While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers, a restaurant owner in the US is taking it to a whole new level. Tim Harris gives out free hugs to every customer at the end of each meal.
The atmosphere(气氛) at his restaurant “Tim's Place” is so positive(积极的) that customers often call it the “World's friendliest restaurant”.
“Tim's Hug” is in fact an item on the menu described as a “love” treat. Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved. The 26-year-old man is probably the only Down Syndrome Sufferer(唐氏综合症患者) in the US to own a restaurant, but he has several other things to be proud of—he's a skillful special Olympian, an excellent sailor, and an experienced fisherman. He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!
When Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant, Keith, a small businessman himself, supported him. Tim hired(雇佣) other people to manage the place and do the cooking, and he introduced the idea of free hugs. He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant. That is why he included “love” as an item on the menu. Customers can order the free hug from Tim, and even if they don't, he'll probably hug them anyway.
The restaurant has been around since 2010, and Tim has given out over 19,000 hugs in the past five years—he keeps count using a special Hug Counter. “I've been coming here once a week,” said Michelle GarthJones, a regular customer. “I love local restaurants, and this special one has a story that stays with you.”
【1】Which of the following words can best describe Tim Harris?
A.Funny. B.Creative. C.Serious. D.Polite.
【2】Why did Tim put the item of “love” on the menu?
A.Because he wanted to get more money by hugging them.
B.Because he hoped to make his menu really special.
C.Because he tried to make customers feel relaxed in his restaurant.
D.Because he is the Homecoming King and Student of the Year.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Tim is very talented in many things though he is in poor health.
B.Unless you order Tim's Hug, he will not hug you.
C.As soon as you enter Tim's Place, you will get a warm hug.
D.Michelle GarthJones loves listening to the story in the restaurant.
【4】What may be the best title for this passage?
A.Tim Harris' Great Success B.A Special Experience in a Restaurant
C.A Down Syndrome Sufferer D.The World's Friendliest Restaurant
25、"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong..."But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People don't say exactly what they are thinking when they want to finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove. "The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.
【1】When a person in America asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear" ________ "
A.How are you? B.Hello.
C.I don't know. D.Fine.
【2】When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say"_________ "
A.You are wrong. I disagree. B.I'm not sure.
C.I'm sure I disagree. D.I don’t agree with you.
【3】A polite way to finish a talk is to say"__________"
A.You have to go now.
B.I want to hang up.
C.I have to go now.
D.I don't want to talk any more.
【4】 When a person says "I've got to go now. Someone's at the door.", the person may be_______.
A.giving an excuse
B.hurting someone's feelings
C.talking to a person at the door
D.going to another place
【5】The rule of the game of language is probably____________ .
A."Always say what you mean"
B."Don't disagree with people."
C."Never say exactly what you're thinking."
D."Be polite."

During Beijing’s two sessions (两会), many proposals and suggestions were referred to. Here are three problems that might interest you. | |
Smartphone ban (禁止) | According to the survey made last year, 68.1 percent of Chinese school students have their own smartphones. Lei Yanqin, a deputy of NPC, suggested that smartphones should be banned at schools nationwide. She said that listening to music and playing games in class not only disturb teachers, but also make it difficult for students to listen carefully. She added that students might also show off (炫耀) their phones too much. |
New uniform designs | Most junior high schools in China require students to wear a uniform. However, only three in ten students are satisfied with their uniforms, as they think they are old-fashioned and of poor quality, China Education Daily reported. The Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Central Committee suggested that the uniforms could be redesigned. The committee said the new design could include more elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. They added that better quality clothing should be used to make the uniforms so that they will be more comfortable to wear. |
Video game rating system | Over 200 million teenagers across China play online games like King of Glory, Guangming Daily reported. With their computers and ipads, teenagers are able to play most online games produced in China and abroad. However, some violent games might not be suitable for young people. Many NPC deputies suggested that a rating system (分级制度) for online games should be introduced. All games would be sorted into age groups according to their content. Players would have to provide their ID numbers before playing certain games. |
