    Recently I had an experience of eating dinner at a “dark restaurant", where people eat in complete1. Diners eat their whole meal in total blackness and have to2the waiters' guidance if they need to go to the bathroom. I wanted to understand the experience of being3. Then I found out eating was a really4activity.

    It was a special meal. Because we couldn't see where anything was, my friend and I knocked down glasses and5food. Even though my senses of taste and6became more sensitive (敏感的), I had to eat much more slowly, trying to7what I was eating.8water was without doubt difficult, and I even kept drinking from my friend's glass.

    After failing to9any food with a fork for five minutes, I decided to use my10. I reached down, expecting rice and vegetables, but instead, I stuck my hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup. "Ahh...!" "It's best to use a11for this soup,” the waiter said into my ear. It was 12 but much too late. Even using a spoon, most of the soup ended up on my shirt. I felt13, even though no one could see me.

    Our waiter advised us to lift the plates and bowls close to our faces. Only in this way was I able to eat something.14, when I left the restaurant, I still felt15. Anyway, through this special dining, I was much more aware of the challenges that blind people face.

    Kangaroos have long been a nuisance to many Australian farmers. Keeping these kinds of animals away from their crops and water supplies has become a continuous fight. A traditional way has been a series of the huge screaming (尖叫)from loudspeakers. Researchers have found that kangaroos often become used to these man-made sounds and take little notice of them.

    Australian farmers could be about to get an unusual new weapon(武器)to protect their crops from kangaroos. Researchers in Melbourne have found that kangaroos can be frightened away by the loud sound of their own large feet. It appears to be quite a breakthrough. This is the noise these animals make when they feel danger before running away quickly. Using the animals^' own alarm system could be what angry farmers have been looking for.

    Animal rights protectors are happy about this new finding. When people complain that the number of 'kangaroos has risen quickly, they say that a large number of kangaroos have been killed or injured on Australian roads by cars and trucks. Also, they don't want several million to be shot dead every year by human beings. Researchers, who are hoping to develop their footstep sound technology, believe it could also be used to lead kangaroos away from busy highways. The protectors are in favor of this solution which can prevent kangaroos from being harmed and also please the farmers.

    Many of us were delighted to learn that a high school senior Kwasi Enin was accepted to all eight Ivy (常青藤)League universities. To our surprise, he wasn't excited as expected, but appeared extra calm. He announced that he would revisit the universities to find the best suitable in music or medicine. He also wanted to compare their financial aid packages.

    Kwasi's success story is rare, but his reaction is not. After the admission letters arrive at home, students have 30 days to really think about what kind of school would help them grow as a person, which school would best prepare them for the future, and at which school they would be happiest. And they also have to think about whether they can afford the school they choose.

    But how to answer the questions about which school is the best suitable university? Some young people are attracted to large universities with great school spirit and a list of offerings. But besides those advantages, many of these universities focus on graduate work and research, with undergraduates (本科生)taught mostly by part-time instructors. Others are attracted to smaller boarding schools with discussion-based classes. But some of these schools will have much limitation for students who want a high-energy city life experience.

    Many students today seem to think they should pick the university where they will get the diploma that will help them get the most highly paid job. This is a sad misunderstanding of what a college education should provide. A good college education should prepare them to overcome any difficulty andthrivein society. It helps them to form the habit of creative mind and spirit that will continue to develop far beyond their university years. So when you choose college, you should consider if it is filled with useful learning to help create new spaces for different possibilities of growth.
