After dinner I said I wanted to 34 the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street.

They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung disease later in life. Doctors in Boston‎, ‎Massachusetts studied 1 100 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mothers smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.‎ Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked.

Inside Dark Restaurant in Beijing, a table of 30 diners was getting quarrelsome. "I am touching your head ! "said one, like a talkative child. "Who just said that?" another replied. Such voices floated across the 90-plus-soat restaurant, but no one could see who was talking, except the waiters, who were equipped with military-grade night-vision goggles.‎ In the new dining, restaurants are turning off the lights to focus attention on the food. It seems to have started in Zurich and has since spread all over the world, with diners sitting in unlit rooms and lately, being served by waiters in night-version goggles. The idea is that by depriving one sense( sight), other senses are becoming strong.‎ Darkness has other benefits. "Chinese people tend to be shy," said Chert Long, who owns Whale Inside Dark, which opened in January. "People have found it easy to break the ice here."‎ The first dark restaurant, opened in Zurich in t999, had a simple intention. The goal was creating jobs for the blind and handicapped people, said the manager. The concept has been popular in Paris, London, Sydney and elsewhere, offering new variations on sight deprivation, by which people can experience a lot in a completely dark condition.‎ In Beijing, the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant is not only about heightening the sense of taste, but lowering social pressure. It is popular with Internet daters, who met on matchmaking Websites ‎ that are spreading throughout China.‎ Eating in the dark is not without its troubles. Instead of family-style dining, food is served on single-serving plates. When each dish arrives, the server guides your hand to the plate and offers helpful tips like "this course is eaten with a spoon."‎ The style seems to be working. "People feel a lot more comfortable when they can't be seen by others, " said Mr. Chen, who is opening a second branch in Shanghai, "Couples get to know each other without seeing others' faces."‎ ‎72. The passage is mainly talking about ________. ‎ ‎ A. a new way to break the ice B. dining in the dark ‎ C. a healthy dining style D. the advantages of the darkness ‎73.
