Consumers at the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant are led by a waiter with night – vision Goggles(夜视镜). Inside Dark Restaurant in Beijing, a table of 30 diners was getting quarrelsome. “I’m touching your head!”said one, like a talkative child. “Who just said that?”another replied. Such voices floated across the 90-plus-seat restaurant, but no one could see who was talking, except the waiters, who were equipped with military-grade night-vision goggles.

       In the new conceptual dining, restaurants are turning off the lights to focus attention on the food. The trend seems to have started in Zurich and has since spread all over the world, with diners sitting in unlit rooms and, lately, being served by waiters in night-vision goggles. The idea is that by depriving(剥夺) one sense (sight), other senses are heightened.

       Darkness has other benefits. ''Chinese people tend to be shy,'' said Chen Long, who owns Whale Inside Dark, which opened in January. ''People have found it easy to break the ice here.''

       The first dark restaurant, which opened in Zurich in 1999, had a simple intention. The goal ''was creating jobs for the blind and handicapped people,'' said the manager. The concept has been popular in Paris, London, Sydney and elsewhere, offering new variations on sight deprivation, by which people can experience a lot in a completely dark condition.

       In Beijing, the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant is not only about heightening the sense of taste, but lowering social inhibitions(压抑). It is popular with Internet daters, who met on matchmaking Web sites that are spreading throughout China. Diner for two is about 225 yuan, or $29 at 7.76 yuan to the dollar.

       Eating in the dark is not without its troubles. Instead of family-style dining, food is served on single-serving plates. When each dish arrives, the server guides your hand to the plate and offers helpful tips like, ''This course is eaten with a spoon.''

       The style seems to be working . ''People feel a lot more comfortable when they can't be seen by others,'' said Mr. Chen, who is opening a second branch in Shang-hai, ''Couples get to know each other without seeing other's faces.''

What does “getting along” with your teacher mean? “Getting along” means that both you and your teacher have a way of communicating and getting what you need from the relationship. In your teacher’s opinion, he or she wants to make sure that you are paying attention, being polite, and trying your best to learn. In your opinion, you want a teacher who is respectful to you, answers your questions, and tries to help you learn. You can get along and learn without being friends with your teacher, although it’s nice if that happens.

In every school, kids will say that some teachers are mean or strict, but don’t judge a teacher until you are in his or her class and can see for yourself. A strict teacher may be someone who feels strong about getting his or her job done — teaching you the subject you are supposed to learn. It’s also important to remember that making mistakes is a part of learning. By pointing out your mistakes and helping you correct them, a teacher is teaching you. Remember, in most cases, your teacher is on your side.

Even if a teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship, especially if you carry out your responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities:

●Attend class ready to learn. Be prepared for class with the right pencils and books.

●Listen carefully when your teacher is talking.

●Do your best, whether it’s classroom work, homework, or a test.

1.The main idea of this passage is about _______.

2. If you get along with your teacher, _______.

3.What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?

4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the responsibility of a student?
