Afternoon tea& high tea

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. So she would 【3】 tea, bread, butter and cakes to be served in her room.

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、Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was a physicist who developed the general theory of relativity (广义相对论). He is one of the most famous and important scientists of the 20th century.

Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Germany. His father was a salesman and engineer. He built a company to produce electrical machines. Little Einstein showed great interest in those machines made in the company. Einstein’s mother ran the family housework. Einstein had one sister, Maja, born two years after him.

Towards the end of the 1880s, Max Talmud, who sometimes had dinner with the Einstein family, became a family teacher to young Einstein. Talmud had introduced Einstein to a children’s science book. It led Einstein to his dream about the science of light.

In 1905, Einstein wrote four papers in the Annalen der Physik, one of the best-known physics newspapers at that time. Before that, at his age of 21, he had written his first famous article. Later in 1921, Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics. But because some other scientists still had questions about his ideas, he didn’t get the prize that year until the following year.

As a physicist, Einstein had many famous findings, but he is perhaps best known for E=mc², which leads to the development of atomic power and the atomic bomb (原子弹).

Einstein died on April 18, 1955, aged 76. When he was badly ill, he was taken to the hospital but he didn’t want to get an operation. He believed that he had lived his life. “I want to go when I need to,” he said at the time. “I have done my share and it is time to go.”

【1】What made Einstein interested in science?

A．Family teaching.

B．His father’s job.

C．Experiences in his father’s company.

D．A children’s science book Max Talmud introduced.

【2】Why didn’t Einstein win the Nobel Prize for his theory of relativity in 1921?

A．Nobody knew his ideas.

B．He was not famous at that time.

C．He didn’t want to take the prize at all.

D．Some scientists still didn’t fully understand his ideas.

【3】In what order did the following happen in Einstein’s life?

a. He won the Nobel Prize.

b. He didn’t want to get an operation.

c. He wrote his first famous science article.

d. He began to show interest in science of light.

 Michener was born in 1907. When he died, he was the only writer on the list of America’s top 25 philanthropists (慈善家). Michener gave US$72 million to the college he went to.

 Michener got married three times, but he had no children. For his last 15 years, he lived quietly in Austin, Texas. He moved there to write the 1,000-page novel. The film called South Pacific was inspired (使产生灵感) by his first book, Tales of the South Pacific, written when he was 40.

23、Have you ever heard of tandem? The word itself means a bicycle built with saddles (车座) for two riders who are sitting one behind the other. The same thing is, when we learn a foreign language, we can find a native speaker who wishes to learn our languages. So we both get a chance to practice. This is the tandem exchange.

For example, I’m a native English speaker but I want to learn French. So I go to a tandem meeting. There I can find a native French speaker who wants to improve his or her English. Then we become “tandem” partners. I speak English with my French tandem partner for about an hour and help him or her with some English problems. After that, we speak French for an hour, too.

The idea of this language exchange is great because we can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class. This is the main reason why we can choose the tandem exchange as a way to learn a new language.

In the tandem exchange, we can also read passages with our partner. This way we can not only practice our pronunciation but also understand the meaning of difficult words in other languages. We can then have conversations about the passages in order to practice our speaking and listening.

So I advise you to participate in the tandem exchange. If there’s no foreigner around you, online tandem exchange is also a good choice. Join in the tandem exchange and enjoy the chance of learning new languages and understanding the cultures of other countries!

【1】Which of the following is a tandem bicycle?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】What is the main reason for choosing the tandem exchange?

A．We can make more friends.

B．We can improve our pronunciation.

C．We can learn Spanish in the tandem exchange.

D．We can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class.

【3】Which language skill is NOT practiced in the tandem exchange according to the passage?

A．Speaking.

B．Writing.

C．Reading.

D．Listening.

【4】The underlined phrase “participate in” means “________”.

A．take in

B．make up

C．take part in

D．give up

【5】Where do you think this passage may come from?

A．A novel.

B．A travel guide.

D．A magazine.

24、   The American writer Sally tells young students some ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting 【1】 tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take 【2】 of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(有耐心的). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her 【3】 to help you. To make a friend, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a 【4】 with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have a good talk. 【5】 he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter.
