Soup on my nose, a nearly spilled glass of wine and chocolate down my white blouse, as blind dates suggest, this was a really messy one. I have never made so much noise with plates and glasses, nor had I dined with a never-before-met companion. This blind date was quite different: we could see nothing. "Put your left hand on my shoulder, and then we'll take small steps forward," said Michael, the visually impaired(视力障碍的) server, in an East London accent. We three felt our way carefully bumping past heavy curtains before being arranged at the dining table, where we would eat and drink three completely secret and unseen courses.
Welcome to Alchemy in the Dark, Hong Kong's first full-time restaurant in total darkness. Upon arrival, diners briefly tell the chef on their allergies(过敏性反应), lock away their mobile phones and enter the windowless restaurant, which can seat 25. When the meal is over, the contents of the delicious menu are shown --- often to the diners' surprise. "This is definitely duck," my friend said, while eating chicken. "This soup," I declared, "is carrot and coriander." Even the too-close smell did not reveal the real tomato and cumin flavors. Dining in the dark changes everything: the sense of smell is heightened, manners go out of the window ----using your hands to feel around the plate becomes normal--- and there is a strange thrill in being able to ignore your facial expressions. Best of all? You don't have to spend hours beforehand(事先) wondering what to wear.
Alchemy in the Dark is at 16 Arbuthnot Road, Central, (tel: 6821 2801) and is open Monday to Saturday, from 7pm to 11pm. Reservations are required. A three-course meal with wine pairing costs HK$700 per person. Five per cent of all profits go to the Hong Kong Society for the Blind.
1.How did the author and her companion arrive at their dining table?
A. By using a map
B. By being led

D. By finding it by themselves
2.According to passage, which of the following is true?
A. The diners might eat what they are allergic to.
B. The author enjoyed a special lunch at Alchemy in the Dark.
C. The restaurant donated some money to the H. K Society for the Blind.
D. The diners aren’t allowed to take phones to the restaurant at any time.
3.From the passage we can learn that the author ___________.
A. had the table booked
B. shared the meal with a friend.
C. practiced how to eat in total darkness.
D. chose her clothes in advance for the meal.
4.The last paragraph is intended to ____________.

D. provide some information about Alchemy in the Dark.

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something,“I’m awfully sorry,”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
1.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.
A.she might be recognized |
B.asking for help looked silly |
C.she was normal and independent |
D.being fond blind was embarrassing |
2.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.
A.began to run |
B.hit a person as usual |
C.hit a lamppost by accident |
D.was caught by something |
3.At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.
A.stopped a big lorry |
B.stopped the wrong bus |
C.made no attempt to stop the bus |
D.was not noticed by other people |
4.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A.Other vehicles also stopped there. |
B.It was unreliable for making judgments. |
C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl. |
D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus. |
5.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.
A.to find people there |
B.to find more buses there |
C.to find the bus by herself there |
D.to find people more helpful there |
