一、阅读理解

1. Something extraordinary happened last month at Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas. The school— with a student population of nearly 900, about 90 percent from low-income families­­­­— planned to host its first “Breakfast with Dads”. About 150 male students, ages 11 to 13, signed up. But event organizers were concerned that some would attend without their Dads at their side, so they put out a call for volunteers who could serve as fathers.

When the day came for the event, nearly 600 men showed up to help and mentor(指导) the boys, some of them volunteering for the first time.

Back in December, the team ran into some difficulties when planning their annual “Breakfast with Dads” events. Dade’s community organizer Ellyn Favors mentioned that students’

participation was low because of some young men not having a father to attend the event. So she decided to post a call for volunteers on Facebook in the hope of finding 50 male mentors to accompany the middle school boys.

Then it led the team to move the event from the cafeteria into the gymnasium so they could house more guests. Team members from Big Thought, the Office OF Cultural Affairs, and even the organizer’s personal friends showed up alongside the male mentors to make the event possible. “I will never forget witnessing the young students surrounded by supportive community

members. There were so many volunteers, that at times I saw young men surrounded in the center of 4-5 mentors. They were laughing. They were talking. They were discussing. They even trusted each other in such short time.” said Ellyn.

2. 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. From the Royal(皇室的) 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 institution, 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 cafés 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 popularised 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.
