I realized I would not see a real person named Sophie at Sophie's Eatery because, like most new restaurants these days, Sophie's is a robo-restaurant.
When I walked in, a cute little manager robot appeared, looking rather like a toaster with blinking (眨) blue eyes. It escorted me to a nice table in the back. The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining choices. I tapped my choices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back down.
I watched as full plates rode the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle (过道) of tables. In just a few minutes, my dish stopped at my table, and I took it from the belt. Later, I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt, and it was taken away into kitchen to be cleaned.
I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish. The food was delicious, but I was starting to feel extremely angry because dealing with robots always makes me feel inhuman. Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.
So when my dessert arrived, I took action. I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash. I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster's blinking red eyes—at last, a real live person would arrive!
But instead, a crew of two robots quickly appeared. A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the piece of the broken plate into a robot garbage can. They finished and moved back into the kitchen.
My plan to get a little reality into Sophie's Eatery failed. I hope the robo-restaurant trend ends soon. I want to deal with people again!
Many people feel that dream is unique to humans. However, many dog owners will likely disagree on that. They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs, snort (哼) and sometimes growl (低声吼叫) which gives the impression that they are dreaming. These things may wonder us about whether dogs dream.
Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream. It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles. Researchers used special machines to measure electrical activity in a dog's brain and human's brain. Scientists already knew that when humans dream, a certain part of the brain is active during sleep. Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs. Scientists have other data that back up these findings.
Many people dream that they are trying to move but cannot. Interestingly, part of that experience is not a dream. When people sleep, the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed (使麻痹). Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while they are sleeping. Dog brains make the same chemical. In one study during which this chemical was blocked, sleeping test dogs performed physical activities, such as standing up, sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits, or chasing imaginary balls.
Because of these similarities, researchers believe that the content of a dog's dream might come from the same source as a human's dream. "People's dreams are usually based on things they did that day," says Dr. Samantha Hudspith. "So there is reason to believe that dogs dream about the things they've done that day. Of course, there will never be a way to prove this. Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can."
Which do you like better: breakfast or lunch? Brunch gets its name from the first two letters of breakfast (br-) and the last four letters of lunch (-unch).
. They liked to go hunting. During the hunting break, they would enjoy a mid-morning meal that included meat, eggs and many other things.
Today, it is a meal eaten around late morning to early afternoon, usually on weekends. It might seem like a simple meal, but sometimes it raises breakfast to an artistic level. For example, ordinary pancakes might be changed to blueberry pancakes.
In Melbourne, brunch culture is also being welcomed. I decided to try it with my friend. We visited a cafe that is famous for its flower theme.
This theme is also shown in its food and drinks. The pink rose tea latte (拿铁) had real rose petals (花瓣) on top. For the main course (主菜) I chose the soft-shell crab. The crab was placed in a bread bowl with some fried crab claws (爪) on the top.
The brunch greatly satisfied my appetite (食欲).
A. It tasted as sweet as it looked.
B. Lack of food is the main cause of brunch.
C. Well, with brunch you don't have to choose!
D. Though I was full, I still wanted to have another one.
E. Rich British people are believed to have invented brunch.
F. Even if I was busy with work, I still spent enough time having breakfast.
G. There was a wall full of various types of fresh and colorful flowers.
I have a close childhood friend. He spent the last eight years attending night1to get his bachelor's degree (学士学位) while also doing a full-time job. Last month, after years of late nights and weekends of studying, he2graduated.
He3in our hometown after high school,4most of his friends, myself included, left long ago for other states for university and jobs. Over time, work, families, and other5have made it difficult for us all to be6in our hometown at the same time.
I put forward a wonderful idea: plan a weekend that we'd all be7to fly back to our hometown to surprise him and celebrate his8. It was so much fun9the affair. The bait (诱饵): his mom told him that he was going to have10with just his grandparents to celebrate. Little did he know that the family dinner would11a 20-person affair with friends from all around the states. I got to12a cake so that everyone13could enjoy it.
When the guest of honour arrived to "dinner with the14", he was greatly surprised and told us it made him feel special. The "white lie" dinner plan was a great15for me.

Dear Mr. Henry,
Yours,
Li Hua
Once there was a princess. Her father was the king. He wanted her to marry someone that would make her laugh. Many princes came from around the world. No one made her laugh.
Three brothers lived near the king's castle. They wanted to marry the princess too. So they began walking to the castle. They each had a loaf of bread. As they walked, they saw a sad old man. "Can you share some food?" the old man asked the first brother. The first brother said, "No," and then walked away. Then the first brother fell, and hurt his leg. He couldn't walk to the castle. He went home. The second brother passed the old man. "Can you share some food?" the old man asked. "No," said the second brother. He turned and walked away. Like his brother, he fell and hurt his leg. He also went home.
Dale, the third brother, also saw the old man. "Can you share some food?" the old man asked. "Yes," said Dale. He and the old man shared the loaf of bread. "For your kindness, I have a gift for you," the old man said. "It will make the princess laugh." The old man gave Dale a goose with golden feathers. Dale did not know how a goose would make the princess laugh. But he thanked the old man and went on his way.
As Dale walked, a girl touched the golden feathers of the goose, but suddenly, she was stuck (粘住)!
When a man passed Dale and the three girls, he tapped a girl on the shoulder, and he became stuck, too.
