In the evening, a gold haze settles over everything. This is my favourite time of the day, when all work for the day has been completed. When the smell of hot oil and fragrant spices float through the
air, I know that it will soon be time for dinner. My neighbours begin to call to their children to come home.
The birds begin their nightly quarrel over their
favourite places to rest.

概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Britain?is a tea-drinking nation. Every day we drink 165 million cups of tea and each year around 144 thousand tons of tea is imported (进口). The traditional way we often use to make tea is: Boil (煮沸) some fresh cold water, put some hot water into the teapot (茶壶) to make it warm, and then pour (倒) the water away. Put one teaspoon of tea-leaves per person, and one extra teaspoon, into the pot. Pour boiling water onto the tea and leave for a few minutes, then serve.
If someone asks you if you “would like a cuppa”, they are asking if you would like a cup of tea. If someone says “let me be Mother” or “shall I be Mother”, they are offering to pour out the tea from the teapot. Tea break, tea time, tea party, and many more terms have come from the tradition of drinking tea. Tea breaks are when tea and biscuits are served. The traditional time for tea breaks is at 11 am and 4 pm. If something is not quite to your taste, it's probably “not your cup of tea”.
Afternoon tea, the traditional 4 o'clock tea, is a small meal, not a drink. Afternoon tea is not common these days because most adults go out to work. However, you can still have afternoon tea at the many tea rooms around?England.
Afternoon tea began about one hundred and eighty years ago when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for a cup of tea in the afternoon. Soon everyone was enjoying afternoon tea.
The British working people did not have afternoon tea. They had a meal about noon and a meal after work, between 5 and 7 o'clock. This meal was called “high tea” or just “tea”. Traditionally eaten early evening, high tea was a meal that included delicious sweet foods, bread, cold meats, and eggs. This meal is now often replaced
(取代) with a supper due to people eating their main meal in the evening rather than the middle of the day.
British people like drinking tea a lot, especially in a traditional way. (要点1) There are many phrases and terms related to the custom of drinking tea. (要点2) With a history of almost two centuries, afternoon tea, once a popular small meal, has lost its popularity gradually. (要点3) Besides, now the British working class have supper rather than high tea, once served as a meal after work. (要点4)
