While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers, a restaurant owner in the U.S. is taking it to a whole new level.

That is why he included \they don't, he'll probably hug them anyway.

The restaurant has been around since 2010, and Tim has given out over 19,000 hugs in the past five years--he keeps count using a special Hug Counter. Many customers love visiting \Place\love local restaurants, and this special one has a story that stays with you. \35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.

Changes in My Hometown

When I returned to my hometown last month, I found it changed a lot.

My hometown used to be a quiet small town. There were green hills and clean water. The air was fresh. People went around by bike or on foot. But now it has become a modern town. There are many tall buildings and you can see wide roads everywhere. Many buses drive past our community every day. And many people have bought their own cars, so it’s easy to travel around. However, the changes of my hometown have also brought us a lot of trouble. For example, the water is not as clean as before. I think we should work together to make our environment much better.
