Sometimes the gimmick is the restaurant’s l___49___. El Diablo is a Spanish restaurant on a volcano (火山). The cooks use heat from the volcano to cook the food. Or how about an underwater restaurant Or you can go to the other extreme and choose Dinner in the Sky. Here, customers enjoy their meal at a table 50 metres in the air. The company has restaurants in 45 different countries. It’s an amazing experience, but don’t d___50___ your knife or fork! The people below will be in danger. At Ithaa, a restaurant in the Maldives, you can have dinner five metres below the Indian Ocean and watch sharks and turtles while you eat.
People often complain about the seats in planes. There isn’t enough space. They don’t sit c___51___. So surely a restaurant inside a plane is a bad idea. Well maybe not.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）（6分）
On October 21st, 2024, a robot dog carrying a heavy load (重物) climbed up Mount Taishan while reminding tourists to protect the mountain’s environment, attracting many visitors.
Robots are moving from labs and exhibitions to daily life. At Zhejiang University, two robot dogs were used to carry students’ bags, going quickly through crowds and climbing stairs in the autumn of 2023.
The robot dogs were named the X30 robots. They are about one meter long, 50 centimeters tall when standing, and weigh about 56 kilograms. They have been widely used in many areas. They can work in freezing weather conditions. They can also work in dim (昏暗的) light, bright light, or complete darkness, with a range (范围) of 10 kilometers.
In recent years, the rapid growth of China’s robotics industry (工业；产业) has led to the use of robots across different areas, including education, cleaning services and health care, especially the humanoid robots (人形机器人), which are increasingly used in many industries, such as cars, computers and communications. In the car factories, humanoid robots perform tasks once carried out only by humans.
There is also a kind of robot designed like a housekeeper to look after the elderly at all times. Besides helping with medicine and meals, the robot can also make video calls with the old people’s relatives. Future robots are expected to chat well, listen carefully, and share their joy and sadness with people.
With the development of science and technology, robot products will be deeply used in the real economy (实体经济) in China by 2027. The robot industry will without doubt have a bright future.
