Q3： Fast food turns out isn’t quite as fast as it used to be。 A new study finds that MacDonald posted its slowest drives through times since this survey was first conducted fifteen years ago。 As MacDonald’s， customers were spent on average three minutes and nine seconds from the time they placed their orders until they received their food。 That‘s about ten seconds more than the industry average and a lot slower than a decade ago， according to the study， which was commissioned by QSR， an industry trade publication。 And MacDonalds wasn’t alone in slowing down。 Other chains also saw their drive through performance slowing down。 Q4： Among the reasons for the slower service， today there are more choices on the menu， and the products themselves are more complex and take longer to prepare。 Speed， of course， is essential to the drive through experience， and drive throughs are hugely important to chains such as MacDonalds， Burger King， and Tucle Bell。 Usually， the drive through accounts for sixty to seventy percent of all business that goes through a fast food restaurant， notes Sam Ochers， editor of QSR。 Of course， consumers also want their orders prepare correctly and on that score， Ochers says accuracy is still really high。

Q19： Some people say if kids didn‘t happen to go to school， they’d all be out in the streets。 My reply is no。 They wouldn‘t。 First， even as schools stay just what they are， children would spend at least some time there because that’s where they would be likely to find their friends。 Q20： Second， schools wouldn‘t stay the way they are。 They’d get better。 Because we would have to start making them what they ought to be right now。 Last， if we give children a little help， those who did not want to go to school， could find other things to do， since many children now do during their holidays。 Q21： There is something easier we could。 We need to get kids out of the school buildings to give them a chance to learn about the outside world at first hand。 In Philadelphia and Oregon， plans are being drawn up for public schools that won‘t have any school buildings at all。 That will take the students out into the city and help them to use it and its people as a resource。 In others words， students， perhaps in groups， perhaps independently， will go to libraries， museums， exhibitions， radios， and TV stations， meetings， businesses and laboratories to learn about their world and society at first hand。 A small private school in Washington is all ready doing this。 It makes sense， and we need more of it。

So， do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better， calmer， healthier。 Andrea Hillier， a dance teacher says， “Dance， like the pattern of a beating heart， is life。 Even after all these years， I want to get better and better。 I keep practicing even when I‘m exhausted。 Q25： I find it hard to stop！ Dancing reminds me I’m alive。”
