1 . Since 2017, short videos have gotten millions of views (关注) online. Many people create and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. You can even add music and special effects (特效) to your videos. The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.
Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. More than 50 percent of Grade 7 and 8 students said they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent of them have posted their own videos, according to a recent report by the China National Youth Palace Association.
The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they wouldn’t usually see. Many teens like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a 12-year-old user named Xiao Qianyu has posted videos showing her learning jazz dance. This has won her many fans.
However the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and not enough time studying. Some videos are vulgar and not suitable for teenagers.
To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function (功能). It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. Also the government asked companies to make more strict rules for these apps and cancel the unsuitable videos.

8 . Tea, the most typical English drink, became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess, Catherine of Braganza, the queen of Charles Il. A lover of tea since herchildhood in Portugal, she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the seventeenth century. The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes, and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day. Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the"tea break.” However, drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people. It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.
Around 1800, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anne Maria, began the popular practice of "afternoon tea, "a ceremony taking place at about four o'clock. Until then, people did not usuallyeat or drink anything between lunch and dinner. At approximately the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread--in thin slices, with something(e.g, Jam or cucumbers) between them. Before long, a small- meal at the end of the afternoon, involving tea and sandwiches, had become part of the British way of life.
As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through all comers of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain s favorite drink. In working-class households, if was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor. This meal has become known as"high tea.”
Today, tea can be drunk at any time of the day and accounts for over two-fifths of all beverages consumed in Britain-with the exception of water.

9 . Little Jack loves being the youngest boy, since everybody cares about him so much. However, the only problem for him is that Mum never lets him play on the street. So his favorite time of the day is when his friend Timmy comes to play.
One day when Little Jack was playing with a ball with Timmy, the ball rolled across the street. Before remembering Mum’s rules, his little legs were running as fast as they could. At that time, he heard a loud sound. As he looked to the left, he saw a big white car very close to him.
Uncle Joe came running from behind. “Little Jack, are you okay?" he shouted loudly, but little Jack could not speak and he could not move.
Just then his mum came out. “Little Jack, get out of the street RIGHT NOW!” she ordered. Little Jack felt his legs and body shaking, and he could not stop himself crying.
Uncle Joe said softly(温柔地), "Come on, Wee Man. Get up. You' re out of danger now.” Little Jack answered. “I know the rules, but I just don’t want to follow them.”

10 . ①Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
②There were eating places travelers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns（旅店） that would serve food. And there were taverns（酒馆） where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a "restaurant".
③A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore" (恢复) your health—in French the word "restore" is "restaurer"—so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.
④Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.
⑤Today, cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.
