{{B}}Passage One{{/B}}
Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of fooD、Unfortunately, many people in the US take a few too many bites. Instead of saying "clean the plate," perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies (肚子).A、waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA、Today story.
Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They serve large portions to stand apart from competitors and to give the customers value. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.

Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too.A、restaurant industry trade magazine reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4 000 people surveyed believed restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreeD、

C、serve two to four times the amount the customers want
D．are partly to blame for the waste of food inAmerica

[解析] 首先从题目中定位本题的出处。由于英文的上下关联性，考生要在第二段和第三段中查找答案，第二段中提到，不幸的是，许多美国人总是多吃几口。我们应该为未来省几口食物。第三段中提到，因为美国餐厅总是给顾客超过政府规定食量的两到四倍，所以间接造成了美国人的肥胖。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
