Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated 1. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs,
roast 2 pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried 3 rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could
have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon 4 cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be better," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.
      Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.
      Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?
      Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.
      Only slimming foods served here.
      Make yourself thin again!
      Curiosity 5 drove 6 Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar 7, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed 8 at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!
     At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful 9 as he drove back home. Perhaps
with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:
    Want to feel fit and energetic 10?
    Come and eat here! Discounts today!
    Our food gives you energy all day!
   The competition between the two restaurants was on!
