问题 Why did McDonald not need to be responsible for the health problem of overweight children?
A court in the United States has ruled that the hamburger chain McDonald’s was not responsible for the health problem of overweight children who eat at its restaurants. The judge said lawyers acting for the children had failed to show that McDonald’s products presented a danger unknown to consumers. This is the first case of its kind to go through the American courts. The outcome is a victory for the fast food industry, which is braced for a wave of tobacco-style litigation over the health consequences of poor diet. The action was mounted on behalf of a group of overweight children suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and other diet-related ailments. They blamed their problems on the fat laden hamburgers and chips they’d regularly eaten at McDonald’s restaurants in New York.

选项 A、Because those children could not prove they regularly ate there.
B、Because most of those children are healthy.
C、Because the court believed that consumers’ knew the dangers of McDonald’s products.
D、Because some children are not really overweighed.

答案 C

解析 细节推理题。新闻在开始公布了一项法院裁定的结果,即汉堡包连锁店麦当劳不必对在其餐厅进食的超重儿童的健康问题负责。其原因紧接在这一句的后面“法官说,儿童方面的代表律师无法证明麦当劳的产品对消费者是一种未知的危险”。也就是说法官认为消费者应该知道快餐食品的利弊,于是责任也不应该由快餐企业来承担,选项C最接近这样的意思。
