West Nile virus arrived in America in 1999 and made it to California three years later. Since then it is known to have infected 2,300 people in the state, of whom 76 have died. In Orange County this is the worst summer yet. By this point last year officials there had discovered nine birds that had been killed by West Nile virus and not one infected mosquito. So far this year they have found 219 infected birds and 75 infected mosquitoes.
Some of this rise is due to better testing and co-operation with the animal services department, which receives most reports of dying birds. But a much bigger cause is the housing crunch. Fully 63,000 homes were foreclosed in California between April and June, according to DataQuick, a property data services outfit. In the past year the number of Orange County homeowners who have defaulted on their mortgages has more than doubled. Empty houses mean untended pools. Untended pools quickly breed mosquitoes.
Dead birds are also piling up in neighbouring counties like Los Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino, which also have high foreclosure rates. Last week 170 infected mosquitoes were discovered in the state as a whole-the highest tally ever. So far this year i3 human infections have been reported in California, but the numbers are expected to grow rapidly as the summer moves on. John Rusmisel, president-elect of the board responsible for killing the critters, says a peak in infected mosquitoes is generally followed, two or three weeks later, by a peak in human cases.
In theory, owners are supposed to keep their properties in decent shape whether they live there or not. California has even passed a bill fining banks and mortgage companies that seize properties and then allow pools to fester. But Mr Bobbitt isn't waiting for the lawyers. He has treated the pool in Santa Ana with oil and synthetic growth hormones, which will keep the mosquitoes adolescent, preventing breeding. Then he tips in a few dozen mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis), which begin happily launching larvae. You can buy a lot of the fish for what a lawyer charges per hour, and some authorities, with commendable creativity, even provide them free to help control the pests.
According to the text, what is the main reason of quick breed of mosquitoes？
A．House crunch.
B．Inadequate caring of the houses.
C．Warm and humid weather.
D．More reports of dying birds occur in California.
Ray Kroc, a milk shake machine salesman, saw the massive potential of the brothers' business and decided to get involved. He purchased the rights from the brothers, on April 15th, 1955. He became the McDonald brothers' first franchisee when he opened his own McDonald's restaurant in Des Plaines, a suburb just north of Chicago.
The entry of Ray Kroc into the business contributed to the development in the history of McDonald's. He bought the rights to expand the McDonald's concept outside of California and Arizona, and quickly built the restaurant chain and by 1959 over 100 restaurants were in operation.
What is the secret of Ray Kroc？ As a matter of fact, the restaurant was a favor for many of the local teens at first and the menu was primarily barbeque items. Eight years later, the restaurant was closed for several months as it was renovated to become a restaurant that served food and was easy to prepare and served quickly. The food was very limited including Hamburgers, French fries and cold drinks. The employees prided themselves on creating an assembly line type of food preparation and being speedy in getting their food to the customers. The very basic step paved the path to glory. It separated McDonald's from the rest of the competitors and attributes to their great success. The restaurant proved to be an instant success.
By 1984, McDonald's served 17 million customers a day that was equivalent to serving lunch to the entire population of Australia and New Zealand. Today, McDonald's becomes one of the most famous and successful "fast food" chain in America and the world. McDonald's restaurants are now located in 31, 000 locations all over the world, and the company employs more than 1. 5 million people. Just have a look at its development in UK. In September 2004 the UK company-owned restaurants employed 43, 491 people: 40, 699 hourly-paid restaurant employees, 2, 292 restaurant managers, and 500 office staff. McDonald's franchisees employed a further 25, 000 people.

A．It is started by brothers McDonald and Ray Kroc.
B．It is highly welcomed at the beginning.
C．Its barbeque is the most favorable among people.
D．Its prosperousness is mostly due to Ray Kroc.

Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984) at
McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history.But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the
empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination.He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac (1968) and the Egg McMuffin (1973); and helped launch Ronald McDonald --- 'in any language he means fun'; --- on to television in
1963.
Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India (vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace) and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection).McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as 'If you've got time to lean, you've go time to clean.
