However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey (土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or an office, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and office s usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers (同事). Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working days. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.

The man had just finished eating a little bread for his dinner and he was still hungry. He said,“I wish I had a big pancake!” Suddenly there was a pancake on his plate. “You fool!” his wife cried. “You could wish for a house full of wonderful food, but you wished for a pancake. I wish that pancake was on the end of your foolish nose.” Immediately (立即) the pancake was on the end of the man’s nose. Then the man and his wife started blaming (责备) each other. “It’s your fault!” the man cried. “No, it’s your fault!” she answered. What could they do? The pancake was still on the husband’s nose. “Oh!” the wife cried. “I wish none of this had ever happened!” Immediately the pancake was gone, and the man was saying, “I’m still hungry.

D Space tourism is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples： See the Earth from space Seeing the earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder (which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the Earth). Stay in space hotel Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold six people at a time. Eat in space Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around. Visit the Moon and other planets Space tourism companies are racing to launch the first tourist flight to the Moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the Moon, we will probably see it in our life time. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the Moon. With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than we think. Who knows what the future might be like? Will you be the next person to travel to space? ( )42．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．A lot of companies have sent people into space. B．It is possible for people to travel into space.

However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey (土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or an office, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and office s usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers (同事). Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working days. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers. Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more? ( )31．Where did tea drinking start? A．In Japan. B．In China. C．In Turkey. D．In the UK.

There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples： See the Earth from space Seeing the earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder (which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the Earth). Stay in space hotel Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold six people at a time. Eat in space Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around. Visit the Moon and other planets Space tourism companies are racing to launch the first tourist flight to the Moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the Moon, we will probably see it in our life time. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the Moon.

You should turn off the light when going out. Turning off the tap when you brush your teeth can save a lot of water.

However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey (土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or an office, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and office s usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers (同事). Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working days. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.

Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.
