"she shouted.
[06:45.55]"Please excuse me,"he calmly explained,
[06:49.08]"I wanted to know where all my customers had gone yesterday.
[06:53.31]I followed one of them and found them in your restaurant.
[06:57.07]I don't want to upset you,but I found your menu so limited
[07:02.22]that I stopped worrying and started advertising9 the benefits10 of my food.
[07:07.78]Why don't you sit down and try a meal?"
[07:10.55]Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying the dumplings,
[07:16.11]fatty pork and cola
[07:18.47]When they were served the ice cream Yong Hui began to look ill.
[07:23.01]"I feel sick with all this fat and heavy food,"she said,
[07:29.18]"I miss my vegetables and fruit."
[07:32.41]Wang Pengwei was just enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed.
[07:37.09]"Yes,"he added,"and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork.
[07:42.45]But don't you get tired quickly?""Well,now you mention it.
[07:48.09]I do have to rest a lot,"admitted Yong Hui.
[07:52.53]"But don't you think it would be better if you were a bit thinner?"
[07:57.10]she asked Wang Pengwei."I'm sure you would feel much healthier."
[08:02.25]They began chatting about menus and balanced diets.
[08:06.37]"My research has shown me
[08:09.25]that neither your restaurant nor mine offers a balanced diet,explained Pengwei,
[08:14.99]"I don't offer enough fibre11
[08:17.55]and you don't offer enough body-building or energy-giving foods.
[08:22.60]Perhaps we ought to combine our menus
[08:26.44]and provide a balanced menu with foods full of energy and fibre."
[08:32.21]So that is what they did.
[08:34.35]They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers
[08:38.71]and boiled the potatoes rather than fried them.
[08:42.24]Then they served fresh fruit with ice cream.
[08:45.77]In this way they cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal.
[08:50.83]Their balanced menus became such a success
[08:54.78]that before long Wang Pengwei became slimmer and Yong Hui heavier.
[09:00.13]After some time the two found that their business cooperation
[09:04.81]had turned into a personal one.
[09:07.76]Finally they got married and lived happily ever after!
