17、 the Dalehouse restaurant chain, yesterday announced plans to open a further 20 restaurants and create 600 new jobs in the next four years. The group hopes to open 4 of the new restaurants by the end of this year, creating up to 120 jobs. The programme will result in a chain of over 100 Dalehouse re

18、staurants in towns and cities all over the United Kingdom by the end of the four-year period. The company also has a limited programme of expansion in other countries. There are plans for the company to open its third restaurant abroad towards the middle of next year as planning permission was recen

We opened 4 restaurants last year so an expansion programme of 5 this year and 6 next would not be outside the normal rate of growth. We hav

24、e had hardly any problems financing our expansion in the past and expect this to continue in the future. 23 After four years there will be （ A） a total of 600 people employed by Dalehouse restaurants. （ B） a Dalehouse restaurant in over 120 UK towns and cities. （ C） 20 more Dalehouse restaurants tha
