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 fancy.

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. 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 wonderful 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 the

customers are taken from their seats at ground level to the observation rooms in elevators that

travel at a remarkable speed.

A Theatrical Experience

Longing for having dinner when some drama is put on? Dine at Mime in Manchester. The

service is unique. Your waiter will municate your order in mime (哑剧) and keep you entertained

with performances between courses.

Children experience advertising in many forms—on TV, magazines, newspapers, movies, the

Internet and more. And advertising works on children. For example, the more TV a child watches,

the more toys that child is likely to want and ask for. This is why it's important for children to

learn that advertisements are trying to make people purchase something. And advertisers always

aim to make their products look good, perhaps even better than they really are.

Advertising affects children in different ways. How children think of advertising can depend

on several things, including their age or what they have experienced. At 0～2 years old, children

can't tell the difference between advertising and actual programs. At 3～6 years old, children can

recognize advertisements and tell them from actual programs, but they don't understand that ads

are trying to sell something. And they are likely to think of advertisements as being funny. At 7～11 years old, when children go to primary school, they can understand that advertisements are

trying to sell them something, remember advertising messages and recognize some advertising

techniques like overstating (夸大) how good products are. However, they might not always

understand that products aren't as good as advertisements say they are.

To limit the effects of advertising on school­age children, the most important thing parents

can do is talk about advertisements and encourage their children to think about what they are

trying to do.

It is a good idea to focus on the advertisements that a child sees most often. For example,

parents can get their children thinking and developing a questioning attitude. In other words,

what's the product in this advertisement? What is it for? Who is it for?

They can also ask their children about the techniques that are being used to sell a product.

This can help them work out how an advertisement makes its product look good.

4．What does the underlined word “purchase” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Say. B．Buy.

C．Watch. D．Discuss.

5．Which of the following influences how children view advertisements?

A．Children's interest. B．Children's experience.

C．Children's sex. D．Children's parents.

6．What do children aged 3～6 probably think of advertisements?

A．They are pretty funny.

B．They are trying to sell toys.

C．They are being shown in many ways.

D．They are not different from other programs.

7．In what way can parents limit the influence of advertising on their children?

A．By teaching them to run advertisements.

B．By buying advertised products and paring them.

C．By guiding them to see through advertisements.

D．By talking about the most successful advertisements.

Having lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes. We have

been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.

There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The

site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake

that measured more than 6.0. There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and,

luckily, none is shown in the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be

considered insignificant.

There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our

oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the

shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with

the other. All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt

like hours.

The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern

California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward

the__famous__landmark．

My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties

and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to

go outside. I remember I said a little prayer—something like, “Help me get out of here in time,

Dear Heavenly Father.” Minutes later, I was safe outside.

A．a new film about an earthquake
