【推荐3】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.
In Turkey, tea comes in a special thing called a Caydanlik. It has two kettles: one for the water and one for the tea. Drink Turkish tea with some sugar.

【推荐1】Easter Day, which will fall on Sunday, April 17th this year, dates back to 325 AD. It is celebrated by hundreds of millions of people around the world. In my family, it is considered as the greatest holiday of a year.
Every Easter my brothers and I wake up early and, like on Christmas morning, run downstairs to see what surprises are waiting for us. We are always excited when the Easter Bunny, who is like Father Christmas, comes and leaves us a basket of candy. It’s like there is a miracle every Easter morning.
Our mother, however, doesn’t let us eat chocolate as much as we want. The chocolate bunnies and candy eggs have to wait. Instead, we have to get dressed in our new clothes.
Then our family go to church. After that we go to an elder family member’s house for a party. My mother’s family is from Eastern Europe, so we often eat many traditional European dishes. My favorite is ham and a special potato salad. We usually have 20 or more family members at the dinner.
After dinner, my cousins, brothers and I go outside. While we are sleeping the night before Easter, our parents have hidden plastic eggs in the backyard. We always have a contest to see who can find the most eggs. The winner will get a prize. It is our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Sometimes, in summer, we may discover an egg we missed at Easter.

【推荐3】We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk.
People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases (短语) into a few letters called acronyms (首字母缩略词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some of them are:
| BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back) LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion) |
People also use many abbreviations (缩写词). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
| info (information) puter (computer) pic (picture) sec (second) |
We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feeling”, such as:
| :-) (happy) :-p (joking) :-( (sad) :-o (surprised) |
There are even whole new words, like “newbie”—someone who is new on a chat board or forum (论坛). When you write something bad about someone else, it’s called “flaming” the person.
It takes time to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
1. Why do people use acronyms?| A．To make jokes. | B．To show their feelings. |
| C．To type phrases quickly. | D．To make newbies not understand them. |
| A．The person has to go away from the computer. |

| C．The person is sad that his computer is having problems. |
| D．The person is surprised to find his computer doesn't work. |
