【题目】根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

Nearly all kids have had the same experience.【1】 They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, they are bored. Yet their parents are still eating and talking... and talking... and talking. “Be patient.” One parent says. “We’ll have dessert soon.”

All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee.【2】 Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.

【3】 Many restaurants say they are “family-friendly”. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should have play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every play area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually full of happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play.【4】

The real problem begins when families want to eat in an expensive restaurant. The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other because they want to enjoy the delicious food, beautiful music, comfortable atmosphere.【5】. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.

A.However, that’s no fun for kids.
