阅读理解。  One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.
Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and
beautiful china tea cups.
  Afternoon tea
  People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of
afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals each
day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the
evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between
these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of
inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five
o"clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash
down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups
and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.
Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continue
to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
  Will you come for coffee?
  Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the
words "Will you come for coffee?" to mean "Would you like to come to my home
for a chat?" Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft
drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked
what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a "coffee" party.
  Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
  In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places.
Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to
drink coffee. In fact the London Stock(股票)Exchange is believed to have
started from these coffeehouses. 1. Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she _____.A. enjoyed chatting with her friends in the afternoon at home

     No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生) and part of it is taken
out. Today, however, we needn"t worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into
a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new.
It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.
     Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man
had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain
if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.
     Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas
became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time
laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn"t seem to feel pain when they
were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.
     Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well"s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As
he didn"t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out
with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.
     Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this
terrible event.
1. It is __________ since a man being operated felt all the pain.

3. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to __________.
A. be afraid of anything
B. feel pain
C. want to go to the parties
D. be ill
4. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he __________.
A. felt nothing
B. felt very comfortable
C. still felt pain
D. would die
5. One who took too much of the laughing gas __________.
A. would laugh all the time
B. would die
C. would never feel again

     Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. The number of travelers to Tibet has
grown by 10% every year for a few years. Since July 1,2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers
from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.
     The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and
the Potala Palace. Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey, like Tibetan dancing and
Karaoke.
     On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried chicken and green
vegetables for lunch and dinner. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open - hole toilets, this one has
special toilets which can collect the waste. There is also a special rubbish system(系统) in the train that
keeps the environment clean. All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight.
TV and electrical sockets(插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.
