9．1．Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4 p．m．to sit and drink several cups of tea？Ask any of my German students and they will tell you"YES!"
I'm sorry to disappoint，but it's simply not true．We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain，but there is no special time for the nation's favorite drink．British people will drink tea all day whether morning，noon or night （my mother makes her first cup at 6 a．m．）．There are reasons for the confusion surrounding"teatime"，however．
"Tea"is widely 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 p．m．and 7 p．m．So，"teatime"refers to the meal and not the drink．In the south，the evening meal is often called dinner，while dinner in the north is the midday meal．Confused？Many heated debates can happen between southerners and northerners about the right name．
What about tea breaks？Surely this must be a special time for tea？Wrong again，I'm afraid．Tea breaks are simply an opportunity to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes．During this time you can drink whatever you like．Also a small snack，like biscuits，is usually eaten．The best time for a tea break is mid-morning around 11 a．m．or mid-afternoon 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 served during special activities such as a birthday or engagement （订婚） party．Tea rooms are also very popular with tourists and are definitely worth a visit．
Teatime，tea breaks，afternoon tea…how could you possibly get muddled up （混淆）？

1．What does"tea"mean in Scotland and the north of England？（不多于3个单词）The meal．/The evening meal．
2．What is the aim of tea breaks？（不多于4个单词）To have a rest．/To rest．
3．What special activities can be held in tea rooms？（不多于5个单词）A birthday or engagement party．/Birthday or engagement parties．
4．Why does the writer write this passage？（不多于7个单词）To clear up some misunderstandings．/To explain teatime and some related terms．．

3．A sense of humor is something highly valued．A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident．However，humor is a double-edged sword．Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others．
People who use bonding humor tell jokes and generally lighten the mood．They're thought to be good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations．They often make fun of their common experiences，and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes．The basic message they deliver is：We're all alike，we find the same things funny，and we're all in this together．
Put-down humor，on the other hand，is an aggressive type of humor used to criticize others through teasing．When it's aimed against politicians，as it often is，it's extremely funny and mostly harmless．But in the real world，it may have a harmful effect．An example of such humor is telling friends an embarrassing story about another friend．When challenged about their teasing，the put-down jokers might claim that they are"just kidding，"thus allowing themselves to avoid responsibility．This type of humor，though considered by some people to be socially acceptable，may hurt the feelings of the one being teased and thus have a bad effect on personal relationships．
Finally，in hate-me humor，the joker is the target of the joke for the amusement of others．This type of humor was used by comedians John Belushi and Chris Farley-both of whom suffered for their success in show business．A small amount of such humor is charming，but routinely offering oneself up to be embarrassed destroys one's self-esteem，and fosters depression and anxiety．
So it seems that being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being．In certain cases，it may actually have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships．

21．In bonding humor，people create a relaxing atmosphere byA．
A．joking about experiences they share
B．showing their personal relationships
C．teasing experiences of their friends
D．laughing at other's misfortunes
