In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals eachday-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in theevening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait betweenthese two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea ofinviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five oclock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to washdown the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cupsand plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continueto play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.Will you come for coffee?Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use thewords Will you come for coffee? to mean Would you like to come to my homefor a chat? Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a softdrink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be askedwhat you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a coffee party.Coffeehouse and the London Stock ExchangeIn the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places.Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as todrink coffee. In fact the London Stock(股票)Exchange is believed to havestarted from these coffeehouses.41 .

Ten years ago, only about 300 schools in the US had Chinese lessons. Today, about 1,600 schools teach Chinese.Lomond Elementary School in Ohio is one of them. Each week, all students in grades one through five have a one - hour Chinese class. They learn the language through songs, games and lots of talking. “Were trying to make students interested in the language”, teacher James told Times For Kids. “We think its really important that all children receive these lessons”, he says. “Wed like to do even more.”“Schools are looking to the future,” says Nancy, a US education expert. “China is becoming a really powerful country. Young people should not only know the language but under- stand the culture.” Students may not be thinking about the future, but they think learning Chinese language and culture is fun. “We wish we could go to China one day.” said Karl and his classmate, Walt, from Miami.

However, I will stop hoping and dreaming this time and make the resolutions only.First of all, Im going to spend less time talking and more time doing. In the past(过去的) year, my friends and I spent too much time talking nonsense(胡说八道). There is much work to do in the new year, so Im going to give the year to it.Secondly, Im going to spend less time in front of the TV and the computer.
