Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average (平均) person in the UK consumes (消费) around 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. But tea is not native to Britain. Most tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.
At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first, people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic (特色).
In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time, they began to have “afternoon tea”. This involves (包含) drinking tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today.
In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and socializing in these places. At the start of the 20th century, Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it.
1.How many cups of tea does average person drink each year in the UK?
2.What should be mixed with tea to make it a special British characteristic?
3.Why do British people have afternoon tea?
4.Could most people in Britain afford tea in the late 1800s?

France is well known for its fine art, tasty food and romantic scenery(风景). About 75 million visitors come here every year.
France is the largest country in Western Europe. It has a population of over 66 million. The country is home to many famous places of interest, like the River Seine as well as the Eiffel Tower.
Many visitors also come for the country’s art. Sculptor(雕刻家)Auguste Rodin and painter Claude Monet once created their great works here. If you visit France today, it is not a surprise to meet street artists in the city or come across a singer in the subway.
No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre, one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Inside, there are 35,000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue(雕塑)David by Michelangelo. It would take nine months to enjoy all the pieces.
Besides, French food is world famous. Bread is very important in France. The best known French bread is called a baguette(法棍面包). They are long, delicious and taste salty. Snails (蜗牛)are also a must-have here. French people eat 40,000 tons of snails every year!

The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, ‘It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.’ Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, ‘She isn’t exactly friendly.’ Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
1.Is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
2.What does ‘understatement’ mean?
3.What do the British love to watch comedies about?
4.How does Mr Bean make people laugh?

We should learn to understand our mother well. Here are the best ways towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising, but they have worked for many people. Try them.
Remember your mother's age
As children, we often forget our mother's age. Knowing our mother's age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological (心理的))and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.
Listen to your mother
I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful.If you respect her point of view, it will help your mother feel close to you.
Ask your mother about your childhood(童年的)history
If you are lucky enough to have a living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle(拼图游 戏)and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your childhood history can help you know more clearly who you are,as part of a family which you share with your mother.
Trying to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves. We should follow the way of her life. When we are able to accept our mother—with all her failings, we can understand her better and it can also help us to know about our shortcomings. Remember that understanding our mother is really about understanding ourselves.
1.Should we learn to understand our mother well?
2.What do children often forget about their mother?

We parents like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients(营养)they need. Children need two or three kinds of vegetables every day.
A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our habit, they may start eating vegetables. Don’t say things like, “If you eat your vegetables, you can have desserts(餐后甜食).” These methods work for a while but can possibly lead them to disliking vegetables more. Giving your children new varieties(多样性) which will help her or him develop a taste for trying new things.
Sometimes the simple things just don’t work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to make our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small, it will hopefully help them learn to love vegetables.
Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and assemble (集合) a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping(浸)vegetables or by putting the cheese right on top of the uncooked vegetables.
If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldn’t lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.
If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions I’ve listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you’re not just getting them to eat vegetables; you are helping them to live a healthier lifestyle.
1.How many kinds of vegetables does a child need every day?
2.What is a simple way to let the children eat vegetables?
3.What’s the advantage of thinking of creative ways when it comes to make children eat vegetables?
4.Which will children usually prefer, vegetables or desserts?
5.What is this article mainly talking about?

Have you heard the expression “You are what you eat”? Well, do you like who you are? If not, break some bad eating habits and feel better about yourself.
Bad habit 1:
Many people often eat packaged ( = in small bags) foods at their work places, such as frozen dumplings, rice rolls and instant noodles (方便面), which have lots of fat and calories (热量).
The solution (解答): Read the instructions to find the healthiest foods that are low in salt and high in fiber (纤维). Also check to make sure they have ingredients (混合物) such as vegetables and grains (粮食). When possible, use packaged foods as part of a “home-cooked” meal. For example, frozen dumplings with fresh vegetables are better than dumplings alone.
Bad habit 2:
People without breakfast don’t have enough energy they need to get through the morning. Eating breakfast improves your attention, memory and feelings.
The solution: Always keep a kind of quick foods like yogurt (酸奶). Or have a standing order at a breakfast place.
Bad habit 3:
It takes your body at least 20 minutes to “tell” your brain that you are full, so fast eaters usually eat more than people who eat slowly.
The solution: Try to slow down. Try eating at least some of your meals without TV, hand phones or computers. Use a plate or bowl when you eat.
Bad habit 4:
Healthy snacks (小吃) between meals are fine. But when you snack instead of having real meals, you will not eat your meals regularly. And snack foods such as chips and sweets aren’t very healthy. That makes it easy to overeat.
The solution: To get more energy, allow yourself two healthy snacks a day. Choose snacks that will make you feel full. Try fruit, yogurt or nuts.
As we all know, bad habits can be broken. Take the first step toward a healthier eating habit — start following these tips today!
1.Is the passage about eating habits?
2.What are the healthiest packaged foods?
3.How long does it take your body to tell your brain that you are full?
4.How can you eat snacks healthily?
5.What are the bad eating habits mentioned in the passage?

Green is the Way to Go
Today, communities(社区)around the US are going green. For some, that means paying attention to the environment by recycling or controlling pollution. But others are turning their neighborhoods green by planting community gardens.
Green Brings Benefits
A growing number of government and community leaders point out that gardening is a great way to improve the appearance of a neighborhood. It also unites neighborhood residents(居民). Research at Texas A&M University and the University of Illinois shows that city areas with more green have less crime.
One Neighborhood's Story
Norris Square in Philadelphia is a neighborhood that has benefits from a community garden. In the 1980s, Norris Square was known for its run-down buildings and vacant parking lots filled with rubbish. Then a group of Puerto Rican women planted vegetables and flowers in one vacant lot. Soon there was also an outdoor kitchen and colorful murals showing rural life in Puerto Rico.
The community garden became a place of beauty and a source of fresh food for Norris Square residents. It also became a source of neighborhood pride. Soon people were working together to do home repairs, clean up other vacant lots, remove graffiti, and plant more trees and flowers throughout the neighborhood.
Today, instead of fights in the park, there are festivals. Instead of abandoned cars along the streets, there are trees. People can now enjoy a neighborhood that is cleaner, safer, and more beautiful.
Plant Your Own Seeds
If you want to start a community garden in your area, you can get information from the Community Gardening Association at www. communitygarden. org.
1.How are other people turning their neighborhoods green?
2.What benefits does green bring?
3.When was Norris Square known for its run-down building?
4.What is Norris Square like now?
5.Where can you get information if you want to start a community garden in your area?
