Is it fair for restaurants to ban(禁止) little eaters? In Monronroeville, a local restaurant, McDain’s, recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman, its manager, says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people, however, say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public, we caught several local people talking about it.
YES
There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers.
-----Kate Barker
Kids always cause a mess, but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids’ behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe, they aren’t at the center of everyone else’s.
------Mike Vuick
Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise.
------Dale Levitsky

NO
Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there.
--------Nicholas Song
Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. And that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, all kids are people, too.
-------Elliott Hall

The village of Hengly was going to have the Bean Olympics. It was a competition to see which kind of bean would grow the fastest and tallest. Everybody was excited. They couldn’t wait to show their best plants.
Cassie knew clearly which bean she would choose for the competition, for her family had planted a special “family bean.”It was a flat bean that her great grandparents had brought from Sicily. Her grandmother planted the beans every year and served them at many meals. Cassie was sure they would be unbeatable beans.
However, the plan did not work out that way. Although Cassie’s bean plants looked healthy with beautiful purple flowers, they did not grow as fast or climb as high as any of her neighbors’. These people chose beans from seed(种子)stores. Their beans had wonderful names like “Rocket” or “Top Crop.”One type was even named “King’s Bean.”That was the bean Ivan planted, and his plants climbed almost to the top of the fence. Cassie’s plants were just near the middle of the fence.
On the day of the competition, Cassie was disappointed that her beans were in last place. Ivan laughed at her beans and said she could win a prize for the slowest, shortest beans.
The organizer, Mr. Williams, handed out medals for the fastest-growing and the tallest beans plants.“Now there remains only one final test, and it is just as important: the taste test.”
Mr. Williams cooked the beans from each competitor and chose five experienced villagers as judges(裁判).
Cassie was nervous. Would her family beans lose another time?
After the judges tasted the beans, Mr. Williams counted the results.“We have a winner,”Mr. Williams announced.“The judges all agree that Cassie’s beans are the winner.”
Cassie grinned at this unexpected result. Many of her neighbors, even Ivan asked for her seeds. They were all in favor of the good-tasting beans even though they didn’t grow fast or very tall.

When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.
A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置),such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet.
More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you
