White Castle opened its doors in 1921, and the franchise set out to make a better name for the hamburger in a time when the ground meat patty had a bad name in popular culture. Ahead of its time, White Castle also allowed people to see their food being made, a first at the time. Franchising was introduced the same year when A&W Root Beer franchised its popular syrup. Combining these factors with Howard Johnson franchising its first restaurant in the 1930s, the stage was set for the takeoff of the industry. McDonald's opened its doors in 1948, instilling the first assembly-line-style restaurant, and from there, the fast food industry grew steadily for decades.Burger King and Taco Bell opened their doors in the 1950s, and Wendy's followed in 1969. Drive-through windows took off at fast food chains with the advent of speaker systems in the 1950s. By 2005, the fast food industry had sales totalling over $163.5 billion worldwide. McDonald's, as of 2014, has over 30, 000 franchised restaurants in 120 countries.With its success, the fast food industry has come under much scrutiny for selling unhealthy foods, marketing extensively and aggressively to children, and undermining local cultures and values in different parts of the world.

The long-expected decline in the dollar is now well under way. For years economists have predicted that America's huge current-account deficit would eventually cause its currency to plunge. So far the dollar's slide has been fairly gradual: it is down by 13% in trade-weighted terms over the past year, though it has dropped by almost twice as much against the euro since its 2001 peak. As the decline seemed to pick up speed this week, John Snow, George Bush's Treasury Secretary, declared that he favours a 'strong dollar policy'. That was surely the wrong answer, even leaving aside the debatable issue of whether cabinet secretaries can influence the level of exchange tales. A weaker, not a stronger dollar, is what the world needs now - so long as policymakers elsewhere respond appropriately. America promoted a strong dollar throughout the 1990s, when inflation was still thought to be the main enemy. Today it makes less sense. Even after its recent slide, the dollar seems overvalued. Moreover, with ample space capacity in America, deflation looks a bigger risk than inflation.
According to the passage, what has brought about the fall of the American dollar —.
A) is the erratic global fluctuations in exchange rates
B) is the enormous deficit experienced by the American economy
C) has been a persistent recession in the global economy
D) is the wrong economic policies introduced by John Snow, Treasury Secretary
E) is the unexpected rise in the value of the euro

The Renaissance originated in Italy for several
reasons. The most fundamental reason was that Italy
in the later Middle Ages was the most advanced
urban society in all of Europe. Unlike aristocrats north
of the Alps, Italian aristocrats customarily lived in
urban centres rather than in rural castles and
consequently became fully involved in urban public
affairs. Moreover, since the Italian aristocracy built its
palaces in the cities, the aristocratic class was less
sharply set off from the class of rich merchants than
in other European countries. Hence, whereas in
France or Germany most aristocrats lived on the
income from their lands while rich town dwellers,
called bourgeois in French, gained their living from
trade, in Italy so many town-dwelling aristocrats
engaged in banking or mercantile enterprises, and so
many rich mercantile families imitated the manners of
the aristocracy that, by the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie
were becoming virtually indistinguishable. For
instance, the noted Florentine family of the Medici,
which had emerged as a family of physicians (as the
name suggests), made its fortune in banking and
commerce, and rose into the aristocracy in the
fifteenth century. Obviously, social mobility as such
brought about a great demand for education in the
skills of reading and counting necessary to become a successful merchant, but the richest and most
prominent families sought above all to find teachers
who would impart to their sons the knowledge and
skills necessary in politics and public life.
According to the passage, it was in Italy that ----.
A) what the French called bourgeois had the
monopoly on banking
B) merchants and aristocrats were clearly set apart
C) banking developed much faster than trade
D) most aristocrats wanted their sons to learn only
the skills associated with politics
E) the rise of the Renaissance first took place

Genetically modified foods are any types of foods whose genes have been modified by scientists. Most often, crops such as corn, wheat and beans are genetically modified to resist pests and disease.

The United States produces the highest amount of genetically modified crops in the world, and it has been estimated that approximately 60 to 70 percent of the foods that Americans eat contain at least one genetically modified ingredient. The United States government claims that genetically modified foods are safe. However, many other countries, including the entire European Union, have banned genetically modified foods due to safety concerns.
