11．Two years ago，a Dutch creative company opened a concept restaurant in Amsterdam that would be，in the words of its founder，"the perfect place to have dinner alone．"The restaurant is called Eenmaal-this name has been translated into English as"dinner for one"-and was launched in an attempt to start removing the stigma（污名） connected to going out alone．Obviously picking up on the same cultural trend，a new fast-casual restaurant in Washington，D．C．has seating with individual dishes，an arrangement that satisfies single diners．
A study in the Journal of Consumer Research gets at why most people are so unwilling to leave home and do fun things on their own．In a series of experiments，the University of Maryland's Rebecca Ratner and Georgetown's Rebecca Hamilton showed that when it comes to going to the movies or to dinner，subjects（受试者） are in agreement that they won't enjoy themselves as much if they aren't going with any of their friends．"People decide not to do things all the time just because they're alone，"Ratner told The Washington Post．"But the thing is that they would probably be happier going out and doing something all by themselves．"
The researchers found the main reason people didn't think they'd enjoy themselves was that they were afraid other people would think they didn't have any friends．They thought they'd be seen as unusual，antisocial，and strange for going somewhere without friends，but said they wouldn't attach these labels（标签） as strongly to someone they witnessed，say，sitting alone at a movie theater．
Ratner and Hamilton also ran some experiments to see how they might be able to push people to go out by themselves．They realized that there wasn't the same mental block against going to the grocery store alone，and supposed that this was because shopping stood for getting something done．Sure enough，subjects who considered going to a coffee shop on their own thought it sounded more enjoyable when they were told they would have reading material and could be productive than when they were going simply to enjoy a drink．Getting people to think of an experience as an accomplishment might make them more likely to do it without a friend's company．
In the absence of fellow diners，many of the customers at Eenmaal，the blog Food Republic reported，ended up staring at their phones anyway．These days，when a phone is never farther than an arm's length away，"alone"just doesn't mean what it used to．
25．The two restaurants mentioned in Paragraph 1were opened toB．

12．Whether we're 2 years old or 62，our reasons for lying are mostly the same：to get out of trouble，for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others．But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child's lie is different from an adult's lie，and how the way we deceive changes as we grow．
"Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed．Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars，"says Dr．Lee，a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study．He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older，why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying．The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage．Dr．Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras．Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy，which is put behind the child's back．Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape．
For young kids，the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments．When the test-giver returns to the room，the child is asked if he or she looked secretly．At age 2，about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn't．By 3，half of kids will lie，and by 4，that figure is 90%，studies show．
Researchers have found that it's kids with better understanding abilities who lie more．That's because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind，which includes many brain processes，such as combining several sources of information and faking that information．The ability to lie-and lie successfully-is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called"executive functioning"，or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities．Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more．
62．What's the purpose of children telling lies？B
A．To help their friends out．
B．To get rid of trouble．
C．To get attention from others．
D．To create a popular image．
63．The underlined word"deceive"in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by"B"．

D．do research

B．why some lie more than others
C．it is normal for kids to tell lies
D．how lying changes as kids grow
65．What is NOT included in the passage？A
