They look so much alike that they could be brother and sister.Do you believe that people who live together for many years would look alike? Its strange, but scientists say its true.How scientists proved it? In a study, scientists found young couples only showed similarity by chance. However, elder couples were very likely to look like each other. The similarity could be very subtle (微妙) and could be found in wrinkles (皱纹) or furrows, etc. Besides, some couples look far more alike than other couples.The scientists thought of several possible reasons:Diet. “We are what we eat.” As couples usually share the same diet, will they probably look alike? For example, if both partners eat a high fat diet, their faces will tend to look fat. However, the scientists ruled this out using another small study.Environment. Will elderly couples show similarity because they live together in the same area for a long time? The environmental factors such as sunshine and wind affect the skin in similar ways. The scientists ruled this possibility out as well.Empathy. This is the theory the scientists believe in. Couples grow to look similar because they are empathizing with each other. They copy each others facial expressions. For example, if one partner often smiles in a certain way, the other is likely to copy it. In this way, their faces share similar wrinkles and furrows.46 .

The first restaurants were invented thousands of years ago. However, they were very different from restaurants today.The first restaurants were in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. These restaurants served food in large stone bowls. People didnt order food from a menu. Everyone used to share the food from big bowls. People believe that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens. Also, people didnt have to store food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants.Later, restaurants began to open in China. In the early 1100s, more than 1 million people lived in the city of Hangzhou, China. It was a very busy city, and people had money. All of these people had to eat. Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the Imperial Way, a very big street in the city. Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome, people in China could choose food from a menu. They didnt have to eat the same food as everyone else.For the next several centuries, there were restaurants all over the world. People could buy food on the street or at inns- small hotels. Then, in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris. These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today. There was a bigger. variety of food, and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience. In the 19th century, trains made travel much faster and simpler. In the end, this kind of restaurant began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world.Now, restaurants are everywhere. You can buy a variety of different kinds of food. You can have food sent to your door. But remember it wasnt always like that.56 .
