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 Ⅱ. As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal, she brought tea­drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the 17th 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, Anna Maria Russell, began the popular practice of “afternoon tea”， a ceremony taking place at about four o'clock. Until then, people did not usually eat 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 like jam or cucumbers between them. Before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon, involving tea and sandwiches, became part of the British way of life.

As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society.Thus, tea became Britain's favorite drink. In working­class households, it 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 two­fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain—with the exception of water.

Ⅱ.完形填空

I worked on boats for twenty­five years.  Now I am a docking pilot (码头领航员). My job is to    1   in the large luxury liners (邮轮) and stay with them until they are   2   stopped in the harbour.  Sometimes this requires two tugs (拖船), sometimes many more，  3   the tide and the weather.

I felt very   7   after I had docked several of the large liners. I realized I was in   8   of a great ship worth millions of dollars and the   9   were depending on me to bring her safely to the port.  These tugs, whether one or ten，  10   about in accord with (与……一致) whistle signals I   11   them from the bridge of the big liner.

The captain of each tug does his work according to the signals he   14  . He never asks questions. He takes   15   faithfully，and it   16   works out.

Working around tugboats,  where so much depends on   17   ，has had its effect on what I believe. I believe that if I am to attain a(n)   18   place in the world I must have the help of my fellow men just as the great transatlantic (横越大西洋的) liners depend on the   19   of the little tugs to bring them safely to the   20  .
