Please sit down and enjoy your meal．Just don't talk about it．

These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners"．It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices．Instead，the idea is to just on the food．

"Silent dinner parties are fast growing，" said Honi Ryan，who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries，including Germany，Australia and the United States．"The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it．"

According to a 2013 nationwide survey，restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer（顾客） complaints．And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out．

Though silent dinners may seem curious，the idea is not a new one．Yogis（瑜伽信徒） have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice．In fact，it was a trip to a temple（寺庙） in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming．

"We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour，" said EAT Greenpoint owner Jordan Colon．And background music will be turned off，too．

"It's funny；when I first opened EAT，I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions（反映） to that，" said Colon．"Some people who come out to eat are ready to party，but it was so quiet without music．But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed．"

Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various，in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards，said Ryan．"At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence．But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh．"

1.The first paragraph is written to be a（n）____ ．

A．conclusion　　　　 B．introduction

C．argument　　　　　　 D．warning

2.At silent dinner parties，people should not____．

A．leave before they finish eating

B．just pay attention to the food

D．take electronic devices to the party

3.What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraph 5?

If you have ever talked about your dreams with your friends, you will find some of your friends don’t remember their dreams, while others can tell their dreams very clearly. Why do people remember dreams differently? The answer is simple: they are two different types of dreamers -low-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers.

High-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreams said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month. Perrine Ruby, a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people(21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers)and recorded their more active in high-recall dreamers .This was true both when they were sleeping and awake .This area of the brain is to collect information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond(作出反应)more strongly to bearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they can be woken up more easily by sounds and movements

This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you’re worried during the night, you are easy to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you remember very little in the morning This is because "you never get a chance to remember”

As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, what you dream can also affect our memory. Negative(消极的) dreams are more likely to be recalled than ordinary dreams. Nightmares(噩梦)are often recalled because they are negative, and such dreams cause fear.

1.What can we know about high-recall dreamers？

A.they have very little brain activity when they sleep

B.They can remember their dreams clearly

C.They don't know how to describe their dreams

D.They remember their dreams twice a week

2.Compared to high-recall dreamers, low-recall dreamers_______.

A.have better sleep

B.have more sleepless nights

C.are more easily woken at night

D.respond faster when hearing their names

3.What's the meaning of the underlined word “sensitive"?

A.敏感的 B.迟钝的 C.严重的 D.便利的

4.What did the research project in Finland find?

A.Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.

B.Ordinary dreams cause fear.

C.Nightmares often happen when we don’t sleep well.

D.Negative dreams are easier to remember.

5.What's the main idea of the article?

A.The way how our brain affect our dream.

B.The reason why people remember dreams differently.

C.A study about the high-recall dreamers.

D.The way how we can be a low-recall dreamer.
