Tired of eating at the same boring restaurants? Looking for a change? Here are some restaurants that offer an

original restaurant experience. See for yourself which ones you like.

An Exciting Dinner

Looking for something adventurous? The Archipelago in London is just the thing for you. One of the most

popular dishes in this restaurant is crocodile (鳄鱼). Yes, you read it correctly, crocodile. If that is not daring

enough for you, there are plenty of other dishes on the menu.

A Restaurant with a View

Want to enjoy the sights while you’re eating? Try the Top of the World restaurant. At about 244 meters above

Las Vegas, diners can enjoy a good view of Las Vegas in this revolving (旋转的) restaurant. However, the real

adventure starts at the end of the meal. That’s when their seats at ground level are lifted to the high-level

observation room at a surpsing speed.

A Theatrical Experience

Longing for dinner with some drama? Have dinner with mimes (哑剧) at Mime in Manchester. The service is

unique. Your waiter will communicate your order in mime and keep you happy with performances in between

courses.

An Unusual Setting

Don’t care about presentation? You’ll be fine at the Modem Toilet restaurant in Taiwan. The theme of this

restaurant is the toilet, and you would be surprised how many people line up for the experience of eating on toilet

seats.

1. What would you expect at the Top of the World restaurant?

A. An exciting lift. B. An interesting menu.

C. A show during the meal. D. A bird’s-eye view of London.

2. Which restaurant requires customers to order in an unusual way?

Archipelago B. Top of the World. C. Mime. D. Modern Toilet.

3. Where is the passage likely to be taken from?

A. A research paper. B. An entertainment magazine.

C. A thrilling novel. D. A fashion magazine.

This July my husband and I decided to move both our kids,aged 14 and 10, from their previous schools to a

new international school that’s located in our neighborhood. It wasn’t an easy decision. We knew switching schools

would be a challenge for our kids.

Put two kids in the same situation and they react arid feel differently. Nina, outgoing and talkative, has no

problem making new friends and adapting to the new school. It took her less than a week to say, “This school is

great. I like it.” Everywhere she goes, she’s surrounded by friends. It took Michael months to say, “I guess this is

fine.” Before that, he complained about everything. He’s sensitive(敏感的) and quite hard on himself. Words of

encouragement need to be told on a daily basis.

To make our children comfortable before, during and after the move, we included them in our plan from the

beginning. They’re big enough to take part in decision-making activities. We researched, compared, and asked

questions. We listed everything about their old schools and the new one, and we discussed every item. We were

open with them from the start. Our kids knew what was going on and what was about to happen. They had time to

prepare themselves. They trusted us.

Communicating with their new teachers was also important. For the first three months, we kept an eye on our

children’s academic(学业的) performance and their social life. If we discovered a drop in their grades or any

unusual behavior, we were quick to arrange appointments with their teachers. We don’t aim to be helicopter

parents, but it doesn’t mean we let them go completely. Balancing this role is hard—the older the kid, the harder it

gets—but it’s not impossible. The key is to listen first, and act second.

4. Why were the children probably moved into a new school?

A. The old school is not good enough.

B. They wanted to make more new friends.

C. The new school is conveniently located near their home.

D. The ongoing child can help the shy one in the same school.

5. How did the parents help the children deal with changing schools?

A. By bearing their behavior in school. B. By choosing the best teachers for them.

C. By encouraging them to enjoy social life. D. By having open communication with them.

6. What might the underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Parents who pay very close attention to their children.

B. Parents who send their children to school in person.

C. Parents who talk too much rather than take action.

D. Parents who listen to their children all the time.

7. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Children can adapt to a new school quite easily.

B. Parents should prepare children for decisions.

C. Children should listen to their parents when making decisions.

D. Parents should communicate with children about their performance.

What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying? We are going to guess that they are probably not

painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam.

You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into

for study? Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration?

According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red

room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms — soft

blues or light greens — as relaxing, or even reassuring (令人安心的). And they seem to be: The Curtin University

study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart

rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or

knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler

rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to

relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater

concentration.

While this might seem only surprising, the finding gets into a rather controversial area of psychological (心理

学的) study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while

too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy

atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.

8. What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. Few people like bright red or yellow. B. Pale colors are connected with good grades.

C. Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous. D. Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.

9. What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2?

A. Participants’ preferences in colors. B. How participants reacted to colors.

C. Time participants spent in the rooms. D. What participants read in the rooms.
