Moham took the cake and his unexpected soda to a table and sat down to eat. Why was it that English had been so ________ for him in his classes in Tunisia, but when it came to ________speaking, he couldn’t even get what he wanted to eat?

6 . Frato’s Pizza looks like a typical family restaurant, with its black-and-white checkered floor and red chairs. But in the kitchen, the cooks are cooking for four other restaurants at the same time.

There is, of course, the delicious pizza that customers have come to expect from Frato’s when they walk through the door. But there are also spicy chicken gyros for Halal Kitchen, barbecue chicken tenders for Tenderlicious, salmon grilled cheese for Cheesy Deliciousness and Butterfinger milkshakes for Heavenly Shakes, all of which can only be ordered through online sites Grubhub, DoorDash and UberEats.

Owner Michael Kudrna launched the four spin-offs (分店) earlier this year in a matter of weeks as he races to keep his Chicago-area business ahead of a growing trend: restaurants designed only for delivery or take-out.

Thousands of restaurants are experimenting with these virtual spin-offs tucked (隐藏) inside their own kitchens. Others are opening “ghost kitchens”, where all food is prepared to go.

Both concepts have come out to take advantage of the rising popularity of ordering out instead of dining in. The trend also speaks to the growing power of third-party delivery companies, which have transformed the way many people find restaurants and raised expectations for speed and convenience.

The $26.8 billion online ordering market is the fastest-growing source of restaurant sales in the United States, according to David Portalatin, a food industry adviser for The NPD group. Digital orders, while still accounting for just 5% of all restaurant orders, are growing by some 20% each year. Restaurant visits, meanwhile, are remaining mostly flat.

In this case, UberEats has helped launch 4,000 such virtual restaurants worldwide and about half of them are in the U.S. and Canada, according to Kristen Adamowski, head of Uber’s virtual restaurant program.

Grubhub and UberEats say their virtual restaurant programs help small businesses compete in this landscape. Both actively reach out to restaurants with suggestions for online spin-offs based on data collected from customer searches — extending their influence from how people get their food to what should go on the menu.

Virtual restaurants also have the obvious benefit of testing new concepts without taking on the high rent or hiring more staff, said Rick Carmac, head of restaurant management at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York.

9 . “I know when to go out, and when to stay in…,” English rock star David Bowie once confidently sang in his hit single Modern Love. However, when it comes to matters of dining, the decision claimed (声称) by the singer-songwriter is more confusing than one can hope for. As for me, I agree that it is better to dine out than to stay in and order home delivery.

To begin, dining out is not simply the act of leaving our house and eating outside of it. When we set foot in a restaurant, we are immediately greeted not only by a server ready to seat us, but also by a flooding of senses. In other words, to dine out is to experience an atmosphere, one that is unique to each café and restaurant. Besides, going out for a meal can be a break from the hard boring work of domestic (家务) living. We could take it as an opportunity for self-care-a chance to treat ourselves by dressing up and arriving in style at a fancy restaurant.

Some food delivery app users would reason that it is too much of a hassle (麻烦) to dress up and go out to eat, and that it is much more convenient to dine at home. However, it is worth noting that we may not always receive our food in the most satisfactory condition when choosing home delivery. There is the risk of receiving food orders with missing items or even entirely wrong orders that cannot be sent back. Consequently, it might make more sense to make the trip out to dine out, rather than risk disappointment by ordering home delivery.

All in all, dining out can be a breath of fresh air to step outside the four walls of the house every once in a while and reap the many benefits of patronizing (光顾) a dining place.

2. Which of the following is the author’s idea about eating out?

A．It saves large amounts of time.

B．It helps us skip social interactions.

C．It improves our sense of achievement.

D．It offers us a short getaway from housework.

3. What disadvantage does ordering home delivery have?

A．The delivery will be charged.	B．The orders may be sent by mistake.
C．It is inconveniently delivered.	D．The food doesn’t taste very delicious.

4. What is the text most probably?

A．A speech.

B．An advertisement.

C．A survey report.

D．An announcement.
