Do you like eating out? Well, eating out in Guangzhou is fantastic. Guangzhou has a number of really good restaurants, such as The Magic Steak(牛排), Fish House and Funny Kitchen. Many people think the best one is The Magic Steak. It's the best because it has the thickest steaks, the freshest salads and the best French fries. You need to get there before 7 p.m. to get a table, because it gets crowded after that. Of course, you can book(预订) a table in advance. And you can do that online or by phone.
If you want something cheaper, you can go to Fish House. It's better than many other restaurants, and it's really great for people who like fish. It has the best service in Guangzhou. And it's easier to get a table there than at The Magic Steak. But The Magic Steak is more convenient(便利的), because it's closer to the center of the city than Fish House. In that case, if you plan to go shopping, eating in The Magic Steak is your best choice.
Funny Kitchen, a fast food restaurant, is popular with teenagers, but elder people might like other restaurants. In fact, the food there is the worst in Guangzhou.

A myth(传说) is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain. One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, we'll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it's not true! Tho truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function(功能). Modern scientists think the"10 percent myth" ridiculous(荒谬的). The other most popular myth is about being" right brained" or" left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally. It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more. We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It's also the fattest organ(器官) in your body. Here's one more interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing. |
