Later，restaurant began to open in China．In the early 1100s，more than one million people lived in the city of Hangzhou，China．It was a very busy city，and people had money．All of these people had to eat．Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the Imperial Way，a very big street in the city．Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome，people in China could choose food from a menu．They didn't have to eat the same food as everyone else．
For the next several centuries，there were restaurants all over the world．People could buy food on the street or at inns﹣﹣small hotels．Then in the middle of the 1700s，restaurants started opening in Paris．These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today．There was a bigger variety of food，and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience．In the 19th century，trains made travel much faster and simpler．In the end，this kind of restaurant began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world．

Moms take care of their children and dads bring home food and make the family rules. These are the roles moms and dads fall into when they become parents and it's common among all cultures. But times change and parents' roles seem to be changing，too. More women are bringing home food by having fulltime jobs and men are taking care of their children at home.
Chinese TV show Where Are We Going，Dad？provides a closer look at the changing roles of dads in modern family life. The show follows the adventures (冒险经历) of five celebrity (明星) dads who take trips with their young children (aged 4 to 6) and try to complete a set of tasks. It shows how young dads are trying hard to find the best way to raise（养育）their children and keep a closer relationship with them. Young dads no longer want to be cold.
Psychologists (心理学家) say that a strong fatherly influence is important in a child's development. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety. A child learns that if something goes wrong，he or she can depend on dad to help fix it. The psychologists also say that without a dad，a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.
A mother's love is important，and so is a father's love. Chen Mo，a psychology professor says，“It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents.”What are the common roles of moms and dads in all cultures？
