It is two in the morning. The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain. Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, ¡°I am just doing my job!¡±

Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world ¡ª the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job.

Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She loves the dolphins. ¡°We never tell a dolphin what to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,¡± she said.

Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers. The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them. In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular. They sing to the people on holiday. As the visitors travel around the island they can listen to the music of the karaoke singers.

Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?

According to a recent study, there¡¯s a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved(֤ʵ) to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling(ÆÆ»µ) our moods.

In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside. They also found better memory scores when they ran tests comparing the two groups.

The best temperature for humans is about 22.2¡æ. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods. It¡¯s mostly because we don¡¯t like to be inside when spring time arrives. It can also make inside activities seem boring.

Maybe the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day.

Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we¡¯ll feel that day. If it¡¯s rainy, that won¡¯t necessarily make us unhappy. We¡¯ll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!

When tea was first brought to England between 1652 and 1654, it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it. It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it should be used. Finally they boiled(Öó·Ð) the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon(ÏÌÈâ) for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale£¨ÂóÑ¿¾Æ£©as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.

Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals¡ªbreakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, big meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788¡ª1861) experienced a ¡®sinking feeling¡¯  in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an extra afternoon meal at five o¡¯clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for ¡°tea and a walking the fields¡±.

The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common form of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine china from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second bottle (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small fire. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.
