Greasy spoon cafés or simply greasy spoons very rarely appear in guidebooks,but they are an essential part of life in the UK,especially for people living in the bigger cities.These small restaurants are so common — like baked beans or phone boxes — that they are barely even noticed,but if greasy spoons were removed,the country would be on its knees.
   Greasy spoon cafés are so called because any cutlery (餐具) that comes into contact with the food on offer is immediately coated with a sticky layer of oil.It almost seems like an oily mist hangs in the air,as if fat drips (滴下) from the walls.More calories can be found in a cup of tea in a good greasy spoon than in a whole meal at a normal restaurant.
   Greasy spoons are generally found slightly away from the main streets of most towns.They usually have large (grease coated) glass windows,a plastic sign with the café name and a huge menu offering a wide variety of foods.Inside they are generally clean and functional.You'll see old wooden seats,tables and plain walls.Each table has on it a bottle of brown sauce,tomato ketchup and vinegar,and pots of salt and pepper.
   In a typical greasy spoon,you will find people from all walks of life:poets,hurrying businessmen,students lazing around with huge cups of tea.Some read novels,some stare into space,and others catch up on the day's news.At weekends there will always be large groups of friends,recovering from a night on the town.They are all united by one thing:the food.They are all looking for an absolutely substantial meal.
   The meals are dangerously unhealthy,and absolutely delicious.All kinds of food can be bought for incredibly low prices.Greasy spoons have some devoted followers.Tapping "Greasy Spoon" into an internet search engine will bring up hundreds of entries — with pictures,reviews,menus and stories.But of course,nothing can beat going to a real one — especially on an empty stomach.

  • 菁優(yōu)網(wǎng)1.Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
       Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers,for food,for sport,and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

       Luckily,some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
