There was a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain’s favourite drink，but that did not happen，and today, tea remains Britain’s favourite drink.
To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement (轻描淡写）. From the royal (王室的）family down to the homeless and the out-of-work，tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!
The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.
In those days, however，tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning，thus inventing a lasting British tradition, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the workplace，tea was served for the nobility (贵族）and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea，it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafes and “tea gardens”.
It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800，started the popular “afternoon tea”，which took place at about four o’clock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.
As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”.
Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break” is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea”is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes，while “high tea” has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.

Do you know how to pick a good book you’ll really like Here are some tips.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写 两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150 左右。
Last Saturday，David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy who was about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing. ”David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there，looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs. Brown in middle school. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs. Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day，to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs. Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.
When David read that，he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home，he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs. Brown the next morning. And again he was praised.
David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs. Brown to read and correct them for him. Mrs. Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now. Paragraph 1 ：
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.

Paragraph 2 ：
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.

One possible version：
Paragraph 1 ：
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman，who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end，he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
Paragraph 2 ：
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy，David felt relieved，hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.
