recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟)which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.Every year,when the time comes for migration(迁徙),a few of them first take off from the lake.But none of the others seem to notice,so the small group returns.However,the next day they try again.This time few more fly along with them,but most of them still pay no attention,so they return again.They try for several times.Every time a few more birds join in but,since the thousands of others still take no notice,the great migration plan is once more stopped.Then one day something changes.The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before,then more.Finally,they all take flight and the migration really begins.What a spectacular

restaurant in San Bernadino,California.They carefully chose a busy corner for their location.They had run their own businesses for years,first a theater,then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant,then another drive-in.But in their new operation,they offered a new,shortened menu:French fries,hamburgers,and sodas.To this small selection they added one new idea:quick service,no waiters or waitresses,and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents.Cheese was another four cents.Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity（一致性）,for the brothers had developed a strict routine（程序）for the preparation of their food,and they insisted on their cooks sticking to their routine.Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular,particularly for lunch.People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime.The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened.They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954,when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines.He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants.The agreement struck included the right to duplicate（复制）the menu,the equipment,even their red and white buildings with the golden arches（拱门）.Today McDonalds is really a household name.In 1976,McDonalds had over$l billion in total sales.Its first twenty-two years in one of the most surprising success stories in modern American business history.58This passage mainly talks about.Athe development of fast food services Bhow McDonalds became a billion-dollar business Cthe business careers of Mac and Dick McDonald DRay Krocs business talent 59Mac and Dick managed all of the following businesses except.Aa drive-in Ba theater Ca cinema Da barbecue restaurant 60We may infer from this passage that.AMac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to Kroc.Bthe place the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-in Cforty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurants DRay Kroc was a good businessman 61The passage suggests that.Acreativity is an important element of business success BRay Kroc was the close partner of the McDonald brothers CMac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to Ray Kroc DCalifornia is the best place to go into business D D F.Scott Fitzgerald,born on September 24,1896,an American novelist,was once a student of St.Paul Academy,the Newman School and attended Princeton.University for a short while.In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama,where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre.Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness,as he wrote in his diary:“My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This side of paradise,his first novel,was published in 1920.Encouraged by its success,Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing.Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned(1922),a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age(1922),and a play The Vegetable(1923).But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby,published in 1925,which quick brought him praise from the literary world.Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security.Then,in 1926,he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However,Fitzgeralds problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing.During the 1920s he trie
