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 ready for a wave of tobacco-style charges 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 diseases. They blamed their problems on the fatty hamburgers and chips they’d regularly eaten at McDonald’s restaurants in New York.
1 Why did McDonald’s win the charge?
2 What was the reason for the consumer to charge McDonald’s?
选项 A、Because those children could not prove they regularly ate there.
B、Because most of those children are healthy.
C、Because consumers knew the dangers of McDonald’s products.
D、Because some children are not really overweight.
答案 C
解析 新闻在开始公布了一项法院裁定的结果，即麦当劳不必对在麦当劳进食的超重儿童的健康问题负责。随后说明原因：法官说，儿童方面的代表律师无法证明麦当劳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坏处，所以责任也不应该由快餐企业来承担，C项符合新闻报道的内容。
