  Microwave cooking is probably the best cooking discovery besides fire.In fact, it might be better than fire, since microwaves, instead of a flame or an electric element, cook the food.

  Microwaves are short radio waves, similar to heat and light waves.They work by movement.They cause the molecules(分子)in food to move, which produces friction(摩擦力).(It’s similar to rubbing your hands together when they’re cold.)The friction produces heat in the food(not in the oven), and the heat cooks the food.

  There is a legend behind the use of microwaves for cooking.

  Percy Le Spencer was employed by the Raytheon Company during the World War Ⅱ.One day on 1942 he was working with magnetrons(电磁管), which can produce microwaves.When he pulled a candy bar from his pocket, it was a melted mess.Although Spencer was working on scientific experiments, not trying to invent a new way of cooking, he realized that it was the microwaves that had melted the candy.Spencer knew that if microwaves melted candy, they would cook other foods as well.The Raytheon Company agreed, and in 1947 it introduced its Radarange to the public.

  The first ovens were suspected(怀疑)of causing health problems, but the new models were safe when the factory’s instructions were followed.Microwave cooking now can be found in many homes all over the world.

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences .Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars . Often they relive (重新体验) these experiences in nightmares .

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill ,which will help people forget bad memories . The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience . They hope it might reduce , or possible erase (抹去) the effect of painful memories .

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain . So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are eased .

The research has caused a great deal of argument . Some think it is a bad idea , while others support it . Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war .

They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories . “Some memories can ruin people’s lives . They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare . They usually come with very painful emotions ,” said Roger Pitman , a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering .”

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (物质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past . “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser , a medical ethicist (伦理学家).

Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases , it would become more and more common . “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joeph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher . “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories .”

Dining in a completely dark room, unaware what’s on your plate while sitting next to a complete stranger may not sound like an ideal restaurant experience but it’s certainly an intriguing way to spend a rainy night in London.

   Dans le Noir, close to London’s financial district, is a restaurant full of blind waiters and waitresses who become your eyes around the restaurant, whose original Paris branch opened in 2004.

   In the bar with the light, you choose whether you want the fish, meat or vegetable, but the dishes themselves remain a secret, as do the ingredients of the “surprise” cocktails. Bags, coats and devices(设备)that light up, including watches and mobile phones, are kept in the bar. Placing your hand on the shoulder of your guide, you are led to a table in a black dining room that sets up to 60 people. And it is dark.

   The waiters tell you when the food is being placed down in front of you, then the fun begins, trying to get food into your mouth, then identifying just what it is that’s on your plate, and finally whether you have missed any of it.

   It’s also a great chance to break social convention and eat using your fingers. Those same fingers are also the only way you can tell how much wine you’re pouring into your glass.

   The happy atmosphere in the dining room also made the night memorable. You can’t really avoid talking to the person next to you at the long tables and guessing what the dishes are certainly provides adequate fuel for the conversations.

   All will be revealed at the end of the meal when you are led back out into the lit bar. Not only do you finally get to see what you’ve just been eating but also who you’ ve been talking to for the last 90 minutes.

1.What does the underlined word “intriguing.” in the first paragraph mean?

A terrible   B. interesting   C. expensive   D. new

2.According to the text, “ Dans le Noir”__________.

A is far from London’s financial district

B has its first branch opened in Britain

C is very popular among blind customers

D has a dining room which can seat up to 60 people

3.We know from the text that the customers in “Dans le Noir”_________.

A. are forbidden to eat with their fingers

B. can talk to the strangers at table

C. will book the menu in a dark bar

D. can take their mobile phones into the dining room

4.What’s the main purpose of the text?

A. To help blind people find a job in restaurants.

B. To show how to open a restaurant with a new idea.

C. To show how to enjoy the time in a dark restaurant.

D. To introduce and attract customers to “Dans le Noir ”.
