It’s become part of the restaurant table setting: knife, fork, napkin and cell phone. Distracted customers constantly text friends, take photos of the meal they’re about to chow down or email the boss. For many smart-phone users, it’s hard just to focus on the meal and their friends at hand. Now,(16)one restaurant in Los Angeles named Eva is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world by offering customers who are willing to check their phones at the reception desk a 5 percent discount on their bill. Mark Gold, the owner of Eva Restaurant, hopes this will give customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meals and actually talk with friends and families in person, rather than sitting silently together with eyes gluing to the cell phones.(17)"For us, it’s really not about people disrupting other guests. We want to create an environment of home and we want people to connect again," he explained. "We’re trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company. " Gold said applying this suggestion reminded him to avoid cell phone usage too. "I feel guilty about it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner, it seems that the cell phone is a part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, there are wine glasses, silverwares and cell phones," he joked.(18)Gold said more than half of the customers took advantage of the deal and they didn’t get upset about it. They actually like the idea of truly talking to each other again.
16. What do we know about the Eva Restaurant?
17. Why shouldn’t cell phones be used on dining tables according to Mark Gold?
18. What was the result of the new policy?
选项
A、The cell phones might be stolen by others.

C、It will disturb other customers.
D、It destroys real communication.
答案
D
解析
原因目的题。本题问的是为什么Mark Gold认为吃饭时不应使用手机。短文中提到,MarkGold说:“对于我们来说,这么做并不真的是因为这样会打扰到别的顾客,而是我们想创造一种家的气氛,我们希望人们能再一次沟通。”
