Afternoon tea is a 【1】 food tradition of sitting down for an afternoon treat of tea, sandwiches, scones and cake.
Afternoon tea is served around 4 p.m. In the early 19th century, when dinner was served as 【2】 as 8 p.m., Anna, the Duchess of Bedford often felt really hungry around 4 p.m. between lunch and dinner.

The word “high” to the phrase “high tea” is believed to differentiate between the afternoon tea that is traditionally served on 【8】, comfortable, parlor chairs or relaxing in the garden and the worker’s after-work high tea that is served at the table and seated on high back dining chairs.

21、Traveling is one of the best ways to explore (探索) the great unknown. Here we list four famous travelers in history. Their travel stories have encouraged generations (一代人) of travelers and will continue to do so.
Li Bai (701-762)
Li Bai was a well-known Chinese poet in the Tang dynasty. He led a wandering lifestyle and was a great traveler. Of the over 1,000 poems he left, nearly half are related to travel. Li Bai was even considered as one of the early travel writers in China and his contributions (贡献) are of great value to China’s tourism culture.
Marco Polo (1254-1324)
The famous Italian explorer started his adventure when he was 17 and traveled through Asia along the Silk Road. Luckily, he was a talented writer too, and his travel experiences were vividly recorded in the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, which provided Europeans with great understanding about the society and culture of the Eastern world.
Ibn Battuta (1304-1368)
Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan (摩洛哥的) scholar and explorer who traveled widely in Afro-Eurasia for over 30 years. Ibn Battuta was the first to introduce China, especially the Great Wall, to the Western and Arab worlds. He detailed his journeys in a book called The Rihla, which has guided many historians and travelers.
Xu Xiake (1587-1641)
Xu Xiake was a Chinese geologist and travel writer in the Ming dynasty. He traveled throughout China for more than 30 years. The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake, collected and edited (编辑) by later generations, has proven to be of great scientific and literary value. To remember him, the day he started his journey, May 19, has been set as China Tourism Day.

22、What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.
When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. It has many advantages. We could fly at 480km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be an air traffic jam. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become true.
Three-dimensional(3D) printing is another new technology. 3D printers are used to build an object. They build the object until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we shop, the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that it will be very expensive.
So, in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.
