While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The

average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.

Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea

from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time.

Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.

There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the

UK. Black tea is dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (

氧化

) before

drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or

with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into

the best china cups with saucers (

茶托

) for visitors.

Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount

of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2012, and has been

dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2018 alone, and most restaurants report selling more

than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than

￡

1 billion was spent on coffee in high

street stores in 2017, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.

Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.

of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?

A. Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.

B. The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.

Is smile just a facial expression? Of course not! It is not only used to express pleasure, affection,

and

friendliness,

but

also

the

commonest

way

to

show

our

good

will

perfectly

without

saying

anything. A Chinese saying runs:

that smile is a language all its own — a universal language — understood by the people of every

nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in

the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.

One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be

approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed quite unfriendly and not

at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store.

On the outside stood a young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held

mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, brilliant smile covered his face. The magic power of that

smile

made

all

bitterness

good time, or are working and earning lots of money.

Many of us choose to go to university as a first step towards a good career but sometimes that

career is hard to achieve and graduates end up doing something they are overqualified for. With the

increasing costs of university, students begin to ask themselves whether a degree path is the best

route into a career. There is a need for much better career advice and guidance on employment in

addition to university education.

But other new research says that a degree will, in the long run, earn you more. However, there

are differences in your earning potential. Dr Jack Britton says that

Group universities earn an average of

￡

33,500 after five years- about 40% more than those who

studied at other universities.

However, it has found it's not just the location but other factors that can play a part in what you

can earn, such as the subject a student chooses to study. It discovered that five years after graduation,

the income gap between students who studied the subjects that attract the highest and lowest salaries

can be considerable. Graduates in subjects such as law, medicine, and dentistry as well, tend to do

well. And as they progress, the pay gap between these careers and others, such as the creative arts

widens. There are other factors too that influence what you might earn: Five years after graduation,

men earn on average14% more than women. Also, a student's social background can have an effect,

with those from better-off households much more likely to go to university and particularly a good

one.

But if you still feel university doesn't deliver the best opportunities then there are encouraging

words

from Alistair

Jarvis,

head

of

Universities

UK,

who

told

BBC

News

that

“Employers

are

demanding more graduates and graduates are half as likely to be unemployed as non- graduates.

There are many good graduate outcomes coming from universities. ” So maybe all that studying is

worth it--after all “no pain, no gain”!

32. Why do students start to question whether to go to university or not?

A. Because of the heavy studying burden.

B. Because they can't get a degree after graduation.

C. Because they don’t need a degree for their career.

D. Because of the increasing costs of university.

33. Which major may most probably lead to a lower-earning career?
