Man: Sure, Paula. What's up?
Woman: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall. over on the west side of town? Anyway we've been happy with it until the past couple of months.
Man: Yeah. What happened? Woman: Well, the dishwasher broke down. SO we reported it to Ms Connors, the owner, she said she'd take care of it. But a month went by and nothing happened.
Man: Did you get back in touch with her?
Woman: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her, I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check.
Man: So what's the problem?
Woman: She called here mad as a hornet. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now she's threatening to evict us for not paying the full rent.
Man: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.

There wasn't much difference between Brazilian and American McDonald's. The restaurants looked alike. The menu was more or less the same. A white paper bag, with yellow lettering, exactly like the take-out bags used in American McDonald's, carded several messages about how Brazilians could bring McDonald's into their lives. However, it seemed McDonald's Brazilian ad campaign was missing some important points about how fast-food should be marketed in a culture that values large, leisurely lunches.
Brazilians prefer their main meal at midday, often eating at a leisurely pace with business associates. Many firms serve ample lunches to their employees. Other workers take advantages of a two-hour lunch break to go home to eat with the spouse and children. Nor did it make much sense to suggest that children should eat hamburgers for lunch, since most kids attend school for half-day sessions and have lunch at home. The homes of Brazilians who can afford McDonald's products have cooks and maids to do many of the things that fast-food restaurants do in the United States. The suggestion that McDonald's products be eaten "while watching your favorite television program" is culturally appropriate, because Brazilians watch TV a lot. However, Brazil's consuming classes can ask the cook to make a snack when feeling hungry. Indeed much televiewing occurs during the light dinner served when the husband gets home from the office.
Most appropriate to the Brazilian life style. was the suggestion to enjoy McDonald's "on the cook's day off". Throughout Brazil, Sunday is that day. The Sunday pattern for middle-class families is a trip to the beach, liters of beer, a full midday meal around 3 p.m., and a light evening snack. McDonald's has found its niche in the Sunday evening meal, when families flock to the fast food restaurant, and it is to this market that its advertising is now appropriately geared.
Questions:
23.Which group of Brazilians are targeted by McDonald's in Brazil?
24.Which statement is true about the comparison between McDonald's in United States and Brazil?
25.Which of the following is NOT true about Brazilians?
26.According to the talk. what is McDonald's supposed to do next?
(43)

A. Children and teenagers.
B. City-dwellers of middle class.
C. Blue-collars in firms.
D. Brazil's consuming class.
