Tea time is first thing in the morning at Buckingham Palace! Even queens need a morning pick-me-up, and Queen Elizabeth II is no exception to having an early morning necessity. The Queen eats breakfast every day at 8:30 a.m. with her husband, Prince Philip.But she doesn't arrive on an empty stomach.In fact,Elizabeth treats herself with something before her morning bath every morning at 7:30.

Once she's up,Queen Elizabeth II enjoys a pot of hot Earl Grey,alongside some tea biscuits. Like most United Kingdom residents,she takes her tea without sugar,but doesn't mind adding a little milk.You can,in fact,drink your tea like a royal,because Her Majesty's favorite brand of Earl Grey is available around the world.

Her tea is piping hot and poured from silver pots into a bone china cup for her to sip while she listens to the radio.If you can also enjoy a cup of tea in the morning,follow the example of the Queen and try making these tea cookies to eat before the most important meal of the day.

Once she's digested her pre-meal treats,Queen Elizabeth II loves to enjoy Special K grain food and fruit for her morning food and drinks.Yes,the Queen really does love the same brands that we"commoners"every day!You can check out other diets she loves.

This sounds like the perfect start to any day to us!And we're glad that the United Kingdom's longest-serving ruler is taking a little bit of time for herself.Can't you get enough other foods Qucen Elizabeth II eats regularly?Ordinary people usually worship the members of the royal family and take great interest in their way of life.

21.Which of the following best describes the tea the Queen drinks?

A.Rare.     B.Cheap.      C.Popular    D.Expensive

22.What does the author encourage readers to do?

A.Ask the Queen for her diet plan.

B.Follow the Queen's morning diet.

C.Help the Queen improve her lifestyle.

D.Share their life experiences with the queen.

23.What would be the best title for the text?

A.What the Queen eats before breakfast

B.The Queen eats the same as we do

C.How pre-meal treats benefit the Queen

D.Good foods and drinks we eat as breakfast

B

When you first step into a classroom,one of the first things to catch your eye is usually a list of rules.However,there's one rule that you just can't help but question:No electronics.In reality, the classrooms in our school have an aversion to modern technology,so electronic devices(设备) such as computers and cellphones are not allowed,for they are thought to have a bad influence on children's attention at class.However,is it possible that these devices could actually be used to improve our learning experience?

As is known to us,these years we have spent so much time talking about the disadvantages of modern technology that we've failed to see their advantages in a classroom.Many people of the 80's and 90's still remember learning about history by playing the game The Oregon Trail,and many of us2oo0's teenagers remember games such as Brain Age that encouraged our cognitive(认知的)development.

It doesn't end with educational games, either. Take Minecraft for example.While a parent may complain(抱怨)that their child spends too much time playing the hit video game,what they probably fail to realize is that their child's brain is being enriched with information allowing creativity and problem-solving.Children who play on public or local computers may also pick up on social skills.For older children,creating computer games can be a great introduction to coding(编码).Many schools have begun to bring the game into their classrooms.

In the end,it's important that we welcome technological development in our classrooms and see the educational value in having fun.School no longer must mean sitting down for hours in front of a pictureless textbook.Instead,school can be a place where children are able to see learning as a lifelong experience.

24.What does the underlined part "have an aversion to"in Paragraph I mean?

A.Change.      B.Dislike.     C.Expect.     D.Overuse.

25.Some computer games are mentioned to show

A.parents know little about computer games

B.children can create better computer games

C.children can learn from computer games

D.parents only welcome educational games

26.What is the author's attitude towards electronic devices?

A.He is against them.

B.He is in favor of them.

C.He is uninterested in them.

D.He is uncertain about them.

                                   C

If you are a fruit grower-or would like to become one-take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21,but since it has caught on,events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn't taste of anything special,it's still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的)Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm,sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it,so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience,try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

27.What can people do at the apple events?

A.Attend experts' lectures.

B.Visit fruit-loving families.

C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard

D.Taste many kinds of apples.

28.What can we learn about Decio?

A.It is a new variety.

B.It has a strange look.

C.It is rarely seen now.

D.It has a special taste.

29.What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream"in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.A practical idea.            B.A vain hope.

C.A brilliant plan.             D.A selfish desire.

30.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A.To show how to grow apples.

B.To introduce an apple festival.

C.To help people select apples.

D.To promote apple research.

Ways to protect eyes from screens

Too much screen time may cause serious eye strain(眼疲劳)and even a sharp decline of eyesight.That's a big problem a lot of people are faced with nowadays,especially those who work on a computer.The following tips may be helpful.

Get regular eye tests.

Experts recommend having a comprehensive eye exam every year to detect(探测) problems before they develop.During this test,you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. __31__ Tell your doctor about it,and your eyes can be tested more accurately at that distance.

Give your eyes space

__32__ Studies on computer-related eye strain suggest that screens should be no closer than 40cm from your face.If this makes it hard for you to read,consider increasing the size of the text rather than moving the screen closer.

Take breaks

This may not always be practical if you're quite busy,but it's important not to stare directly at a screen for too long. __33__ While surveys have shown that many office workers take no more than half an hour a day away form their computer,it's recommended that you take a 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen.

__34__

Staring at a screen continuously for hours on end may make it difficult for you to focus.To avoid this,many eye experts recommend the "20-20-20 rule"---looking away from your phone/computer screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.The science behind his trick is that looking at objects at a distance relaxes the focusing

muscle in the eye. __35__

A.Exercise your eyes.

B.Give your eyes a chance to rest.

C.Make your screen more eye-friendly.

D.Studies show it's an effective way to reduce tiredness.

E.You should also measure the distance from your eyes to your screen at work.

F.The closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes,the harder they have to work to focus.

G.Make sure that you use your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough.

The Online Course

As a newly-developing learning style,the online course has become more and more popular recently. Online courses often offer much convenience which is beneficial for students to save more time.Online courses allow students to study knowledge at any time and any place.What's more,any type of online course can be found easily.

However,there is an obvious disadvantage of online course.Not all the people can highly focus on the teachers while studying online,so the freedom that makes online course such a great thing for some people but can be a challenge for others.

From my perspective,online courses will become a trend in the future.
