18．Afternoon tea became popular about 150years ago，when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for an afternoon cup of tea．Usually taken in the late afternoon，it is also called"low tea"as it is served at a low table．Since this isn't a meal，but rather like a late afternoon snack，finger foods such as sandwiches，scones and pastries are common．People are not merely taking tea to get nutrition or satisfy hunger，but to take time to relax，chat and enjoy the company of dear friends．In England，the traditional time for tea is four or five o'clock in the afternoon and no one stays after seven o'clock．
This very British tradition is said to have been started around 1840by Duchess Anna Maria，wife of the 7^th Duke of Bedford，England．During the long time between an early breakfast and very late dinner，she experienced what she called"a sinking feeling"at about 4or 5in the afternoon．So she asked her maid to bring her a pot of tea，a little bread and butter and cake in her room．She found this arrangement so pleasing that she began asking her friends to join her．
High tea，a term often mixed with afternoon tea，usually takes the place of supper．In the past the British working population did not have afternoon tea．They had meals about noon and after work between five and seven o'clock．The table would be set with dinner foods like meat，bread，butter，potatoes，cheese and of course tea．It was called"high tea"because it was eaten at a high dining table rather than a low tea table．
How much do people enjoy the afternoon tea moment？As a famous writer named Henry James said，"There are few hours in life greater than the hour dedicated to（献给） the ceremony known as afternoon tea．"

15．Are you a gourmand（美食主义者）？Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world？Then do you watch the popular program？"A Bite of China"is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by CCTV．Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food？Here are several traditional Chinese foods：
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures，and China is no exception．The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new．After a baby is born，parents may hold a"red egg and ginger party，"where they pass out eggs to announce the birth．In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child，for example，an odd number for a girl，and an even number when a boy has been born．
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture．They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries．Since noodles represent long life，it is considered very unlucky to cut it off．
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate，in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness．In fact，at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last，pointed toward the valued guest．Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish，yu，sounds like the word for richness or plenty，and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come．
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi．This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat，peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves．The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great patriot，Qu Yuan．
