Four Kid-friendly Restaurants in Phoenix

The Teapot

Drink an iced milk or bite into a chicken sandwich while keeping an eye on your kid in the two-story outdoor playhouse at the Teapot. While you relax at a shaded picnic table and have a cup of coffee, kids can play in an area stocked with toys or take an adventure to the grassy backyard.

Address: 818 N 5th Ave

Tel: 602-522-6027

Rustler’s Rooste

With a live cow at the entrance, cotton candy in a large box and an indoor swing, kids may find it hard to believe that Rustler’s Rooste is a restaurant and not a Western playground. Don’t forget to register for the Slide Riders club: For just $6, kids can eat free for a year with purchase of an entree.

Address: 8383 S 48th St

Tel: 602-431-6474

The Duce

While The Duce attracts a crowd of adults at nighttime, by day it’s a great spot for kids of all ages. Hang out on the rows of seats at a sports ground while waiting for your chance to play ping-pong or basketball. Don’t miss the milkshake shop.

Amanda Seyfried didn’t grow up with dogs. With her busy work schedule, she didn’t think she could take care of a dog. In fact, she wasn’t looking for a furry friend at all.

But then she met Finn. Today, the 34-year-old actress, who’s known for films Mamma Mia, is a dog owner and a spokeswoman at the welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society.

“I can’t imagine my life without him,” Seyfried says of 6.5-year-old Australian shepherd Finn, who is allowed on her U.S. set. If for some reason he can’t join Seyfried on location --- like on a recent trip when she traveled from France to China, Seyfried requests from her dog sitter twice — daily videos of him.

Now with a new video for Best Friends Animal Society, she calls herself Finn’s “stage mother.”

Seyfried and Finn shot an ’80s-themed video for the ＃

9000StepsChallenge, which asks animal owners to walk 9,000 steps with their pets on the ninth day of the month to raise awareness to the fact that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are euthanized (安乐死) in shelters each day because there’s not enough room.

As for the video shoot, in which Seyfried and Finn walked the 9,000 steps --- it was more exhausting than a long walk. Seyfried was Finn’s trainer on the shoot. She believes that instead of being Finn’s cp-star, she’ll go back to being BFFs.

4.Why did Seyfried originally refuse a pet dog?

A. She wasn’t not yet a spokeswoman.

B. She wasn’t used to being with a dog.

C. She was too busy to care for a dog.

D. She had not enough room for a dog.

5.Who does the underlined word “him” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Finn.

B. Seyfried.

C. The dog sitter.

D. Finn’s best friend.

The voice of an ancient Egyptian priest has been heard for the first time in more than 3,000 years, thanks to a detailed reconstruction of his vocal tract(声带) from his mummified remains.

A team of scientists in England used medical scans of the famous mummy of Nesyamun to create a digital, 3D model of the insides of the individual's throat and mouth, which were reproduced on a 3D printer. Then the researchers created an artificial larynx(喉头) with a loudspeaker using an electronic waveform. The sound was then played through the speaker into the 3D printed vocal tract to produce a short bust of Nesyamun's voice—a sound not heard since the 11th century BC.

Previous efforts to reproduce ancient voices could only approximate them, by animating facial reconstructions with software. In comparison, the sound of Nesyamun's voice is based on "an extant(现存的) vocal tract preserved over 3,000 years," the researchers wrote.

Nesyamun lived around 1100 BC. He is thought to have died in his late 50s from a severe allergic reaction. Almost 3,000 years later, his mummy was discovered at Karnak and transported to the Leeds City Museum in 1823. His remains and ornate coffin(棺材) have since become some of the world's best researched relics of ancient Egypt.

"Nesyamun's mummy was a good choice for studying the sound of an ancient voice," said David Howard, the lead author of the new research, "It was particularly suited, given its age and preservation of its soft tiss …… 此处隐藏：14832字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
