What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home’? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and other convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range.
Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother. Unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are net fully liberated from that chore.
It’s easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day. Also nowadays, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as a part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one. Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “ fun” break in the daily routine, and the outlay of money seems small. It can be eaten in the car—sometimes picked up at a drive-in window without even getting out—or on the run. Even if it is brought home to eat, there will never be any dirty dishes to wash because of the handy disposable wrappings. Children, especially, love fast food because it’s finger food, no struggling with knives and forks, no annoying instructions from adults about table manners. [br] According to the text, a drive-in window is a ________.
选项
A、car window from which you can see the driver
B、window in the restaurant from which you get your meal in the car
C、place where you check the mechanic condition of your car
D、entrance where you return the used plates after eating
答案
B
解析
推断题。文章第三段倒数第二句提到sometimes picked up at a drive-in window without even getting out,由句中的without even getting out可以推断,drive-in window是免下车窗口,即司机可以不用下车就能拿到食物,所以B正确。
