A: Have you ever had food-ordering online experience?
B: Of course. I often use food delivery(递送) apps to order food online, like “
ele.com”, “d
inaping.com”, “
meituan.com”.
A: What do you think of food-ordering online?
B: Well, for better or for
51 , the changes in the way we eat have a huge influence on our society. Few people knew about these apps some years ago, but today many would find it hard to live without them.

52 time.
B: Besides that, these apps offer many people some jobs, and more
53 can be found for restaurants.
A: Not only that, we’re also
54 with all kinds of restaurants to choose from.

55 bringing us good points. However, we must not forget the problem of online food delivery.
A: I agree. For examples, it can be hard to tell where the food actually comes from, and
56 the owner is allowed to run a restaurant.
B: Food safety mentioned is a problem. For another thing, it seems that food delivery man is always in a hurry. You know, if a deliveryman
57 to deliver an order on time his company will fine(罚款) him up to 2000 yuan. These years, there have been a number of traffic accidents because of this.
A: Moreover, the industry is
58 unbelievable amounts of waste. There are over a million tons of online food delivery boxes thrown away every year.
B: But then again, it’s not wise to refuse to take
59 of technology, because we are living in modern society after all. But when you want to order next time, think about whether you really need to.
A: In most cases, you’d better walk over to the supermarket, buy the
60 used to make dishes you need, and then cook them on your own.
B: Haha, that’s right.
