The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes and cookies at tea time. This is so—called “afternoon tea”in England.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。将答案按编号依次填入表格内的题号后。

How do you get along with your teachers? Every day， we spend hours with our teachers at school， We learn from them， and they teach us to be good people. The relationship between students and teachers is very important.

Teachers care about our studies and lives， and it seems they know everything about the subjects they teach. They also have the right to decide who should be the class leaders or take part in activities on behalf of(代表)the class.

So， many students want to be the teacher's pet. We show teachers great respect. In class， we'll obey the rules and keep quiet if the teacher doesn't ask us to speak. We seldom argue with our teachers. When they make a mistake， we don't dare to point it out. Some of us are unwilling to communicate with teachers after class because we don't want to bother them.

At American schools， the situation is a little different. Teachers and students are more like friends. Calling a teacher by his or her name is common. In class， students express their opinions freely and challenge teachers when they don't agree. If it turns out that a teacher made a mistake， the teacher will say "sorry" in front of the whole class. Students and teachers also communicate through e-mail， Facebook or Twitter after class. They chat about studies and life experiences，

Teachers are like our parents and our friends. We should respect our teachers.
