In 1954, an American called Ray Kroc was selling milk machines. Most restaurants bought one or two of these machines, but one restaurant ordered eight of them. Kroc was surprised at this big order. He decided to visit the restaurant.
It was a small hamburger stand(汉保包销售点). A group of young people in clean, white uniforms (制服)were at work. They were happy, fast and polite. People kept on coming to buy food. Kroc thought this was a very successful business.He looked up at the name over the door. It read, "McDonald’s Hamburgers".
Kroc found out that two brothers owned the business. They were called Mac and Dick McDonald. He suggested that they should set up more restaurants, but the brothers were happy with their life, and they themselves did not want to. However, they let Kroc set up other restaurants for them. That was the start of the biggest fast food company. In 1955, Kroc opened his first McDonald’s near Chicago. Four years later, the 100th McDonald’s was opened. In 1961 Kroc bought all rights(权利)to McDonald’s from Mac and Dick. By 1972, a new McDonald’s was opened every day. By 1974, there were over 3,000 McDonald’s around the world.

How to start your life in the USA It’s very important to learn to use English well. But very often it isn’t easy to find someone to talk to in a big city. However, here are some suggestions.
·If you want to use English in the street, first, get or borrow a dog ! Walk him several times a day! Americans love pets(宠物) and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog.
Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People sitting at the same table with you will sometimes talk to you if they see that you are a foreigner.
Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man if you are a woman ! This often works very well though I don’t know why.
Learn to say "Please," "Thank you" and "You’re welcome" before you come to the
USA and use them all the time! Always say "Fine" in answer to the question "How are you".
·Also, when someone says they will meet you at six o’clock, be sure to be there by six.
Americans think highly of time and expect everyone to be "on time. "
All in all, don’t worry! Just bring a lot of money and do as I told you. I’m sure you will have a very good start and enjoy your fife here.
