15、would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lins parents would let him decide.Lins eyes moved down the notice board that listed all the courses on offer.

17、eeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something hed like to do.

23、to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there
24、 were no menus anywhere.There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called
25、a “restaurant”.A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups( 汤 ). On his sign he used the word “restaurant” to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help “restore” ( 恢 复 ) your healthin French the word “rest
26、ore” is “restaurer”so he called the soups “restaurants”. Soon, people started buying Boulangers soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word “restaurant” to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened in France, and people be
27、gan to buy soups more often.Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Pari

What many people dont know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more
32、than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes ( 望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we cant see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the plan
33、et at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces
34、. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fa
35、ll safely into the earths atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pull
36、s it into the earths atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.“The problem is becoming more challenging because were sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and comp
