29、 ever saw a pop-up restaurant. The 26-year-old entrepreneur was on vacation in England four years ago and had to look up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it. Hanging above him was a capsule（航天舱）full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the
30、 coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded PopUpR in 2012 to promote the idea of pop-up restaurants in the USA, has been studying them ever since.Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is
31、 that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 billion U.S. restaurant industry, but pop-ups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower-risk way for entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations.
32、 And some struggling cities, like Oakland, California, have turned to them to help revitalize local economies impacted by the recession（衰退）. The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Yo
33、ur cooks and chefs are really talented, but theyre stuck in the back of somebody elses kitchen cooking somebody elses menu,” says Zach Kupperman, chief businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give a brief introduction about the menu and thems
34、elves and then bravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups temporary nature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make sure the diners will show up.Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly, and there is no guarantee that diners wont tire of the concept. Some entr
35、epreneurs have resorted to even weirder locations in a former limestone mine, say, or at the top of a crane to keep customers interested. “Its not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.” says Baras.51. What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean? A. Chefs
36、designed creative dishes.B. Diners tasted food in a new and creative way.C. The capsule containing diners made a circle.D. Great changes were made in the food industry.52. Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that _.A. pop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwide
37、B. they have the desire to explore a safer way to make a livingC. their investment in pop-ups will bring them a long-lasting fortune D. pop-ups provide a changeable test field for talented chefs creativity53. The writers purpose of writing the passenger is _. A. to appeal to people to dine out in po
38、p-up restaurantsB. to give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurantsC. to warn business owners of the appearance of pop-up restaurantsD. to foresee the future of pop-up restaurants developmentB The pills we take to treat anxiety may affect the behavior of fish, new research in the journal Science s
39、uggests.Swedish researchers found a common drug in rivers downstream of wastewater treatment plants. It is a drug for treating anxiety, called oxazepam. It is accumulating in fish and makes them bolder. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to get rid of drugs. As a result, the drugs end up i
40、n wildlife, reaching harmful levels.“Its something we dont think about very often, but there are a lot of similarities between fish and humans. So some of our responses to drugs can be seen in fish as well,” said Karen Kidd. She is a biologist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The mood-alt
41、ering drugs get into waterways when people taking the prescriptions throw unused pills into the waste stream.The researchers let perch（鲈鱼）swim in lab tanks with concentrations similar to those found downstream from wastewater treatment plants. “The perch preferred to swim alone rather than in large
42、groups. They were more likely to explore their environment,” said Micael Jonsson of Ume University in Sweden, who helped lead the research. Johsson said, “This adventurous behavior required more energy. And they ate more plankton（浮游生物）, or tiny algae-eating animals, to guarantee enough energy for th
43、eir activities. This could reduce the population of plankton.” The result could be more algae（水藻）. On the other hand, the new behavior could lead to the opposite effect. If perch make themselves closer to their natural enemies, they are likely to be eaten by them.None of the scientists is suggesting
44、 that people should give up these drugs. They just want to reduce the effects of the medicines on the environment. They recommend wastewater treatment plants should be redesigned to get rid of these medicines. But Kidd said that would be too expensive for some communities.Bryan Brooks, director of t
45、he Environmental Health Science Program at Baylor University, said drugs could also be designed to break down more quickly in the environment. And the government could continue to run recycling programs where people drop off their unused drugs at government locations. Brooks said hes particularly co
46、ncerned about drug effects on aquatic（水生的）environments, like the Trinity River south of Dallas and the South Platte River near Denver, where the majority of the flow comes from treated wastewater. In the developing world, he said, the problem may be even worse, because of careless wastewater treatme
47、nt and industrial regulations.54. Which of the following best describes oxazepams effect on fish? A. It causes fish to be more daring. B. It makes fish much stronger.C. It has little influence on fish. D. It helps treat a fish disease.55. What will happen if perch become adventurous?A. They will eat
48、 more algae. B. There will be less plankton.C. They will need more oxazepam. D. Their natural enemies will be stronger.56. What would be the best title for the passage?A. More wastewater treatment plants are neededB. Fish in wastewater become more adventurousC. Drugs for treating mental diseases end up in wildlifeD. Anxiety drugs found in rivers change the behav
