smells of kabob(烤羊肉串）hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less. owned by a local couple, this persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack. the space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers especially those experienced in the delights of middle easterner cooking.a common sight is that of old persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on tv, drinking a black tea known as persian chai, and reading local persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plate piled with food.the variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well.the food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架). the main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat. one delicious and extremely healthy dish is the joojeh kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. another great kabob is the chelo kabob, kabob consisting of grilled beef. although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. it is a place that should not be overlooked. 56. when first entering the restaurant, one can find that it _. a. is splendidly decorated b. has pleasant smells of kabobsc. is crowded with dining tables d. looks like a common restaurant57. what activity is also mentioned apart from dining in the restaurant?a. watching news events on tv. b. drinking a kind of black coffee. c. reading local english newspapers. d. discussing world topics in low voices. 58. the food of the restaurant _. a. is served in small amounts b. is rather expensivec. is rich in variety d. is very healthy59. what is the dish joojeh kabob mainly made of?a. rice. b. chicken c. bread d. beef60. it can be inferred from the passage that the restaurant _. a. occupies a large space b. owns a favorable locationc. is popular for its special food d. has a quiet environment insideb play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years more and more research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. from earliest infancy （婴儿）, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. the main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and assist play. to succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often and will come back to again and again. therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a childs development.in recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. so a babys ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. a baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling(乱涂) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with othersby the third stage of play developmentfrom five to seven or eight years old the child is at school. but for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. it is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. but once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 61. the writer wants us to understand that a child_. a. cannot grow up without toysb. matures（使成熟） through play c. uses toys as friendsd. has to be taught how to play62. according to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents _.a. determine his character b. will not change after the age of threec. partly determine the standard he is likely to reachd. to a large extent determine the choice of toys63. the passage tells us that children are the most curious when they are about_.a. two years oldb. one year old c. six years oldd. four years old64. the article is about_.a. the importance of playb. the importance of booksc. the relationship between play and workd. childrens speech development camerican girlits packed with the things
