had ever heard about tea.People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like,
mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people
who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.
Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking
the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their
mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their
children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce (缺少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East
India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During
the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could
afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.
Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named
Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found
it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great
lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with
milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons
drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking
tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake
at three or four o"clock stopped her getting "a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her
friends to have this new meal with her and so tea-time was born.

second Sunday in May and Father"s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show
love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.
They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles
of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help
with childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On mother"s Day, people
wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is
dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It"s also a day when people whose
parents are dead visit the cemetery(grave). On these days families get together at home as well
as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father"s Day. These are days of fun and
good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make
their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It"s not the value of the
gift that is important, but "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers,
bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodating(居住) a considerable
proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman
objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from
the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks or
flats have been associated with(把……同……联系起来) the lower-income groups
and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot
water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as
such details, important notwithstanding(然而), as easy facilities for disposal(处理)
of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor,
playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing.
It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to
rage(风行) on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned, and it is unfortunate
that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those
who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that
everyone prefers individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of
accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a
scattered(分散)community and the cost in both money and time of the journey to
work for the suburban resident.
