A

   It's become part of the restaurant table setting; knife* fork, napkin and cellphone.

   Distracted (思想不集中的)dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a microblog photo of the meal they're about to chew down or e-mailing the boss. For many smart phone users, it's hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.

  Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存)their phones at the door a 5-per cent discount on their bills. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant ,located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back, relax, enjoy their meals and actually talk with friends and family in person.

"For us, it's really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environ?ment of home, and we want people to connect again," he explained. "It's about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we're trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and re?ally enjoy the experience and the food and the company.,,

Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cellphone usage, too. " I'm guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner, it seems like the cell?phone is part of the table setting now. On every table you look at, there's a wine glass, the silverware and the cell?phone ,,,he joked.

The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a few less than half take ad?vantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.

"I think once the server approaches the table and they're presented with the offer, they like the idea of actu?ally talking to each other again," he said.

C [2015 •黑龙江省佳木斯市第一中学高一下学期期中]

The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The other test is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT yearly, including about 100,000 foreign students. The or?ganization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words. But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.

The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be asked to tell the mean?ing of words according to the context of the reading passa?ges. Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University. She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform.

Eddie West is with the College Board. He says the new test will better predict a student's performance in col?lege. The changes are moving the test in a positive direc?tion. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abili?ties that students need to succeed. The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it's a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Inde?pendence or Martin Luther King's work, or anything else that might be tested.

Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, may feel it is more diffi?cult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.

24.  What will be tested in the new SAT?

  A.  All the different meanings of a word.

B.  The rare usage of the common words.

C.  The difficult words for foreign students.

D.  The proper meaning of the words in the passages.

25.  The new SAT could be more difficult for international students because _______ .

  A.  they are short of skills and abilities

B.  they often perform badly in college

C.  they know nothing about American history

D.  they have different cultural backgrounds

26.  What's the main idea of the text?

  A.  How to prepare for the new SAT.

B.  The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.

C.  Advice for foreign .students on passing the SAT.
