21、   Tea, the most typical English drink, became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess, Catherine of Braganza, the queen of Charles Il. A lover of tea since herchildhood in Portugal, she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the seventeenth century. The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes, and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day. Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the"tea break.” However, drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people. It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.

Around 1800, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anne Maria, began the popular practice of "afternoon tea, "a ceremony taking place at about four o'clock. Until then, people did not usuallyeat or drink anything between lunch and dinner. At approximately the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread--in thin slices, with something(e.g, Jam or cucumbers) between them. Before long, a small- meal at the end of the afternoon, involving tea and sandwiches, had become part of the British way of life.

As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through all comers of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain s favorite drink. In working-class households, if was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor. This meal has become known as"high tea.”

Today, tea can be drunk at any time of the day and accounts for over two-fifths of all beverages consumed in Britain-with the exception of water.

22、

Greenland is the largest island in the world but has a small population of 56,000. Many of these “Greenlanders” live close to the coastline because a large part of the country is covered with ice and glaciers (冰川). Since the 1960s, the country has had economic (经济) difficulties and social problems. Its traditional industry (产业)—and its biggest—is fishing, but the country still needs to buy much more from other countries. Now, however, life is about to change greatly for many Greenlanders—and all because of the weather.   

Most scientists agree that the world is getting warmer and you can already see the difference in Greenland. For example, small icebergs—about the size of city buses—are going to the coast. They have broken off from much larger areas of ice further out in the sea because of the change in temperature. Furthermore, the huge sheet of ice covering Greenland is getting smaller by about 75 cubic kilometres each year. If all of Greenland’s ice melted (融化), sea levels across the world would rise by 7.5 metres.

One industry taking advantage of the melting ice is the oil industry. Nowadays, the sea around the west coast of Greenland has no ice for six months of the year. Oil companies plan to drill for oil there in the next few years. Greenlanders have mixed (混合的) feelings about it. The country’s prime minister, Kuupik Kleist, describes the dilemma: “Greenlanders are the ones most exposed (受影响) to climate change, but we need a strong economy and we have to make good use of the chance that oil could bring us …”

Farming will also change. The growing season is longer with springs arriving earlier and summers ending later. On the one hand, if the country produced more of its own food, it wouldn’t need to buy so much from other countries. On the other hand, some farmers are worried that the drier summers might bring new problems.

For example, last year, it was so dry that farmers produced half the normal amount of food. Farming families usually celebrate the beginning of summer by singing a traditional song. The song is about the importance of summer in a place where, in the past, the winters were long and the summers were short. As nature and the weather changes in Greenland, they might not sing this song in a hundred years’ time.   Summer, summer, how wonderful! How incredibly good!

23、Dust storms(沙尘暴)appear when strong wind blows sand and dirt from a dry surface. Strong dust storms may cause deaths, so you should know how to protect yourself from dust storms when you meet them.

Be careful of dust storm warnings

Dust storms probably happen on hot summer days, and it’s not safe for people to travel during this period. So you should listen to the local TV or radio before travelling, and consider changing or giving up your trip if dust storms are predicted (预测).

Be prepared

If you are in a place where storms often happen, carry a mask(面具)to keep dust and dirt away from your face, and a pair of glasses to protect your eyes.

Stay inside

Do not move around when a dust storm comes, as you will not be able to see hidden(隐藏的)dangers. So if you are in a house, don’t go out and just stay inside.

Protect yourself from flying objects

Cover your body as much as possible in a dust storm. A strong wind of dust storms can carry heavy objects, so you should try to stay low, and close to the ground, and protect your head with your arms or a backpack.
