Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it mightsurprise you 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 restaurantexperience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked froma menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.

There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was fullof inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich couldalso eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a“restaurant”.

A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups(湯). On his sign he used the word'restaurant'to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups wereconsidered something that could help'restore'(恢復)your health- in French the word'restore'is“restaurer”--- so he called the soups'restaurants'. Soon, people started buying Boulanger’s soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word'restaurant' torefer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More'restaurants'opened in France, andpeople began to buy soups more often.

Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s,menus startedto appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. TheUnited States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris createdbeautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant ideaspread throughout the British Empire.

Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options fromwhich to choose.

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’tknow is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.

According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating aroundtheearth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望遠鏡). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.

Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speedsfast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous toastronauts. 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. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.

To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stayin space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere afterthat time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.

Many scientistsalso suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In Englandscientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and thenpulls it into the earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collectpieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.

The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space tohelp people use their mobile phones and computers,”says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space

Researcher.

“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,”he says.

36. What does the underlined word“these”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Telescopes.

B.Satellites.

C.Pieces of space junk.

D.BBC news reports.

37. Why is space junk considered a problem?

A.It buns up after it re-enters the atmosphere

B.It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth

C.It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds

D.It may crash into other space tools causing damage or deat

38.Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth’s atmosphere so that.

A.the tools can be reused later

B.the tools don’t become space junk

C.the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean

D.the effects of space flight can be studied

39. How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?

A.Catch it with nets.

B.Use robots to collect it.

C.Burn it in the earth’s atmosphere.

D.Send it further away from the earth.
