The food in Britain is very different from our Chinese food. For instance, they eat a lot of potatoes. They like to eat them every day. They eat bread for breakfast and usually for one other meal. They eat their bread with butter（黄油）, maybe cheese（乳酪）or jam, things we don’t eat much in China. Cheese and butter are made from milk. They drink a lot of milk, too. They drink the milk cold or hot, and they put it in their tea. They put sugar in their tea, as well. They are the world’s biggest tea drinkers. They like Chinese tea, but they drink mostly strong black tea from India and Sri Lanka（斯里兰卡）. They don’t eat much rice. For their main meal they like meat or fish with potatoes and one or two vegetables. They serve all these together. After the main meal they always have something sweet. They call this dessert（甜点心）. They don’t have jiaozi in Britain.

【推荐2】Tea is tasty and good for you. It is also one of the most popular drinks around the world. But what is tea? And why is it so popular?
All tea comes from tea leaves but tea is not always the same. There are many kinds of tea. You can drink black tea, green tea, white tea or fruit tea. Each type of tea has a different taste and a different colour.
The history of tea begins in Asia. In China, Korea and Japan, tea is still very important today. In Japan, it can take many hours to prepare and drink tea with your guests. In Malaysia (马来西亚), a popular drink at breakfast is teh tarik (‘pulled tea’). They say it tastes good with bread.
Tourists in Malaysia like watching the tea sellers make ‘pulled tea’. The tea sellers pour hot water on black tea. After five minutes, they add sugar and milk. Then they ‘pull’ the tea—they pour the tea from one cup to another many times.
In many countries, you must have a special kettle (壶) to make tea. People in different countries also like to add different things to their tea. For example, Russians use a special kettle called a samovar. They like drinking tea with lemon. Sometimes, they also drink tea with some sugar.

【推荐3】Our eating habits are very important for good health. Many people like eating sweets and ice cream more than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. But if we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (食欲). It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time every day. When we feel hungry, it is said that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.
A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a person was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the person could swallow(吞咽) the bread, it showed that he was telling the truth. Though this seems rather strange and foolish, it is indeed a way to find out the truth, sometimes. A person worrying about something has much difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.

【推荐1】Have you ever heard of an avalanche (雪崩)? The avalanches is a kind of sudden natural disaster (灾害) like earthquakes. During an avalanche a lot of snow and ice rush down (冲下) the mountains. As they rush, the snow and ice move faster and faster. In fact, snow from an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles an hour. That is three times faster than a car on a highway!
Most avalanches happen after big storms (暴风雪). In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas, there is snow and ice all year round. After big storms, new snow puts more pressure (压力) on the snow that is already in the mountains. It can make the old snow rush down.
Avalanches are very dangerous. Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull trees and rocks along. That can cause (造成) great damage, such as pushing down (推倒) houses and killing people. Luckily, no one lives in the mountains where avalanches are easy to happen. So not many people die from avalanches each year.
Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are ski lovers (滑雪爱好者). It’s important for them to stay safe while having fun in the snow mountains. Scientists can usually tell whether an avalanche might happen or not. If you are a ski lover, remember to pay attention to scientists’ warnings before you go skiing.

【推荐2】Chaii Stop is a café in Preston, England. It recently received much attention after its owner made a new rule. The rule says that customers will pay different prices for desi chai, a kind of drink, according to how polite they are at the time of placing their orders.
If customers come in and just say “desi chai”, they will pay £5 for one cup. If they say “desi chai, please”, they’ll get the drink for £3. Better still, if they say “Hello, desi chai, please”, the drink will only cost £1. 9.
Usman Hussain, the owner of the shop, came up with the idea. As for why he made the rule, he said, “I think it’s a nice way to remind people to use their manners.”
Hussain made a sign to tell customers the rule. And he has yet to ask someone to pay £5 for the drink. “If one doesn’t use his manners, I’ll point to the sign, and he’ll quickly ask again more politely.” said Hussain.
“A lot of people can be quite rude in the mornings while they’re waking up. But the sign makes them think when they see it. And at the end of the day, you never know what someone is going through to make them act rudely. This sign may help them drop their guard (警惕).” Hussain added.

【推荐3】Many young people have trouble communicating with their parents. However, there are some very useful tips to help solve this problem.
First, make a list of the things you and your parents disagree about most. With each of these things, try to find an answer acceptable to both you and your parents. It is no good for you to require everything to go your way. You have to be ready to change a little if you want them to change.
Second, talk to your parents when it is convenient for them. Remember that your parents may have to work long hours and this can make them tired, so be patient with them.
Third, listen to what your parents have to say. How can you expect them to listen to you if you are not ready to listen to them? In addition, your parents were once young like you, so they understand your situation better than you expect.
Finally, if you do not get a satisfactory result, try not to get too angry. Talk with your parents and find out their reasons, Part of growing up is learning to live with these kinds of disagreements, and learning to understand another person’s way of looking at things.
With a little hard work, you can learn to communicate better with your parents.
