One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western t ea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
Afternoon tea
    People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day: breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches. And tea was served(供应) to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.
Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
In the 17th century Lon don, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as w ell as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange(伦敦股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.
35.Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she ______.
   A. enjoyed chatting with her friends at home
   B. loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups
   C. wanted to share nice food with her friends
   D. found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals
36.What does “social occasions” mean in Chinese?
   A. 集体婚礼       B. 社交活动       C. 社区表演      D. 公共场合
37. If someone says to you “Will you come for coffee,” you ______.
   A. will be offered coffee only       
 B. are asked what you would like to drink
   C. will be asked to have a chat with him or her
D. you are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party
38. From the last paragraph we can see______
   A. a new business was started in coffeehouses.
   B. coffeehouses are still used by businessmen and bankers.
   C. businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses just for coffee.
   D. most people wouldn’t like to go to coffeehouses because of the noise.

   A. British and Chinese cultures.        B. The beginning of Tea and Coffee.

C
If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals(信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.
       In case(假使) you don't think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we rece ive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(语气) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.
       These non-verbal(非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people’s body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.
40.The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to ___________.
       A. explain what body language is
       B. show the importance of body language
       C. tell us body language is less used than verbal language
       D. tell us body language is the only tool in communication
41..What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
       A. Body language is widely used all over the world
       B. Body language can be explained in different ways.
       C. It’s too hard to understand the meanings of body language
       D. People have already looked through many books on body language.
42.According to the writer, body language is very ___________.
       A. simple to learn                        B. negative to be used
       C. hard to understand                   D. helpful in communication
43.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
       A. Body language is uncomfortable.
B. What people are saying is not important
       C. Body language can show your emotion.  
D. To send wrong signals is not body language
44.We can infer(推断) that the writer will most probably talk about __________ next.
       A. what the wrong body language signals are
       B. examples of how to understand body language correctly.
       C. numbers about how many people wrongly use body language
       D. an analysis (分析) of why people wrongly understand body language
D
