What do people drink in Western countries? They drink coffee, of course. Tea is the drink of us Chinese. Think again. In the West, tea is seeing to be cool again. In Western countries like the UK, coffee used to be the fashionable drink. Jenny Northam, a 28-year-old English woman, remembers that ten years ago tea was unfashionable. “At that time young people didn’t like tea. We thought drinking tea was uncool and old-fashioned. Tea was something we only drank when visiting grandparents.” Several years ago US pop icon Madonna, who lived in Britain, published a children’s book called The English Roses. She launched the book with a tea party. Since Madonna is the “Queen of Cool”, she took a big part in making tea fashionable. The British tradition of afternoon tea was fashionable again. In Britain, hotels accept bookings (预定) for afternoon tea weeks in advance. The trend (趋向) had also taken off in the US. In New York and Los Angeles, more and more cafes are serving tea. The tea craze is not only down to Madonna, of course. People drink tea because they connect it with the idea of living life at a slower pace. People drink coffee and tea at different times. Coffee is seen as the drink of people in a hurry; tea of those who like to spend their time. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，将其标号填入题前括号内。 1.Ten years ago, tea was _____________. A. in style B. fashioned C. old-fashioned D. cool 2. What’s the meaning of the phrase “pop icon” ? A. 流行偶像 B. 流行歌星 C. 流行音乐 D. 流行明星 3. The English Roses is the name of a _____________.

When you were very young, you liked to play with your friends. Did you find that playtime was always more fun when everyone shared the toys? Everyone got a turn. No one was left out. That’s a life lesson that changes as you get older. As you grow up, you begin to understand that others have less than you do － in China and in the world. And that those of us who “have” things should help those who “ have less” than we do. The idea of sharing makes a great difference. At your age, you can “share” with people in need in three ways. 1. You can give them a part of your money. Many adults do that regularly. 2. You can share items you no longer use, such as clothing and toys. You can pass them onto others who cannot buy them. 3. You can help people by giving your time and your energy. The last one is also called volunteering. Volunteering is about giving your time to take part in activities that will help others. Every year, many thousands of volunteers in the world give the most valuable gift of all. They give their time. They give their talent. They give of themselves. And they are enjoying it. Volunteering isn’t just about work. It’s about fun too. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，将其标号填入题前括号内。 1. What do children think was more fun when they played with friends? A. They could have more toys than other children. B. Every child could have a toy and they played together. C. Some children were left out with no toys. D. They had more friends to play with. 2.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. We should help with each other. B. Chinese people have more than the others in the world. C. The older we grow, the richer we will become. D. Only those who have more should help those who have less. 3. What does volunteering mean according to the passage? A. Give people money. B. Share items one no longer uses. C. Help people by giving one’s time and energy. D. People give themselves to others. 4.What does “makes a great difference” mean in the passage? A. Work very hard. B. Be different. C. Play an important role. D. Have nothing to do with. 5. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Work hard to have more than others. B. Be a volunteer. C.
