9.1.Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4 p.m.to sit and drink several cups of tea?Ask any of my German students and they will tell you"YES!"
I'm sorry to disappoint,but it's simply not true.We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain,but there is no special time for the nation's favorite drink.British people will drink tea all day whether morning,noon or night (my mother makes her first cup at 6 a.m.).There are reasons for the confusion surrounding"teatime",however.
"Tea"is widely used as a name for the evening meal.This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country.Usually it is the main meal of the day,eaten between 5 p.m.a(chǎn)nd 7 p.m.So,"teatime"refers to the meal and not the drink.In the south,the evening meal is often called dinner,while dinner in the north is the midday meal.Confused?Many heated debates can happen between southerners and northerners about the right name.
What about tea breaks?Surely this must be a special time for tea?Wrong again,I'm afraid.Tea breaks are simply an opportunity to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes.During this time you can drink whatever you like.Also a small snack,like biscuits,is usually eaten.The best time for a tea break is mid-morning around 11 a.m.or mid-afternoon around 3 p.m.
But what about tea rooms?Can I drink tea there?Yes!A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea,cakes,and sandwiches.This is known as afternoon tea and is usually served during special activities such as a birthday or engagement (訂婚) party.Tea rooms are also very popular with tourists and are definitely worth a visit.
Teatime,tea breaks,afternoon tea…h(huán)ow could you possibly get muddled up (混淆)?
 
1.What does"tea"mean in Scotland and the north of England?(不多于3個單詞)The meal./The evening meal. 
2.What is the aim of tea breaks?(不多于4個單詞)To have a rest./To rest.
3.What special activities can be held in tea rooms?(不多于5個單詞)A birthday or engagement party./Birthday or engagement parties. 
4.Why does the writer write this passage?(不多于7個單詞)To clear up some misunderstandings./To explain teatime and some related terms..

3.A sense of humor is something highly valued.A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident.However,humor is a double-edged sword.Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others.
People who use bonding humor tell jokes and generally lighten the mood.They're thought to be good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations.They often make fun of their common experiences,and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes.The basic message they deliver is:We're all alike,we find the same things funny,and we're all in this together.
Put-down humor,on the other hand,is an aggressive type of humor used to criticize others through teasing.When it's aimed against politicians,as it often is,it's extremely funny and mostly harmless.But in the real world,it may have a harmful effect.An example of such humor is telling friends an embarrassing story about another friend.When challenged about their teasing,the put-down jokers might claim that they are"just kidding,"thus allowing themselves to avoid responsibility.This type of humor,though considered by some people to be socially acceptable,may hurt the feelings of the one being teased and thus have a bad effect on personal relationships.
Finally,in hate-me humor,the joker is the target of the joke for the amusement of others.This type of humor was used by comedians John Belushi and Chris Farley-both of whom suffered for their success in show business.A small amount of such humor is charming,but routinely offering oneself up to be embarrassed destroys one's self-esteem,and fosters depression and anxiety.
So it seems that being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being.In certain cases,it may actually have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships.

21.In bonding humor,people create a relaxing atmosphere byA.
A.joking about experiences they share
B.showing their personal relationships
C.teasing experiences of their friends
D.laughing at other's misfortunes
22.Which of the following is among the common targets of put-down humor?C
A.Comedians.B.Jokers.C.Politicians.D.Actors.
23.In the passage,the author mainly conveysB.
A.humor can be classified into three kinds
B.humor has its bright side and dark side
C.humor deserves to be studied
D.humor is highly valued.

8.Controlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy:Just eat breakfast.The editors of Eat This,Not That!carried out researches to determine some best breakfast food for weight loss.
Black Beans
Protein,per 1/2cup:7g
Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down.Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that with black beans consumed daily,study participants'fat reduced by 4percent over two years.
Peanut Butter
Protein,per 2tbsp:7-8g
While processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils,the real stuff is made with just two ingredients:salt and peanuts.The peanut is filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in an AM smoothie.
Almond Butter
Protein,per 2tbsp:7-8g
"Almond butter is high in protein,fiber and monounsaturated fats,"says Martha McKittrick,RDN,CDE."Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them,likely because it helps you feel fuller."To get the benefits at breakfast,McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast.
Eggs
Protein,per two large eggs:13g
"Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fat-burning choline(膽堿),"says McKittrick.Choline,also found in lean meats,seafood and collard greens,attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver,according to Zero Belly Cookbook.The more eggs you eat,the less egg-shaped you get.

21.Which two foods contain the same amount of protein?D
A.Black beans and eggs
