1. Read “Dining in the Dark” and summarize the selection below. Be sure to put the summary in your own words and to avoid using the sentence structure of the reading selection.

Here is an example summary of this reading selection:

“Dining in the dark” describes the practice by some restaurants of serving food to customers in total darkness and is an example of the “experience economy,” the trend of paying for experiences rather than tangible products. Meant to heighten a diner’s awareness of food by removing visual stimuli, the practice of dining in the dark actually lessens a diner’s experience because visual cues are necessary to allow us to perceive flavor accurately.

Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
