25、get the head waiter and Janet to say sorryB Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and

26、 even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mi

27、stake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years

28、 so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see wh

29、at tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England

30、and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess(公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four oclock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” a

34、mous French lady B. the ancient ChineseC. the upper social class D. people in HollandCHuman feeling are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosm

35、etics(化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm; while yellow is a key color in association with energ

36、y. For primitive men, activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw red, the color of blood and hunting and the fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have

37、 a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it was cho

38、sen as the signal for danger. Some analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm.

This movement from rural areas to urban has been going on for over two hundred years. In many countries, the main reason people c

43、ome to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon and industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need school

44、s, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.

50、rd “formal learning” refers to all learning which takes place in the classroom regardless of whether such learning is informed by conservative（保守的） or progressive ideologies. “Informal learning”, one the other hand, is used to refer to learning that takes place outside the classroom. These definitio

51、ns provide the essential（基本的）difference between the two modes of learning . Formal learning, separated from daily life, may actually promote（促进） ways of learning and thinking that often run counter (contrary) to those obtained from practical daily life. A characteristic feature of formal learning is

52、 the centrality of activities that can prepare for the challenges of adult life outside the classroom, but it cannot, by its nature, consist of these challenges. In doing this, language plays a critical role as the major channel for information exchange. The language of the classroom is more similar

53、 to the language used by middle-class families than that used by working-class families. Middle-class children thus find it easier to acquire(gain) the language of the classroom than their working-class classmates. Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making lea

54、rning immediately relevant. In this context, language does not occupy such an important role: the childs experience of learning is more direct, involving sight, touch, taste, and smellsenses that are under-utilized in the classroom. Whereas formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role, informal learning is acquired as a natural part of a childs socialization. Adults or older children who are proficient in the skill or activity providesometimes un
