Do you dream of owning a house? It’s maybe not a big deal for many of us right now, 【1】 it is important for Esperanza, the main character of The House on Mango Street.

In the book, US 【2】 Sandra Cisneros wrote stories about things that happened to Esperanza on Mango Street. She 【3】 a hard life as a woman. She saw how 【4】 her friends were after marrying men, because they didn’t have any rights in society. She saw 【5】 people didn’t believe in each other.

He told people there that Nian was afraid of three things — the color red, fire and noise. He told people to play drums and gongs, make big fires and set off fireworks(放鞭炮) to make Nian go away.

On a moonless, cold night, Nian went to the village again. As soon as it opened its big mouth, people made loud noises and made fires. Nian was really afraid and ran away. wherever it went, there was noise and fire.

When Nian was tired and could not run anymore, people killed the monster. After that, on the coldest day of winter, people beat drums and gongs, and set off fireworks to celebrate the death of the monster of Nian.

24、Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4 to sit and drink several cups of tea? Ask any of my German students and they will tell you “YES!” But it’s simply not sure.

We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for it. “Tea” is wildly used as a name for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Usually it is the main meal of the day, eaten between 5 and 7. So, “teatime” refers to the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening meal is often called dinner, however, dinner in the north is the midday meal. In general:

North: Breakfast—Dinner—Teatime

South: Breakfast—Lunch—Dinner

What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I’m afraid. Tea breaks are just an opportunity to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes. In this time you can drink whatever you like （which of course includes tea）. This is usually with a small snack, like biscuits. The best time for a tea break is around 11 a.m. or around 3 p.m.

But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea, cakes and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually saved for special occasions（场合）such as birthday party.

Teatime, tea breaks, afternoon tea… how could you possibly get muddle up（混淆）these terms（术语）?

【1】According to Paragraph 2, what can we know?

A．Only people in northern UK use the word “teatime”.

B．Teatime is usually between 5 to 7 in the north of England.

C．Teatime is a special time for British people to enjoy tea together.

D．In the south of the UK, the evening meal is often called teatime.

【2】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refers to?

A．People in the UK enjoy drinking tea together.

B．British people drink over 150 million cups of tea a day.

C．“Tea” is widely used as a name for the evening meal.

D．People in northern UK eat the main meal between 5 and 7

【3】From the passage, we can know that ______.

A．British people only drink tea during tea breaks

B．tea breaks allow people to relax during work

C．British people usually take tea breaks early in the morning

D．British people have different kinds of snacks with family during tea breaks

【4】What can’t British people do in the tea room?

A．Enjoy tea with family.

B．Have birthday parties.

C．Share cakes with friends.

D．Have evening meals.

【5】Why does the writer write this passage?

A．To explain teatime and some related terms.

B．To explain the importance of tea to British people.

C．To explain the right way to drink tea in the UK.

D．To explain the different time to have tea in the UK.
