Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition. Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture.

It is said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5,000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. The servants began to make water hot enough to turn into gas for him to drink. Dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The king drank some, and found it could make him feel less tired. Also as a scientist, Shen Nong was interested in the new drink. And so, tea was created in 2737 BC.

Drinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following helpful advice.

•Drink it hot. Tea oxidizes(氧化) quickly, so it is suggested that you drink it hot.

•Do not drink too much strong tea. It will probably be harmful to your stomach and make you feel sick if you make the tea too strong.

•The best time to drink tea is between meals. It may not make you have a strong wish to eat when your stomach is empty, or cause stomachache when your stomach is full.

•Do not drink with medicine. It may change the medical result. You can drink tea two hours after you take medicine.

根据短文内容和首字母提示,在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上,完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。(每空一词)

Usually, you don’t find the same words in different languages. But there is an exception for the word “OK”!

The word OK first appeared in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839.

It was an abbreviation of the phrase “oll Korrect”, an incorrect s1. of “all correct”. Although it began as a joke, people later u2. the phrase on documents(文件) or through telegraphs(电报) to say that all was well.

This year, OK celebrated its 179th b3.. We use this expression countless times every day. “How about two o’clock? OK?” “OK then.” The word OK is e4. to say, write and understand.

Besides, it is more neutral(中立的) than many words. Allen Metcalf, American author of OK : The Improbable story of America’s Greatest Word, told The Times, “What OK provided that other words did not was neutrality, a way to express agreement w5. having to offer an opinion.” For example, if someone asks you to go for a walk after lunch, you can s6. answer “OK”. There you go — no extra opinions.

OK can be spelled in different ways: okay or O.K. they are all p7. the same. But “OK” is the most widely accepted spelling and is often used in writing. Some people, however, like the spelling “okay” b8. it looks more like a word.

Sometimes, people also say short forms of OK like “K”. For example, someone might say, “I’m just going to the supermarket, but I’ll be b9. in 10 minutes.” You could reply with “K”.

OK is so useful that it’s said worldwide. You may not know the l10. of someone you’re talking with, but saying “OK” with gestures(手势) can help you communicate.
