    Please sit down and enjoy your meal. Just don't talk about it.

    These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners". It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices. Instead, the idea is to just on the food.

    "Silent dinner parties are fast growing," said Honi Ryan, who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries, including Germany, Australia andthe United States. "The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it."

    According to a 2013 nation wide survey, restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer（顾客） complaints. And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out.

    Though silent dinners may seem curious, the idea is not a new one. Yogis（瑜伽信徒） have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice. In fact, it was a trip to a temple（寺庙） in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming.

    "We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour," said EAT Green point owner Jordan Colon. And background music will be turned off, too.

    "It's funny; when I first opened EAT, I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions（反映） to that," said Colon. "Some people who come out to eat are ready to party, but it was so quiet without music. But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed."

    Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various, in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards, said Ryan. "At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence. But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh."

    I grew up poor. We had little money, butplenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.

    By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction（信念）.

    One summer a friend recommended me for asummer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates withgirls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.

    Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. I was dreading（害怕）this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”

    When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as madas I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them,” he said.

   I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.

  “How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.

  “Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.

  “Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”

    That question laidbare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having agoal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and boughtmy mother the house of my dream.
