symbol.Now,in the Southern California city of Downey,people are trying to save the first McDonalds restaurant in history.McDonalds,though,says the building should be torn down.,Built in 1953,the restaurant in Downey,California,is the oldest of all the Golden,Arches in America,and has the earliest McDonalds building design.,Para.1-2,Chinese,The First McDonalds Restaurant,Text A,Many people have good memories of that old McDonalds.These people are angry that the building is now in danger of being destroyed,along with their memories.,McDonalds explains that the building was damaged in an earthquake,and therefore needs to be torn down.Many people in the town of Downey dont agree with this line of thinking,though.,One woman says,“I think its terrible.They are using the earthquake as an excuse,.,Its a big lie.”,Para.3-5,Chinese,Text A,Another Downey resident remarks,“I am so upset.They dont respect the public at all.They havent even tried.They could do some small repairs and make it a good restaurant again.”,McDonalds managers say the restaurant is losing money at that location.There is no room for a drive-thru window,or for seating inside.After the earthquake,they say it was impossible to fix.The managers want to build a copy of this building at another location instead.,Para.6-7,Chinese,Text A,Building inspectors,on the other hand,say that the structure can be repaired,but that it will be expensive.Many people say that McDonalds can certainly afford to pay that amount.Some think that McDonalds real reason for wanting to close down the restaurant has nothing to do with money.,Para.8,Chinese,Text A,Modern McDonalds restaurants often have a sign claiming that a man named Ray Kroc opened the first McDonalds restaurant in Illinois in 1955.The truth,however,is that Mr.Kroc actually learned the fast food business from Dick and Mac McDonald in Downey.Later,Mr.Kroc bought their restaurants.Thus,many people in Downey think McDonalds is trying to change history,though the company denies this.,Para.9,Chinese,Text A,To local historians,this explanation makes total sense.One historian said,“We should not rewrite the past.Ray Kroc did not invent McDonalds.The McDonald brothers did.”,These days,a group of historians want the building to be added to the National Register of Historic Places so that the city of Downey will be able to stop McDonalds from tearing the building down.The McDonalds managers are very angry,and have abandoned the structure.,Para.10-11,Chinese,Text A,Everyone hopes that the McDonalds managers and the people of Downey will soon find peace.The building is still there,but boards cover the windows.Even so,people drive by to remember their McDonalds,taking pictures of a moment in history before it gets taken away.,Para.12,Chinese,Text A,Meaning:,In spite of the fact that the first McDonalds,restaurant served only two kinds of food:,hamburgers and French fries,it still,became a symbol that represents
