一、阅读理解
(2017·山东莱芜中考)Do the Briti sh really get together every afternoon at 4 to sit and drink several cups of tea? Ask any of my German students and they will tell you “YES！” But it's simply not true.
We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for it. “Tea” is widely used as a name for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Usually it is the main meal of the day, eaten between 5 and 7. So, “teatime” refers to(指的是) the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening m eal is often called dinner, however, dinner in the north is the midday meal. In general：
North: Breakfast—Dinner—Teatime
South: Breakfast—Lunch—Dinner
What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I'm afraid. Tea breaks are just an opportunity(机会) to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes. In this time you can drink whatever you like (which of course includes tea). This is usually with a small snack, like biscuits. The best time for a tea break is around 11 a．m. or around 3 p．m.
But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea, cakes and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually saved for special occasions(场合) such as a birthday party.
