21、My friend Jason and I wanted to do something to help other people who are less fortunate and help us grow at the same time. After we decided that we would volunteer in Nepal, I did some research on the Internet and I found Volunteer Nepal and felt strongly that it was the right choice for us.

While making our plans, Jason and I realized that others might like the opportunity to be a part of our experience. So before leaving for Nepal, we asked the people we know whether they would be interested in donating (捐赠) cash or goods to Nepal Orphans (孤儿) Home.

One friend, whose family owns a chain called Drake Supermarket, told others about it. His effort paid off. We received donations that filled 29 boxes with sporting goods, toys, coloring books, pencils, children’s books, and more. The boxes were later taken to Drake’s warehouse (仓库) where I prepared them for shipment. Drake agreed to ship them to Nepal for free.

The boxes had arrived at the Volunteer House when we arrived there. The next day, Jason and I unpacked the boxes. The children from the orphanages lined up and were each able to choose a gift. This process took about an hour, but the looks on their faces and the happiness that we saw in their eyes made it one of the best days of our life.

We visited the orphanages there in the following days. Being with the children at the orphanages was both sad and wonderful. I’m sure that anyone who has volunteered will understand what I mean by that. My experience as a volunteer was very valuable. It has changed me as a person and the way I viewed life in the past.

22、The secret to happiness is keeping busy , research has found . Keeping the mind occupied with tasks –------ no matter how meaningless—keeps off (避开) negative emotions (情绪)，the study found .

24、Tea, High Tea, and Afternoon Tea

Tea is a very important part of many people’s lives and it is important for those who drink tea or participate in tea meals to understand some terms related to tea.

Tea the drink

There are two forms of tea that often cause confusion in the tea world: tea the drink and tea the meal. Tea the drink is made from the Camellia Sinensis plant and from the processing of the plant white, green, oolong, and black teas are produced.

Tea the meal

Tea the meal on the other hand involves tea the drink as an important part but really is directed toward social and family gatherings where tea and food are often consumed together.

Afternoon tea

Afternoon tea(or Low tea) is a light meal typically eaten at 4:00 pm. It originated in Britain, though various places in the former British Empire also have such a meal. However, most Britons no longer eat such a meal.

High tea

High tea is an early evening meal, typically eaten between 5:00 and 6:00 pm. It would be eaten as a substitute (替代品) for both afternoon tea and the evening meal. The term comes from the meal being eaten at the “high” (main) table, instead of the smaller low table. It is now largely replaced by the later meal tea.

Tea

Tea is the main evening meal, even if the diners are not drinking tea. It is traditionally eaten at 5 o’clock in the evening, though often it is later, as late as 9:00 pm.
