11、less and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life! The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history.

12、esides coffee. In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British tradition, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside

As tea became much cheaper d
15、uring the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a days labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”. Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Mos
16、t people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break”is an institution in British offices and factories.

19、The History of Tea C When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister? Maybe. An emergency? Possibly.A mother?

One of its actresses says the show reflects her own experience. “Friendship is about commitment. I dont see some of my friends for ages but when we get together, it is as if time ha
24、sn”t passed.”This is true of Erika and Janes friendship. With Erikas family 200 miles away, it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erikas apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could as
