Blind Dates at Alchemy in the Dark

Soup on my nose，a nearly spilt glass of wine and chocolate down my white blouse，as blind dates suggest，this was a really messy one.I had never made so much noise with plates and glasses，nor had I dined with a never－before－met companion.This blind date was quite different: we could see nothing.“Put your left hand on my shoulder，and then we'll take small steps forward，” said Michael，the visually impaired waiter，in an East London accent.We three felt our way carefully bumping past heavy curtains before being arranged at the dining table，where we would eat and drink three completely secret and unseen courses.

Welcome to Alchemy in the Dark，Hong Kong's first restaurant in total darkness.Upon arrival，diners briefly tell the chef about their allergies(过敏性反应)，lock away their mobile phones and enter the windowless restaurant，which can seat 25 customers.When the meal is over，the contents of the delicious menu are shown — often to the diners' surprise.“This is definitely duck，” my companion said，while eating chicken.“This soup，” I declared，“is carrot and coriander.” Even the too－close smell did not reveal the real tomato and cumin flavors.Dining in the dark changes everything: the sense of smell is heightened，manners go out of the window — using your hands to feel around the plates becomes normal — and there is a strange thrill in being able to ignore your facial expressions.Best of all？You don't have to spend hours beforehand wondering what to wear.

Alchemy in the Dark is at 16 Arbuthnot Road，Central，tel: 6821 2801 and is open Monday to Saturday，from 7 pm to 11 pm.Reservations are required.A three－course meal with wine pairing costs HK$700 per person.5% of all profits go to The Hong Kong Society for the Blind.

2．【答案】 be made 考查情态动词和被动语态。be made of表示“由……制成”，根据设空前的的情态动词might可知，此处填be made。 3．【答案】 to create 考查不定式。此处不定式作目的状语。 4．【答案】 using 考查现在分词。现在分词在此处作伴随状语。 5．【答案】 as/when 考查连词。根据语境可知，此处用连词as/when引导时间状语从句。
