My father was a successful businessman. I had two elder brothers. One of them worked in the army(军队) and was killed during the war against Spain. The other was missing one day, and we never knew what had happened to him. My father gave me a good education and wanted me to be a lawyer（律师）.
However, I wanted to be a sailor and go to sea. My father was very angry with me. He didn't understand why I wanted to leave his house, where I would l have an easy and comfortable life.
“Two kinds of people go to sea,” he said, “They are the very poor people and the very rich people. The poor are foolish, having no other way to live. The rich own ships and can make money with them. You are neither too poor nor too rich. You are in the middle, so you should choose a middle way for your life. Stay at home with your mother and me. Your elder brother didn't listen to me, and now he is dead. If you do not listen to me, you will have a difficult life.”
I tried to do what he wanted me to do, but I couldn't. I spoke to my mother.
“Please ask Dad if he will let me have one voyage(航海) by sea.” I asked her, “When I return, I will live the life he wants me to live.”
Mum was angry. “Your father will not let you go. I don't want you to go to sea either. It’s dangerous.”
I argued with my parents for another year. Then, I went to Hull with a friend who was going to London by ship. He invited me to go with him, and I agreed. I did not even tell my parents before leaving. I just went. That was how all my bad luck began.

七、阅读表达（本大题共7分，其中69题2分，70题2分，71题3分）
Along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.
On November 29, 2022, Chinese traditional tea processing techniques (制作技艺) and their related (相关的) social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea.
More importantly, China’s tea culture has nurtured (培养) social practices. It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright. (寒夜客来茶当酒，竹炉汤沸火初红).
Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods (煮沏法), dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people could enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular—steeping (冲泡).
However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40, 000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled” tea (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times.
Through “stove-boiled” tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “it is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze (微风), and chat with best friends.”
69. When did steep tea become more popular
_____________________________________________________________________________
70. What does the writer want to tell us through Du Lei’s poem
_____________________________________________________________________________
71. Would you like to try “stove-boiled” tea Why
