(5)No money, but still hungry? No problem. Welcome to Frank’s restaurant where customers are paying for meals and leaving receipts on a board. Anyone who is hungry and wants something to eat can take one, no questions asked, and hand it to staff for some food.
(6)The idea for the board of free meals started after a donor came in with $100 for each member of its staff. After two staffers returned their share, there was $700 leftover, according to Tarah Morris, the owner of the restaurant. So they decided to do something more by creating the board.
The board of free meals inside the restaurant shows a host of potential meals already paid for by customers, each costing about $10. The board has messages of kindness like, “If you want more kindness in the world, put it here.”
(7)The drive has been going on for two weeks and Morris said just under 50 customers have picked up a free meal. There have been no reports of anyone taking advantage of the situation. In fact, there are a lot more people giving tickets than receiving. It seems people want to help and are driven by helping others.

6. What does the owner of the restaurant say about the idea for the board of free meals?
C)。细节辨认题。新闻中提到据餐厅老板塔拉·莫里斯说,设立免费餐告示板的想法是在一位捐赠者为店里每位员工提供100 美元后开始的,在两名员工退回他们的份额后,还剩下 700美元,所以他们决定通过设立告示板来做更多的事情。由此可知,设立免费餐告示板源于捐献者对其员工的捐赠。因此,答案为C)。
7. What has happened at Frank’s restaurant since the board of free meals was created?
B)。细节推断题。新闻最后提到,免费餐告示板行动已经进行了两周,但是只有不到50名顾客免费用餐。目前还没有发现任何人利用这种情况占便宜。事实上,送收据的人比拿收据的人多得多人们都乐于帮助别人。由此可知,给予的人比索取的人多。因此,答案为B)。
