Fu Niu Tang, a recently opened beef noodle restaurant in Beijing, claims to have the spiciest rice noodles and is challenging patrons to finish a bowl of the signature dish in 10 minutes.
Those who can finish the task are awarded with a T-shirt and a card that entitles them to a permanent 10% discount.
So far, about 300 people have taken the spicy noodle challenge, but only 15 have been able to complete the task.

最近在北京開業的一家名為“伏牛堂”的牛肉面館，聲稱擁有最辣米粉，而且舉辦挑戰賽，邀請顧客在10分鐘之內吃完一碗這樣的招牌米粉。
能夠完成這一任務的顧客將被獎勵一件T恤和一張打折卡，永久享受九折優惠。
到目前為止，共有約300人參加了辣米粉挑戰，但是只有15人能在10分鐘內吃完這碗米粉。


【注解】
文中的the spiciest rice noodles就是“最辣米粉”的意思，其中the spiciest是形容詞spicy的最高級形式，spicy的基本意思是“辛辣的；香的”，如：Spicy food doesn't agree with me.（辛辣食物不合我的胃口。）相關的詞匯還有：sweet（甜的）；sour（酸的）；bitter（苦的）；salty（咸的）；greasy（油膩的）；bland（清淡的）等。
文中第一段的patron用作名詞，意為“顧客；資助人”，如：Like so many patrons, he couldn't resist the exclusive English cooking.（和許多顧客一樣，他無法抗拒高檔的英式菜肴。）
