Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it
might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few
centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided
the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drinks
第 5 页 共 10 页
that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were eating places travelers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was
full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The
rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called
a “restaurant”.
A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold
soups. On his sign he used the word “restaurant” to describe what he was selling. At that time,
soups were considered something that could help “restore” (恢复) your health — in French,
the word “restore” is “restaurer” — so he called the soups “restaurants”. Soon, people started
buying Boulanger’s soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use
the word “restaurant” to refer to a place selling soups rather than the soups themselves. More
“restaurants” opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.
Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soups. In the 1790s, menus
started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the
world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China.
Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the
restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.
Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from
which to choose.
34. According to Para. 1, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places
A. Restaurants only served food. B. Restaurants were more expensive.
C. Restaurants were mainly in cities. D. Restaurants had a list of meal choices.
35. When did restaurants begin to grow internationally
A. In the 1600s. B. In the 1700s. C. In the 1800s. D. In the 1900s.
36. When it was first used, what did the word “restaurant” refer to
A. A person. B. A place. C. Soup. D. Illness.
37. What is the passage mainly about
A. How restaurants developed. B. What made a good restaurant.
C. Who created the first restaurant. D. Why restaurants became popular.
