2. you are tired;you have been painting the house all day.
2. No wonder
French people pride themselves on their delicious foods,such as cheese,ba?guettes and croissants(two kinds of food) . In fact,food is an important part of French culture. Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night. It is the opposite of the fast food habit common in other parts of the West.
It's the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald's is opening beneath Paris's most famous museum: the Louvre (卢浮宫) .The new restaurant will be the 1 ,142nd McDonald's in France,and will open in the un?derground approach to the museum. But many French people can't understand why this American chain is opened in the heart of French culture.
However,McDonald's is paying no notice to the complaint. McDonald's now has 31 ,000 chains worldwide. Tourists are hungry,and opening chains in tourist spots pays well.
There is another chain threatening France's heritage. This time it is cof?fee rather than burgers. As more and more Starbucks open in Paris,traditional French cafes are forced to be closed.
The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country's culture. How can a small,independent coffee shop compete with the multibillion dollar chain? You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world,but you can only go to a Parisian cafe in France.
Responsibility is with the tourists. A McDonald's wouldn't open so near the Louvre if it weren't going to make money. Similarly,a Pizza Hut wouldn't overlook (俯瞰) Egypt's Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it. Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall,you should think twice before ordering a Cap?puccino in the Starbucks.

"If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery,a small re?ward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods," a UK study said.
Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young chil?dren to eat their vegetables,the idea was actually controversial,researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "That's because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked," said Jane Wardle,a researcher at University Col?lege London who worked on the study. Verbal praise,such as "Brilliant!You're a great vegetable taster. ” did not work as well.
The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a "tiny taste" of disliked vegetables,it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables— either carrots,celery,cucumber,red peppers,cabbage or sugar snap peas― in laboratory taste tests,the study said.
Researchers randomly assigned (分派) 173 families to one of these groups. In one,parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of disliked vegetables. The second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group,where parents used no special vegetablepro?moting methods,served as a "control".
Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the "target" vegetables every day of 12 days. Soon after,children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables―and were willing to eat more in the re?search lab,going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams af?ter the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last,with pre?schoolers in the sticker group .still willing to eat more of the once disliked veg?etables three months later.
Why didn't the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents' words may have seemed' "insincere" to their children.
