题目列表(包括答案和解析)

It’s become part of the restaurant table setting: knife, fork, napkin and cell phone.

      Distracted (思想不集中的) dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a Weibo photo of the meal they’re about to chew down or emailing the boss. For many smart-phone users, it’s hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.

      Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存) their phones at the door a 5-percent discount on their bill. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant, located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.

      “For us, it’s really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again,” he explained. “It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we’re trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.”

      Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cell phone usage, too. “I’m guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, it’s a wine glass, the silverware and the cell phone,” he joked.

      The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.

      “I think once the server approaches the table and they’re presented with the offer, they like the idea of actually talking to each other again,” he said.

1.When having meal in Eva Restaurant, we are not offered             on the table.[学,

A. forks                        B. cellphones                       C. napkins          D. knives

2.Why does Gold think people should not use cellphones at table?

A. Because it can cause health problems.

B. Because it will disturb other customers.

C. Because it can get a 5-percent discount on the customers’ bills.

D. Because it may prevent people communicating with their companions.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Many people would like to upload a photo of their food before they eat nowadays.

B. People are forbidden to use cellphones in Eva Restaurant.

C. More than half of the customers in Eva Restaurant have enjoyed the discount.

D. People can easily connect with each other anytime without using cellphones.

4.What can be the best title of the passage?

A. No Cellphone at Table!
