Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England．People there used to drink a light beer（啤酒）． No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table!

When tea was first brought to England，an old couple got some as a special treat．But they did not know how it should be used．They cooked the leaves in hot water，and spread them on a piece of bacon（熏肉） which they were going to have for dinner．They ate the leaves，and threw the tea away!However，tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today．

Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China，Japan and some other countries．Tea famers usually grow many tea plants on a large piece of land．When the tea leaves are ready to be picked，it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year．They pull off on the leaves and dry them．In their spare time，they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market．In China，whenever a visitor comes into a house，he is served with a cup of tea．

Dear Sunday Globe，

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday's newspaper．You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones，but you didn't talk about their bad points at all．So，I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette （礼

7

仪）．

The first point I'd like to address is loudness．When you talk on your smartphone in public，please don't shout．In fact，the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive （灵敏的）．So，you can be heard even if you speak quietly．

Another point is about personal space．I don't think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people．This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business．What's worse，it stops many face﹣to﹣face conversations from ever beginning．

Lastly，doing two things at the same time is dangerous．For example，making calls while driving is a bad habit．Pay attention to the road!Similarly，when staying with your friends，turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company．

Yours truly， Amber Jala 79．Amber Jala wrote the letter to ．

A．find a good job B．provide advice C．make her life easier D．buy a smartphone 80．What does the underlined word\？ A．致函 B．称呼 C．陈述 D．选址

81．According to Paragraph 3，what makes people around you uncomfortable？ A．Discussing face﹣to﹣face． B．Speaking quietly on your phone． C．Minding your own business． D．Calling in small spaces full of people． 82．What can we learn from the last paragraph？ A．It is dangerous to drive on the road． B．It is easy to start a company with others． C．It is bad to turn off our phones while driving． D．It is important to use our smartphones properly．
