五、阅读填表
阅读下面短文,完成表格。
A cup of tea is almost a symbol(象征)of British culture. British people were very interested in a hot drink, especially if it is served with some cakes or biscuits. Here are some facts about tea drinking habits in Britain.
There is no real tea time.
All around the world, everyone thinks that British people drink tea every day at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. In fact, we drink tea at every hour of the day, from the minute we get up to the last thing before going to bed. Of course it’s possible that a British person will drink tea around the middle of the afternoon, but it’s also common to drink it with breakfast.
The perfect partner
Scones(司康饼)are a simple kind of cake, a little sweet and usually served with jam(果酱)and cream. They are excellent with tea. In the daily life, if you order a “cream tea” in Britain, you will get a teapot(茶壶)with a plate of scones.
Milk in tea
British people nearly always put milk in their tea. This seems strange to people from other European countries. They would rather drink their tea without adding anything to it. In Britain, people add a certain number of milk depending on taste, so the tea doesn’t look clear enough.
People are always surprised when I say that I prefer coffee to tea as a British person. Tea really is part of our culture, whether we like it or not!
Some facts about __36__
There is no real tea time In fact, British people drink tea at __37__ of the day.
The perfect partner Scones are the perfect partner of tea because __38__.

Dear Tom,
My parents and I had a good trip in China.
First, we went to an ancient city—Xi’an. It is one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever visited. We stayed there for three days and visited the Terracotta Army. The weather was great and the Terracotta Army was so wonderful that we took a lot of photos.
After that, we went to Beijing to visit the Great Wall. It’s a good place to visit and there were many tourists. I was so excited when I was climbing the Great Wall. Just as the Chinese often say, “One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero.” I felt like a hero when I stood on the top of it. We also ate Beijing Roast Duck and Beijing snacks. They were quite delicious.
We’ll be back soon. See you.
Yours,
Jenny
