阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项．

    Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England．People there used to drink a light beer（啤酒）．No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table!

    When tea was first brought to England，an old couple got some as a special treat．But they did not know how I t should be used．They cooked the leaves in hot water，and spread them on a piece of bacon（熏肉） which they were going to have for dinner．They ate the leaves，and threw the tea away!However，tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today．

Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China，Japan and some other countries．Tea famers usually grow many tea plants on a large piece of land．When the tea leaves are ready to be picked，it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year．They pull off on the leaves and dry them．In their spare time，they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market．In china，whenever a visitor comes into a house，he is served with a cup of tea．

    Still remember the following poems？Memories return every time I read or hear them．

Dear Sunday Globe，

    I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday's newspaper．You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones，but you didn't talk about their bad points at all．So，I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette （礼仪）．

    The first point I'd like to address is loudness．When you talk on your smartphone in public，please don't shout．In fact，the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive （灵敏的）．So，you can be heard even if you speak quietly．

    Another point is about personal space．I don't think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people．This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business．What's worse，it stops many face﹣to﹣face conversations from ever beginning．

    Lastly，doing two things at the same time is dangerous．For example，making calls while driving is a bad habit．Pay attention to the road!Similarly，when staying with your friends，turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company．

Yours truly，

Amber Jala

    Kaitlin Riffel's dream to end poverty（贫困） started when she was visiting her father，who worked for the homeless．

    "I never realized there were people in the world who didn't have a home or food before，"said Kaitlin，who is now sixteen．"I knew there was something I had to do about that．"

    At age eight，she started raising money to build a playground．"It took me two years，"Kaitlin said．"We started small．We wanted to do something to make a difference．"

    In 2014，When Kaitlin was thirteen，she visited Central America，and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard．That year，we set Kids on a Mission，which has helped hundreds of people there．

    "The rooms were smaller than my bedroom，but there would be eight people living in each one，"Kaitlin said．"We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of．"

    Providing clean drinking water，food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission．"This young lady is changing the hearts of people，and also changing the world，"said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school．

阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）．

    There was once an old and deep well．People got water by dropping a bucket（木桶） tied to a rope．The rope passed over a wheel just above the well．On the other side of the rope was another bucket．

    A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water．They always passed each other on the way up and down，but never had time to speak．

    At last，the rope became worn．So a new rope had to be put in its place．While this was being done，the two buckets were left standing together near the well．

    "What a boring life we have!"said one bucket to the other．"I am quite tired of it．No matter how full we come up，we are always sent down empty．"

    But the other bucket laughed and said，"What a funny way you have of looking at things!Don't you see that whenever we are sent down empty，we always come up full？'

    Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets．You may hear one of them say，"Just as we are having a good game，we are made to stop and go to work again．""Yes，"the other will reply，"but as soon as work is over，we always get to go out and have fun again．"

    There are two ways of looking at things．If you want to be happy，look at the bright side．
