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 drink that you picked from a menu In fact， there were no menus anywhere There were eating places travellers 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（湯） 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（恢復(fù)）your health in French the word restore is restaurer so he called the soups restaurants Soon， people started buying Boulangers soups even when they were not ill And over time， people began to use the word restaurant to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself More restaurants opened in France， and people began to buy soups more often Later， restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup In the 1790s， menus started to appear By the mid1800s， there were many types of restaurants throughout the world The United

According to BBC News， there are more than 22， 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes （望遠(yuǎn)鏡） There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we cant see Objects， like bits of old space rockets or satellites， move around the planet at very high speeds，so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship， it could damage the vehicle To make things worse， when two objects in space crash， they break into many smaller pieces For example， when a US satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009， it broke into more than 2，000 pieces， increasing the amount of space junk To reduce additional space junk， countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earths atmosphere after that time In the upper parts of the atmosphere， it will burn up Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earths atmosphere to burn up The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed The problem is becoming more challenging because were sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers， says Marco Castronuovo， an Italian space
