Another tea drinking country is England．In England，the late afternoon is"teatime"．Almost everyone has a cup of tea then．The English usually make tea in 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．

2．Are you a gourmand（美食主义者）？Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world？Then do you watch the popular program？"A Bite of China（舌尖上的中国）"is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television．Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food？Here are several traditional Chinese foods：
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures，and China is no exception（例外）．The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new．After a baby is born，parents may hold a"red egg and ginger party，"where they pass out eggs to announce the birth．In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child，for example，an even number（1，3，5，---） for a girl，and an odd number（2，4，6---） if a boy has been born．
    Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture．They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries．Since noodles represent long life，it is considered very unlucky to cut it off．
    Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate，in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness．In fact，at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last，pointed toward the valued guest．Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish，yu，sounds like the word for richness or plenty，and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come．
    A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi．This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat，peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves．The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man，Qu Yuan．
    The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements（元素），such as eating habits and the quality of eating．

In China，it's rude to use your chopsticks to hit an empty bowl．And you are not supposed to point at anyone with your chopsticks．When you finish eating，place them on top of the bowl．And you should never stick your chopsticks into the food．

When in India，do as the Indians do．In India，you are expected to eat with your right hand．That's because Indians think the left hand is"dirty"．（When you shake hands with an Indian，you should also use your right hand．）

20．"To seek（追求）happiness is to look for it"was once said by the famous French author Jules Renard．Look for it？Sure …but don't spend a lifetime trying，especially if it's well within your reach but you are just too blind to see it．Discover the three keys to happiness that you have already understood，but that you are just too afraid to find it．
1．Accepting Yourself
The idea of happiness is difficult to understand if you are not at peace with yourself．Learn to accept yourself as you are．Your next step will be to improve your attitude for tomorrow，for the next day after that，and so forth．
By beginning to accept reality，you will come to the final point of true happiness．Only when you are at peace with yourself，will you finally be able to admit（承认）that you are，in fact，a happy person．
2．Forgiving Others
Forgiving others is a true show of humanity（人性）which also allows us to feel more at ease．When you learn to forgive，you also learn to keep a firm hold on your life．To forgive is to open the doors of personal satisfaction．Yet you simply open your mind to answer，"Do I really want to allow my anger to grow and eat me from outside？"
3．Helping Your Neighbors
When a friend seems to be suffering from a state of depression（沮丧），it's quite easy to help him or her out of the trouble．The best attitude to have in this situation is to make him or her understand that he or she is not alone．
If you come to save a friend in need，you'll feel a lot more at peace with yourself．You will feel high-spirited by knowing that someone is looking at life on the brighter side thanks to your kind words

19．We often praise the world of science．It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology．One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence （人工智能，AI）．This is an area where scientists are working on a creating machines that think like humans．
  However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology．"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race，"said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC．
  Hawking is a well-known British physicist and author of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time．This warning came after commenting on the technology he uses to speak with．As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS，he needs an AI computer to communicate．The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next．
  This is a basic type of AI，which is very useful，yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence．And it's easy to imagine how terrible things may be．Many TV shows and films display big killer machines that are far cleverer than us．"Humans，who are limited by slow biological evolution （进化），couldn't compete，"said Hawking．
  But not every scientist is pessimistic （悲观的）about AI technology．"I believe we will remain in charge of the technology for a long time，"said Rollo Carpenter，creator of Cleverbot in the UK，which is a software program that remembers past conversations．"The potential （潜力） of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized．"In what direction do you think AI is heading？Should we be hopeful or fearful？

B．an AI computer can learn what he suggests and help him write the book
C．AI technology will be far cleverer than humans and may be beaten by it
D．humans can compete with AI technology because we are in biological evolution
44．From the last two sentences，we can infer that the writerC．
A．agrees with Hawking
B．believes AI will take the place of Humans
C．is not sure whether AI will bring us hope      
D．thinks Rollo Carpenter is able to create a software programme
45．The best title of the passage isA．
A．Is AI Good or Bad

18．That morning I didn't have to go to school Usually，on holidays，Mother allows me to sleep in．And I would certainly make full use of it．On this particular morning，however，I felt like getting up early．
I stood by my window overlooking the parking lot，having nothing better to do．But as it turned out，I was soon to learn about something useful in life．
As I watched several people go by，get into their cars and drive off，I noticed an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its handle （把手）and a basket of mops and bottles on its back-carriage．He moved from one car to another，washing and cleaning them．From the water on the ground，it seemed that he had already finished about a dozen or more cars．
Several thoughts crossed my mind as I watched him work．He had on a pair of shorts and a simple T-shirt．The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modem cyclists would want to be seen riding on．But he seemed satisfied with his life．There he was，working hard at this small business，waving at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then with elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby．
There was a noticeable touch of pride in the way he seemed to be doing things-cleaning the windscreen，then standing back to enjoy it； wiping the wheels and again，standing back to see what they looked like after the wipe．
It was a lesson to learn，I felt ashamed of myself．Young as I am-just sixteen，I asked for more time to rest，while there was this old man who must have been busy working，perhaps before the sun rises．At no age need one beg for a pitiful living if one has good health and is willing to work hard．

17．The store was closing for the night．Young Alfred Higgins，the shop assistant，was ready to go home．Mr．Carr stared at him and said，"Hold on，Alfred．Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go．"Alfred's face got red．After a little hesitation，he took out what he had stolen．Mr．Carr said，"Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison．"
Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in，eyes burning with anger．But，to his surprise，she arrived wearing a smile．"Hello，I'm Alfred's mother．Is he in trouble？"she said．Mr．Carr was surprised，too．He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously，shaking with fear，asking with wet eyes for a pardon for her son．But no，she was calm，quiet and pleasant and was making Mr．Carr feel guilty．Soon Mr．Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying．"You are right"he said，"Sometimes，a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life，and it often takes the youth long time to get sense into their heads．"And he warmly shook Mrs．Higgins's hand．
Back home，without even looking at Alfred，the mother said，"You are a bad luck．It is one thing after another，always has been．Why do you stand there so stupidly？Go to bed．"In his bedroom，Alfred just took pride in his mother's strength．He felt he must tell her how great she was．As he got to the kitchen，he was shocked by what he saw．His mother was lifting the tea cup，her hand shook，her face became a frightened，broken one．It was no longer cool，bright as he saw earlier in the store．With her lips moving nervously，she looked so old．
Alfred watched his mother and he want to cry．He realized all the troubles he brought to his mother．It seemed that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother，especially shaking hands and the deep lines of worry in her gray face．He knew his youth coming to an end．

Plan your time carefully．When planning your week，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list，you should make a plan of your time．First，your time for eating，sleeping，dressing…Then decide a good，regular （有规律的） time for studying．Don't forget to set enough time for entertainment．A weekly plan may not work out all your problems，but it will push you to realize what is happening to your time．
Find a good place to study．Look around the house for a good study place．Keep this space which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials．No game，radio，or TV!When you sit down to study，concentrate on （专注） your subjects．
Make good use of your time．Listen to everything the teacher says．Listening carefully in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．
Study regularly．When you get home from school，go over your notes．Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class．If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read that material．This will help you understand the next class．If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you will remember it longer．
Develop a good attitude to tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．It helps you remember your new knowledge．The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don't be worried．
