After tea became popular about 150 years ago, when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for a cup of afternoon tea. Usually taken in the late afternoon, it is also called “low tea” as it is served at a low table. Since this isn’t a meal, but rather like a late afternoon snack, finger foods such as sandwiches, scones and pastries are common. People are taking tea not only to get what their bodies need or satisfy hunger, but to take time to relax, chat and enjoy the company of dear friends. In England, the traditional time for tea is four or five o’clock in the afternoon and no one stays after seven o’clock.
This very British tradition is said to have been started around 1840 by Duchess Anna Maria, wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford, England. During the long time between an early lunch and a very late dinner, she experienced what she called “a sinking feeling” at about 4 or 5 in the afternoon. So she asked her serving girl to bring her a pot of tea, a little bread and butter and cake in her room. She found this arrangement( 安排）pleasing that she began asking her friends to join her.
High tea, a term often mixed with afternoon tea, usually takes the place of supper. In the past the British working population did not have afternoon tea. They had meals at about noon and after work between five and seven o’clock. The table would be set with dinner foods like meat, bread, butter, potatoes, cheese and of course tea. It was called “high tea” because it was eaten at a high dining table rather than a low tea table.
How much do people enjoy the afternoon tea moment? As a famous writer named Henry James said, “There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to （献给）the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”
24.Who started the tradition of afternoon tea?
A. Duchess Anna Maria. B. The 7th Duke of Bedford.
C. Henry James. D. Some unknown working people.
25. What does the underlined phrase ” a sinking feeling” refer to?
A. A feeling of being bored. B. A feeling of hunger.
C. A feeling of missing friends. D. A feeling of shyness.
26. What does high tea take the place of?
A.meal B.breakfast C.lunch D.dinner
27. Why does the author mention Henry James’ words?
A. To tell us how the name “afternoon tea” came out.
B. To tell us that afternoon tea is in fact a ceremony.
C. To show how popular afternoon tea is among people.
D. To show the difference between afternoon tea and high tea.

Matt was kind of short and skinny and he was a very kind kid. But Matt was always bullied(恐吓）by a big kid named Woody. He never complained to anyone about Woody, but deep inside, he knew that one day he’d stand up to him and get him back for all the things he did to him.
One day, Matt was relaxing and reading a book in the backyard, when he noticed that his dog Marty was digging under one of the trees in the backyard. At last, Marty found a tiny wooden box, and then Matt opened it. He was surprised to find a little, funny-looking hat in it. Matt put the hat on his head and ran to the house to show it to his mom. To his surprise, his mom didn’t notice him and hear what he said. Matt realized that the hat was some kind of a magic hat.
Then Matt decided to get back to his school to bully Woody. He walked into the school building and put the hat on his head. Soon after he saw Woody, he ran towards him and stuck his foot in front of him, and tripped（使跌倒） him. Woody jumped up, looked around to see what he tripped on, but found nothing close to him. Then Matt pulled Woody’s bag off and threw it on the floor. At this point, Woody started to feel frightened, because he didn’t know what was going on, but he knew that something was wrong. At last, Matt took the hat off, and came back to comfort Woody and told Woody the secret. After Woody tried the hat on, he realized that Matt was telling the truth. Woody said, “would you be my friend, and lend it to me?” Matt said, “I will lend it to you, but you have to promise not to play with anybody, and be a good boy from now on!” woody agreed, and Matt lent him the hat that day, and they became best friends.

In most situations,light helps us see.But when it comes to looking at the night sky,light is actually a kind of pollution.It prevents our view of some of life’s most striking sights:stars,planets,and even galaxies(银河系).
“When I was a little boy,I loved the night sky.I remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars.I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty,”says Robert Gent,“Now in most big cities kids can’t see the stars like I did.”
Normally,about 2,500 individual(单个的)stars are visible to the human eyes without using any special equipment.But because of light pollution,you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities.Only one in three Americans can see our own galaxy with the naked eyes.And those people live far away from the lights of big cities,office buildings,and shopping malls.
Fortunately,there’s an inexpensive and useful way.If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky,and use lower brightness levels,we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night sky.Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night,making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution.
Light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife.Migrating birds(候鸟)sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness,flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion.Sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and won’t approach bright lights.Too much light at night may even affect human health.For all these reasons,researchers are working on ways to use lights only when and where they are truly needed.Everyone deserves to look up at the sky.
32.According to the text,using our naked eyes, .
A.people in remote areas can see more stars than those in big cities
B.over one third Americans can see our own galaxy
C.about one in three Americans in big cities can see our own galaxy
D.Americans can only see 200 to 300 stars
33. Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night mainly to .
A.save the electricity B.make sure of migrating bird’s safety
C.let you count the number of stars D.avoid much light pollution
34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The cause of light pollution.
B.The way to reduce light pollution.
C.The effect of light pollution.
D.People’s attitude towards light pollution.
35. Which would be the best title for the text?
A.Light Pollution. B.Seeking the Sky. C.Stars in the Sky. D.City Pollution.
