One morning, when I was leaving for my business, a middle-aged man came up and asked me for help. He said he had no 【1】to get food for his large family.

"You look 【2】. Why don't you work?" I asked. "Simply because I cannot get work, sir." "If I give you work, what pay will you want?" "As 【3】as I can get bread for my family, sir." he answered.

I decided to find out if he really meant what he said. "OK. I'll give you one pound an hour, if you will carry a brick（砖）under your arm and walk around the square for 【4】hours without stopping. "Thank you, sir. I will."

I found a brick and started him on his walk before I went to my business. I never thought he would do what he had promised.

When I came back five hours later, I saw him still 【5】with the brick under his arm.

I stopped him and gave him five 【6】. He thanked me and told me that some people had offered to help him when they knew why he was 【7】 all this. He would go and ask 【8】for work. Before leaving, he asked if I would give him the brick. I did.

Several years later, a well-dressed man greeted me on a train. Seeing I was not sure who he was, he 【9】that he was the brick man and had his own business now. "You know, I still keep that brick and always value it as the most important thing I have as it has 【10】me luck and success.

In fact, it was not the brick that made the man successful, but his faithfulness（坚定）in doing even a very little thing.

21、Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4 to sit and drink several cups of tea? Ask any of my German students and they will tell you “YES!” But it’s simply not sure.

We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for it. “Tea” is wildly used as a name for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Usually it is the main meal of the day, eaten between 5 and 7. So, “teatime” refers to the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening meal is often called dinner, however, dinner in the north is the midday meal. In general:

North: Breakfast—Dinner—Teatime

South: Breakfast—Lunch—Dinner

What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I’m afraid. Tea breaks are just an opportunity to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes. In this time you can drink whatever you like （which of course includes tea）. This is usually with a small snack, like biscuits. The best time for a tea break is around 11 a.m. or around 3 p.m.

But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea, cakes and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually saved for special occasions（场合）such as birthday party.
