All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in tea houses. They prefer their tea plain(原味), with nothing else in it.

Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.

In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea—“iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.

A 400-pound adult male gorilla (大猩猩) escaped from his cage at the Buffalo Zoo on Monday. He bit a female zookeeper before being caught. The 24-year-old gorilla came out of his living quarters through an unlocked door on Monday morning. He ran into the space which was used by zoo workers but closed to the public.

A keeper who has cared for Koga since he arrived in 2007 was bitten on her hand and leg. Zoo officials said it was an act of excitement. “He was probably just as surprised coming face to face with her as she was with him,” Buffalo Zoo President Donna Fernandes said.

The keeper took refuge (庇護(hù)) inside the habitat of a female gorilla and her newborn baby. The keeper’s decision to lock herself inside the separate habitat likely kept her from being further harmed. The keeper had a good relationship with the mother who, like Koga, is a west lowland gorilla, native to West Africa and the Congo River Basin, according to Fernandes.

Several locked doors prevented Koga from running wildly through the zoo and beyond. The police sent in a team to make sure the area was safe while a vet (獸醫(yī)) used a pipe to sedate (給……服鎮(zhèn)靜劑) Koga. The gorilla was dragged by the zoo staff back to his cage once the drugs took hold.

Visitors to the zoo were moved indoors and stayed there for about 45 minutes while the team was trying to catch the gorilla and send it back to his cage. “That was the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my career,” said the team’s captain Mark Maraschiello. “It’s a 400-pound gorilla. Nobody knew what harm he could do to us. He could have bitten my arm off easily,” Maraschiello added.

1.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. A zoo keeper was injured while working at the zoo.

B. A zoo keeper forgot to lock the door of a gorilla’s cage.

C. A 400-pound gorilla ran wildly in the zoo after breaking his cage.

D. A 400-pound gorilla bit a zoo keeper after escaping from his cage.

2.According to Donna Fernandes, the gorilla bit the zoo keeper because .

A. he was too angry to see the zoo keeper

B. he was too excited to see the zoo keeper

C. he didn’t want to be sent back to the cage

D. he wanted to find some delicious food

3.What did the zoo keeper do after being bitten by the gorilla?

A. She asked another gorilla to protect her.

B. She tried her best to comfort him.

C. She locked herself in a cage of another gorilla.

D. She called the police and asked them to rescue her.

4.According to the last paragraph, how did Mark Maraschiello feel when he was trying to catch the gorilla?

A. Excited. B. Calm.

C. Angry. D. Frightened.

American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the eastern part of their range(地理分布區(qū)), most of these bears have shiny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red or even yellow coats. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white. Even in the same litter(窩), both brown and black furred bears may be born.

However, if cornered, me black bear can become a fearful enemy.

Black bears feed on leaves, roots, fruit, insects, fish and even larger animals. One of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike many other animals, bears do not actually hibernate(冬眠). Although the bear does not eat during the winter months, its temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.

Most black bears live alone, except during the mating season (交配李節(jié)). A litter of one to four cubs is born in January or February and they remain with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old.

Can feeling of nostalgia(懷舊) be good for you? Or is it unhealthy to have a strong love for the past?

For years, medical experts have studied nostalgia and the reasons for it. Many experts warn that too much nostalgia is harmful. They say living in the past shows that a person is unhappy with his present life. These feelings keep the person from living his life to its fullest.

However, experts say it is normal to love the past sometimes. In fact, a little nostalgia can enrich a person’s life.

Dr. Louise Kaplan has written several books about nostalgia. She says these feelings often begin when a young person is between 13 and 19 years old.

“This is the time when you must face the loss of your childhood, “Kaplan says. “You see your new life is easily destroyed. But you think romantically about a golden past. You remember your childhood as a time when life is perfect.”

These feelings continue as the person gets older, Kaplan adds. She says many grown persons have a hard time keeping up with changes in the modem world, so they think back to their younger years. At that time the world seemed simple and more harmless.

Kaplan says these feelings do not always actually exist. The good old days did not always exist. The good old days weren’t always good. However, she says nostalgia can be helpful, if used properly.

“Feelings of nostalgia can cause you to remember a time when you had high hopes and dreams, “Kaplan says. “It might give you the strong wish to catch those dreams today in your past life.”She adds that nostalgia can prevent you from “cutting yourself off from your aim”.

1.Feeling of nostalgia ______.

A.might cause you to try to realize the golden dream in the present life

B.fill one with hopes for the future

C.bring about a love for the past and a hope for the future

D.can cause you to think of your past which was full of hopes and dreams

2.The reason for grown persons to think back to their past is that ______.

A.time is hard, so they cannot keep up with changes

B.many grown persons have little time keeping up with changes in the modern world

C.they can hardly keep up with changes in today’s world

D.they lived in the past, of which they are always proud

3.Which of the following is not talked about in the passage?

A.Only women have feelings of nostalgia

B.Too much nostalgia is harmful

C.Nostalgia shows that a person is not satisfied with his present life

D.A little nostalgia can make a person’s life more colorful

4.We may also use this sentence as the topic of the article: _______.

A.Nostalgia, Good or Bad

B.Thoughts on Nostalgia

C.The Reasons for Nostalgia

D.Why Do They Think Back to the Past
