11、erican Idol with her, I would sigh, “I wish I could, but I must polish off the last 300 pages of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers for my book club meeting tonight.”Right away, I started to read the groups present selection, a best-selling novel that reviewers considered as “a work of great geni

12、us（天才）.” But I was in trouble with page three. This was a tale about a man named Geet, who led a hard life. With 543 pages still ahead, I shared his suffering : the stealing of his possessions on page 98 ; his best friends death on page 255. I dared not imagine the terrors on page 456. I wondered :

13、Was this any way to spend my precious reading time?I expected the other members to hate the book as much as I did. I was wrong. “I thought the writing was unique,” the hostess said.“I agree,” nodded another one.Hearing that, I worried that I was not smart enough to appreciate a literary work this de

14、pressing. When I declared that I thought the book should be required reading for all prisoners, the group was silent. Good, maybe theyll kick me out ! I hoped.

15、ing.

18、ago, a Dutch creative company opened a concept restaurant in Amsterdam that would be, in the words of its founder, “the perfect place to have dinner alone.” The restaurant is called Eenmaalthis name has been translated into English as “dinner for one”and was launched in an attempt to start removing

19、the stigma（污名） connected to going out alone. Obviously picking up on the same cultural trend, a new fast-casual restaurant in Washington, D.C. has seating with individual dishes, an arrangement that satisfies single diners.A study in the Journal of Consumer Research gets at why most people are so un

20、willing to leave home and do fun things on their own. In a series of experiments, the University of Marylands Rebecca Ratner and Georgetowns Rebecca Hamilton showed that when it comes to going to the movies or to dinner, subjects（受试者） are in agreement that they wont enjoy themselves as much if they

Getting people to think of an experience as a

25、n accomplishment might make them more likely to do it without a friends company.In the absence of fellow diners, many of the customers at Eenmaal, the blog Food Republic reported, ended up staring at their phones anyway.
