I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.

For example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.

One day, we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. In England, you usually drink tea with milk,too.

Fish and chips is traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your fingers! It is delicious!

At the bus stop, you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus. Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He was really polite.

A new study finds that some new sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and mountain biking have caused(造成)more than 4 million injuries(伤害)since 2000. Dr. Vani Sabesan, from the US, did the study with his team.

Sabesan said, “While we’re watching or doing all these new sports, we always talk about the exciting feeling, not about the safety.

Skateboarding caused the greatest number of head and neck injuries – more than 129,000. Snowboarding, the cold-weather cousin of skateboarding, caused more than 97,000 head or neck injuries. Skiing came third with more than 83,000 injuries.

Sabesan thinks that people should do something. “There are many young kids taking part in the sports, and they’re getting younger all the time. They go 60 miles an hour down a ski hill,” Sabesan said. “They are risking their life! So we need to make sure the kids wear helmets(头盔). And we need to make sure there are doctors around to prepare for the dangerous situations.”

A.The UK. B.The US. C.Australia. D.China.

Farmers' Harvest (收获) Festival in China started from 2018. It is the first festival for farmers. The festival falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year. And the Autumnal Equinox is usually between September 22nd and 24th, during the harvest season.

As we all know, China has the largest population all over the world. In the past, it was difficult to feed the people. After reform and opening (改革开放), with the development of modern agriculture (农业), people's life is getting better and better. The festival shows that our government is paying more attention to agriculture and farmers' life. It will greatly encourage farmers. China has a long history of agriculture. The Farmers' Harvest Festival helps to show China's long farming culture to the world. It also improves the cultural self-confidence (文化自信心) and national pride (民族自豪感).

The festival is especially created for farmers, so they think of their own ways to celebrate it. During the festival, many different kinds of activities are held across the country, such as folk culture performances, food tasting and so on.

Some people think the festival is the happiest time of a year, even better than the Spring Festival, because food gives people a sense of safety and hope. For other people, the harvest festival is a time to look back at the past and look forward to the future.
