A

   It's become part of the restaurant table setting; knife* fork, napkin and cellphone.

   Distracted (思想不集中的）dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a microblog photo of the meal they're about to chew down or e-mailing the boss. For many smart phone users, it's hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.

  Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存）their phones at the door a 5-per cent discount on their bills. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant ，located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back, relax, enjoy their meals and actually talk with friends and family in person.

"For us, it's really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environ?ment of home, and we want people to connect again," he explained. "It's about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we're trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and re?ally enjoy the experience and the food and the company.，，

Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cellphone usage, too. " I'm guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner, it seems like the cell?phone is part of the table setting now. On every table you look at, there's a wine glass, the silverware and the cell?phone ，，，he joked.

The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a few less than half take ad?vantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.

"I think once the server approaches the table and they're presented with the offer, they like the idea of actu?ally talking to each other again," he said.

[文章大意]手机，特别是智能手机对人们的生活影响很大。人们吃饭时，往往会以玩手机的方式来打发时间，面对面的交流变得很少。一家名叫Eva的餐厅为顾客们提供存放手机的选择，目的是让人们在没有手机的干扰下进行面对面的交流。

16.  B 细节理解题，根据"...by offering customers willing to check(寄存)their phones at the door a 5-per cent discount on their bills."可知，在Eva餐厅，顾客如果把手机存放起来，就会得到5%的账单折扣，故选B。

17.  D 细节理解题。根据第二段的"For many smart phone us?ers, it's hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand."和第三段的"…enjoy their meals and actually talk with friends and family in person."可知，吃饭时玩手机会分神，不能与同伴很好地交流，故选D。

18.  A   推理判断题。根据第二段的"…customers constantly tex-ting friends, uploading a microblog photo of the meal they're about to chew down-"可知，许多顾客在吃饭前喜欢用手机拍照发微博，故选A。
