Tea, the most important of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid 17 th century that tea first appeared in England.

Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o’clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked her servant to bring a tray of tea, bread, butter and cake to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.

This pause for tea became a fashionable social event. During the 1880’s upper class and society women would change into long gowns(长袍), gloves and hats for their afternoon tea which was usually served in the drawing room between four and five o’clock.

Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty(讲究的) sandwiches, scones(烤饼)served with cream and jams. Cakes and pastries(面团) are also served. Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured from silver teapots into delicate bone china cups.

Nowadays, however, in the average suburban home, afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea, usually produced using a teabag.

Do you know that over ten million American kids go to camp every summer? 1. Back then, before the air conditioner was invented, hot city summers were uncomfortable and even unhealthy for children, so escaping to the country for a few weeks became a popular trend.

Today, kids have different reasons for making camp a part of their lives, such as:

To meet new people

Camp might give you a chance to be with people from different states, or even different countries. It’s a great way to make new friends and learn about different places and cultures.

We liked to swim in the pool a lot.”

To challenge yourself

3. Fresh challenges — like trying new sports, learning new crafts and games, or pushing yourself to achieve something — can be very rewarding. Take it from Arabella, 13, who told us: “ I went to summer camp and I passed my swimming test! I can hardly swim, so it was a big accomplishment (成就). 4. ”

To appreciate nature

There’s a great big natural world out there, and going to camp helps you learn how beautiful and important it really is. 5. Getting out into the woods or mountains can give you a better understanding of how the web of life works.

A. Not all the things that kids do at camp are easy.

B. She speaks Spanish and I speak Japanese.

C. I felt great afterwards.

D. It’s also a great way to learn about teamwork and tolerance(包容).

E. Summer camp has been a U.S. tradition for over 150 years.

F. When you get right down to it, going to camp is all about having a good time.

G. Without trees, soil, water, and wildlife, the Earth couldn’t survive.
