24、When tea was first brought to England between 1652 and 1654, it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it. It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it should be used. Finally they boiled(煮沸) the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon(咸肉) for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale（麦芽酒）as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.

Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals—breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, big meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788—1861) experienced a ‘sinking feeling’  in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an extra afternoon meal at five o’clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking the fields”.

The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common form of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine china from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second bottle (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small fire. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.

【4】We can know from the passage that afternoon tea ____________.

A. helps raise the price of tea and china in England

25、Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, it may take away our appetite(食欲).It is important for us to eat out meal at regular time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago in England, some judges(法官）often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow(吞咽）the bread, it meant that he was not telling the truth. Though this seems strange and foolish, they thought it was an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing dry bread because he loses his appetite.

26、   Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we haven't found life on other plants yet. Why not?

The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and living things cannot grow. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy（星系）.

But scientists have discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. It is hard to understand how large the universe is.

So far, scientists have sent lots of spaceships to look at other plants in our solar system, and some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one has discovered any life in space yet.

But why has no one from other plants sent us a message? Have they tried to send information to us? With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? We don't know yet.

The Good Son

Once there was a jeweller, who was known as a good man. People always bought jewelries from him.

One day, a rich man and his wife came to buy some diamonds (钻石) which would be put on a special dress for their mother. She would wear it for her eightieth-birthday party.

The couple told the jeweller what they wanted, and offered him an honest price. He replied that he could not let them see the jewels at that moment, and asked them to come back later. However, they wanted the diamonds without delay (耽搁). They also thought that the jeweller might be trying to get more money for the diamonds. So they offered him double, then three times, what the diamonds were worth. But he still refused to give them the diamonds. They went away, very angry.

Some hours after, the jeweller went to them and gave them the diamonds. They offered him the last price for the diamonds, which was three times what the diamonds were worth. But the jeweller said, “I will only accept the first price that you offered this morning.”

“Why, then, did you not sell us the diamonds right away?” they asked in surprise. He replied, “My father had the key to the box where the diamonds were kept. He was asleep, and I did not want to wake him. He is old and every hour of sleep does him good. For all the gold in the world, I would not disrespect my father or cause him discomfort.” The couple were deeply moved by the man’s words, so the husband said to him,

“You are so kind! Thanks for the lesson you taught us — honour your father and your mother. One day your own children will give you the same respect and love that you have shown.”
