10．
At home，ordering food from a menu is a normal，everyday routine．I don't even give it a second thought．In China，it's a whole other story!Here，ordering is a fun game of trial and error，and the adventure begins before the food is even served!Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise"English language menus"，but the translations can just add to the confusion．Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief，the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing．During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with off-the-wall names．As an experiment，my friends and I would order things like"students addicted to chicken gristle （软骨）"and"red burned lion head"．It was always fun to see what landed on our table．Eventually we learned that"lion head"was actually pork，and"students"are"addicted"to diced （切碎的） chicken with green pepper．
Recently，I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong．It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools （凳子） eating noodles．I was hungry and cold，and the steaming bowls looked irresistible!I sat myself down and called out for a"caidan!"In response，the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant．The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes．There was only one sentence in English："crossing over the bridge noodles"．
I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like．I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of"crossing over the bridge noodles"．A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth （肉汤） and I quickly dug in．It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted!I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence-"crossing over the bridge noodles"．I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous．Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show？
56．How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing's restaurants？A
A．Confusing but amusing．
B．Easy to understand．
C．Boring and annoying．
D．Accurate and helpful．

2．Escape from FoMO
Here's a test you might enjoy：rate these situations on a number scale，ranging from 1for mild discomfort to 7 for unbearable distress．
Situation 1：you're visiting New York City and realize there's no way you'll be able to get to all the exhibits，see all the recommended plays or take in even part of the"musts"．How do you feel now？Something like 5？
Situation 2：you，re at dinner with friends，and you've all agreed to make it a strictly phone-free evening．But your smartphone won't stop beeping Twitter and text alerts．Something is obviously up in your social network，but you can't check．Even 7wouldn't match the stress you're feeling now．
Welcome to FoMO （Fear of Missing Out），the latest mental disorder caused by social media connections sharing updates that leaves individuals feeling that they are missing out on something more exciting，important，or interesting going on somewhere else．It is an outcome of technological advancement and booming social information．According to a recent study，56per cent of those who use social networks suffer this．
It is not uncommon that at night when you've sworn again to put the phone aside or turn off the computer，you cast one last glance at the screen on your way to bed in case you miss some titbit （趣闻）supplied by mere acquaintances or even strangers'requesting your"friendship"．
We all know the studies showing that end-of-life regrets centre on what we didn't do，rather than on what we did．If so，constantly watching others doing things that we are not is rich ground for a future of looking back in sorrow．Attractive online images-so charming from afar-make FoMO more destructive．Technology has become the major construct through which we define intimacy （亲密）．You may look on in wonder as someone taps out an endless text message instead of actually talking to the person they're with．Being connected to everyone，all the time，is a new human experience； we，re just not equipped to cope with it yet．
Researchers say our dependence on technology can be reduced if we manage to separate ourselves，even for short periods of time，from our gadgets．However，the problem can only be settled when we grasp that our brains and our humanity-not our technologies-enable this addiction．We cannot seek solutions without honestly asking ourselves why we are so afraid of missing out．Researchers find FoMO occurs mostly in people with unfulfilled psychological needs in fields such as love，respect and security．FoMO levels are highest in young people，in particular young men．
What，then，can we do about something so damaging to our quality of life？The best way to cope with FoMO is to recognize that，at our fast-paced life，we are sometimes bound to miss out．Instead of trying to maximize our benefits，we seek a merely"good enough"result．If you still doubt that"good enough"is the best cure for FoMO，the words of the American essayist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson might strike the right chord，"For everything you have missed，you have gained something else，and for everything you gain，you lose something else．"
