If you choose to travel, it may be very _________ that you will remember the great experience and the feeling for a long time. A new study has found that spending money _________ experiences makes people happier than on material things.

For material things, it is possible that you will _________ every little thing. If you buy a nice pen and someone else buys a similar one with _________ money, you may be unhappy that you spend more money. When it comes to experiences like trips, you won’t think like that. If the experience is really good, you will be happy with the _________.

Material things can be _________ more easily. If you buy a music player and then see a better one, you may regret buying the _________ one. However, if you have a nice dinner at one _________ and then learn about another good restaurant, you will have no regrets about eating the first meal.

On that Saturday afternoon, the Harpers and Aunt Polly’s family went into mourning (哀悼). The village was unusually quiet. The villagers talked little but sighed (叹息) often. Children had no heart in sports and gave them up. People were sad to know that Tom, Joe and Huck were drowned (淹死).

In the afternoon, Becky found herself walking around the yard and feeling very sad. She said to herself, “I haven’t got anything to remember Tom by. He’s gone now. I’ll never, never see him any more.”

Then there was a debate about who saw the dead boys last in life. Many said they did and offered evidence. When it was finally decided who saw the dead boys last, the lucky ones took upon themselves some self-importance.

The next morning, when the bell began to toll (鸣钟), the villagers got together in the church. No one could remember when the little church had been so full before. Aunt Polly entered. She was followed by Sid and Mary and by the Harper family. They were all in deep black. As the funeral continued, people felt sorry that they did not treat the boys well before.

They only saw faults (缺点) in them. People gave way to their feelings and cried. A moment later, the church door opened slowly. People raised their eyes above handkerchiefs and they were surprised. They saw Tom, Joe and Huck—the three dead boys walk into the church! They had been hiding and listening to their own funeral!

Aunt Polly, Mary and the Harpers threw themselves upon their children and kissed them again and again. Tom got hundreds of kisses that day. Before this, he didn’t know he was loved by so many people.

Since tea spread from Chinn worldwide, it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world. Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England.

The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared.

Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess(公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 p.m., which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal.

With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.

Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”.

Others soon picked up on the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the siting room between four and five o’clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion.

Today’s afternoon tea is simpler than traditional afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed — the meaning of afternoon tea.

In America hitching a ride(搭便车) is very common. Many people there love hitching a ride during     51     (they) trips. I also once hitched a ride when I was traveling in America.

I     52     (drive) on the road when my car stopped. I was going to a town that was     53     (far) than I had expected. My tank became empty before I got to the town. Standing there, I didn’t know what to do. I just knew I     54     (need) help. But I could see nobody around. Who could I turn to? Then I thought about the scenes that I had seen in Hollywood     55     (movie). I remembered that people in America loved hitching a ride. I told     56     (I) that I could do that too.

So when a car was coming, I tried to hitch a ride. To my joy, the car     57     (real) stopped in front of me. The driver was an old man. After     58     (know) my problem, he said he could help me out. He took me to the nearest gas station. But then he left as he had something important     59     (do).

I couldn’t walk all the way back to my car. Therefore, I tried to hitch a ride and I     60     (help) out once again. I was greatly moved.
