Since tea spread from China worldwide, it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world. Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England.
The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared.
Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess (公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 p. m., which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal.
With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’ clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her .
Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”.
Others soon picked up on the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the sitting room between four and five o’ clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion.
Today’s afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed - the meaning of afternoon tea .

3. Why did Anna ask for tea and cakes in the afternoon at first

A. Afternoon tea has spread all over the world.
B. People used to drink tea more often than now.

Ants have the ability to smell out cancerous cells (癌细胞) in humans, which has been discovered by a new study, suggesting that they could be used to find cancer in the future. Researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that some ants have a well developed sense of smell. “However more tests must be carried out before they could be used in hospitals.” the team said.
The scientists did tests with 36 ants, smelling cells in the lab. First, they let the ants smell some cancerous human cells. Every time the ants smelt cancerous cells, they were given with sugar. In the second step, the ants were put into two different smells. One was a new smell of healthy cells and the second was still the smell of the cancerous cells. Once the ants found the cancerous cells successfully, the researchers made them smell different cancerous cells. As such, the scientists found that ants could discriminate between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous cells.
This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animals’ sense of smell to find cancerous cells. “Dogs are good at finding something with their noses. However, training dogs to do so requires several months to a year. On the other hand, insects can be easily raised, they are inexpensive, and hundreds of them can be trained with fewer times,” the researchers pointed out.
“This study shows that ants are able to learn very quickly. The method can be used for other tasks including finding danger or other diseases,” the researchers added.
16. What can we know from CNRS’s study
A. Ants work well in treating cancer. B. Ants help humans keep off cancer.
C. Ants can be used to find cancer. D. Ants are used to find people with cancer.
17. Which paragraph tells how the scientists did the tests
A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.
18. What does the underlined word “discriminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Tell the stories. B. Tell the influence. C. Tell the truth. D. Tell the differences.
19. What are the advantages of insects compared with dogs in experiments
① They are cheaper. ② They are easier to be raised.
③ They are better at finding things. ④ They can be trained more quickly.
⑤ They have a sharper sense of smell.
A. ①②④ B. ①②⑤ C. ①③④ D. ②③⑤
20. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Ants’ Excellent Smell Ability. B. Ants Can Find Cancerous Cells.
C. Ants and Dogs: Who is Better D. Training Ants to Find Illnesses.

My suggestions on protecting our eyesight
My name is Li Hua. As we all know, eyes are very important. So it is necessary for us to pay attention to our eyesight, and here are some suggestions to protect our eyesight.
First, go to the hospital and check our eyes every year. On one hand, it can prevent our eyesight from being worse. On the other hand, we can know our eyes better. Second, eat more fruits and vegetables. They are good for our eyes. Third, get enough sleep. We should make sure that our eyes have a good rest. Last but not least, we must do eye exercises every day to relax our eyes.
If we follow the suggestions above and do what we can to protect our eyes, I believe we can have good eyesight.
