根据录音，回答下列题 
Looking at the basic biological systems, the world is not doing very well．Yet economic indicators show the world is 26 Despite a slow start at the beginning of the eighties, global economic output increased by more than a fifth during the 27 The economy grew, trade increased, and millions of new jobs were created．How can biological indicators show the 28 of economic indicators? 
The answer is that the economic indicators have a basic fault: they show no difference between resource uses that 29 progress and those uses that will hurt it．The main measure of economic progress is the gross national product (GNP)． 30 , this totals the value of all goods and services produced and subtracts loss in value of factories and equipment．Developed a half-century ago, GNP helped 31 a common way among countries of measuring change in economic output．For some time, this seemed to work 32 well, but serious weaknesses are now appearing．As indicated earlier, GNP includes loss in value of factories and equipment, but it does not 33 the loss of natural resources, including nonrenewable resources such as oil or renewable resources such as forests． 
This basic fault can produce a 34 sense of national economic health．According to GNP, for example, countries that overcut forests actually do better than those that preserve their forests．The trees cut down are counted as income but no subtraction is made for 35 the forests．

The Changes Facing Fast Food 
A．Fast-food firms have to be a thick-skinned bunch．Health experts regularly criticise them severelyfor selling food that makes people fat．Critics even complain that McDonald's, whose logosymbolises calorie excess, should not have been allowed to sponsor the World Cup．These arethings fast-food firms have learnt to cope with．But not perhaps for much longer．The burgerbusiness faces more pressure from regulators at a time when it is already adapting strategies inresponse to shifts in the global economy． 
B)Fast food was once thought to be recession-proof．When consumers need to cut spending, the logicgoes, cheap meals like Big Macs and Whoppers become even more attractive．Such "trading down"proved true for much of the latest recession, when fast-food companies picked up customers who could no longer afford to eat at casual restaurants．Traffic was boosted in America, the home of fast food, with discounts and promotions, such as $1 menus and cheap combination meals． 
C)As a result, fast-food chains have weathered the recession better than their more expensive competitors．In 2009 sales at full-service restaurants in America fell by more than 6% , but total sales remained about the same at fast-food chains．In some markets, such as Japan, France and Britain, total spending on fast food increased．Same-store sales in America at McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food company, did not decline throughout the downturn．Panera Bread, an American fast-food chain known for its fresh ingredients, performed well, too, because it offers higher-quality food at lower prices than restaurants． 
D)But not all fast-food companies have been as fortunate．Many, such as Burger King, have seen sales fall．In a severe recession, while some people trade down to fast food, many others eat at home more frequently to save money．David Palmer, an analyst at UBS, a bank, says smaller fast- food chains in America, such as Jack in the Box and Carl's Jr．, have been hit particularly hard in this downturn because they are competing with the global giant McDonald's, which increased spending on advertising by more than 7% last year as others cut back． 
E．Some fast-food companies also sacrificed their own profits by trying to give customers better value．During the recession companies set prices low, hoping that once they had tempted customers through the door they would be persuaded to order more expensive items．But in many cases that strategy did not work．Last year Burger King franchisees (特许经营人)sued (起诉)the company over its double-cheeseburger promotion, claiming it was unfair for them to be repuired to sell these for $1 when they cost$1．10 to make．In May a judge ruled in favour of Burger King．Nevertheless, the company may still be cursing its decision to promote cheap choices over more expensive ones because items on its "value menu" now account for around 20% of all sales, upfrom 12% last October． 
F．Analysts expect the fast-food industry to grow modestly this year．But the downturn is makingcompanies rethink their strategies．Many are now introducing higher-priced items to entice (引诱)consumers away from $1 specials．KFC, a division of Yum! Brands, which also owns Taco Belland Pizza Hut, has launched a chicken sandwich that costs around $5．And in May Burger Kingintroduced barbecue (烧烤)pork ribs at $7 for eight． 
G．Companies are also trying to get customers to buy new and more items, including drinks．McDonald's started selling better coffee as a challenge to Starbucks．Its " McCafe" line nowaccounts for an estimated 6% of sales in America．Starbucks has sold rights to its Seattle's Bestcoffee brand to Burger King, which will start selling it later this year． 
H．As fast-food companies shift from "super size" to "more buys", they need to keep customer traffichigh throughout the day．Many see breakfast as a big opporttmity, and not just for fatty food．McDonald's will start selling porridge (粥)in America next year．Breakfast has the potential to bevery profitable, says Sara Senatore of Bernstein, a research firm, because the margins can be high．Fast-food companies are also adding midday and late-night snacks, such as blended drinks andwraps．The idea is that by having a greater range of things on the menu, "we can sell to consumersproducts they want all day," says Rick Carucci, the chief financial officer of Yum Brands． 
I．But what about those growing waistlines? So far, fast-food firms have cleverly avoided governmentregulation．By providing healthy options, like salads and low-calorie sandwiches, they have at leastgiven the impression of doing something about helping to fight obesity (肥胖症)．These offeringsare not necessarily loss-leaders, as they broaden the appeal of outlets to groups of diners thatinclude some people who don't want to eat a burger．But customers cannot be forced to ordersalads instead of fries． 
J．In the future, simply offering a healthy option may not be good enough．"Every packaged-food and restaurant company I know is concerned about regulation right now," says Mr．Palmer of UBS．America's health-reform bill, which Congress passed this year, requires restaurant chains with 20 ormore outlets to put the calorie-content of items they serve on the menu．A study by the NationalBureau of Economic Research, which tracked the effects on Starbucks of a similar calorie-postinglaw in New York City in 2007, found that the average calorie-count per transaction fell 6% andrevenue increased 3% at Starbucks stores where a Dunldn Donuts outlet was nearby--a sign, it issaid, that menu-labelling could favour chains that have more healthy offerings． 
K．In order to avoid other legislation in America and elsewhere, fast-food companies will have tocontinue innovating (创新)．Walt Riker of McDonald's claims the change it has made in its menumeans it offers more healthy items than it did a few years ago．"We probably sell more vegetables,more milk, more salads, more apples than any restaurant business in the world," he says．But therecent proposal by a county in California to ban McDonald's from including toys in its high-calorie"Happy Meals", because legislators believe it attracts children to unhealthy food, suggests there isa lot more left to do． 

Some people propose laws be made to stop McDonald's from attaching toys to its food specials for children． 

Fast-food finns may not be able to cope with pressures from food regulation in the near future． 

Burger King will start to sell Seattle's Best coffee to increase sales． 

Some fast-food firms provide healthy food to give the impression they are helping to tackle the obesity problem． 

During the recession, many customers turned to fast food to save money． 

Many people eat out less often to save money in times of recession． 

During the recession, Burger King's promotional strategy of offering low-priced items often proved ineffective． 

Fast-food restaurants can make a lot of money by selling breakfast． 

Many fast-food companies now expect to increase their revenue by introducing higher-priced items． 

A newly-passed law asks big fast-food chains to specify the calorie count of what they serve on the menu．
