24、Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4 to sit and drink several cups of tea? Ask any of my German students and they will tell you “YES!” But it’s simply not sure.

We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for it. “Tea” is widely used as a name for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Unusually it is the main meal of the day, eaten between 5 and 7. So “teatime” refers to the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening meal is often called dinner, however, dinner in the north is the midday meal. In general:

North: Breakfast ﹣﹣ Dinner﹣﹣Teatime

South: Breakfast ﹣﹣ Lunch﹣﹣Dinner

What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I’m afraid. Tea breaks are just opportunities to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes. In this time you can drink what ever you like (which of course includes tea). This is usually with a small snack, like biscuits. The best time for a tea break is around 11 a.m. or around 3 p.m.

But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea, cakes and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually served for special occasions (场合) such as a birthday party.

25、Suppose you are going to write the sentence: “I must run or I’ll miss the last bus.” You are not fully satisfied with it because the word “run” is not enough to describe how hurried you felt at that moment. But where can you find a more suitable word?

In a situation like this, you might need a thesaurus. It can help you find the most suitable word to express your ideas. As for the sentence above, “fly” might be a better choice than “run”: I must fly or I’ll miss the last bus. With the help of a thesaurus, you can easily improve your writing.

________ Very few words can be changed freely. Take the word “good” as an example, you will get words like “superb” and “acceptable” in a thesaurus. However, “a good meal” is different from “a superb meal” or “an acceptable meal”. “A superb meal” is much better than you expected, “An acceptable meal” is not bad, but it’s not good enough. Just as Mark Twain once put it, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning (闪电) and a lightning bug (萤火虫).” So you’d better take time to study a word carefully before you use it in your writing.

Using different kinds of words to make your point understood will make your writing more interesting and clearer. As long as you use it properly, a thesaurus can be a great tool.

【1】In a thesaurus, we can find some words have ________ meanings.

A．similar

B．funny

C．double

D．opposite

A．acceptable ＞ superb ＞ good

A．To begin with, you can change the word into whatever you like.

B．In fact, some words are funnier than other words.

C．However, you must be careful when using a thesaurus.

D．Besides, you can find some other ways to improve your writing.

【4】According to the writer, if we use a thesaurus properly, it can help us ________.

①improve our reading skills

②make our writing more interesting and clearer

③find the most suitable word to express our ideas

④communicate with native speakers more confidently

A．①②
