  It's sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life
difficult for foreigner. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with
him and she says, " If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the café at 7 o'clock," Is
she saying " yes" or " no" to his invitation?
  In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the
conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a "yes" or " no" answer to a
question. It enables people to be diplomatic. If the girl doesn't want to go out
with the boy, she won't turn up at the café. She will let him understand she is still
working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to
catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first
conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the café.
Being polite can make life very difficult!
  The conditional is often used by people in the news-politicians, for
example-who to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are
on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her
points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of
workers, " if we could pay you more, we would.' The use of the conditional here
makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional
form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their
rise.
  "If" is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can
show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the
First-probability-if I can come to your party, I will; the
second -improbability-if I saw you tomorrow, I'd give you the book; and the
third-impossibility( meaning it is too late to change something that has
happened)-if you have told me. I would have helped you.

  One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.
Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and
beautiful china tea cups.
  Afternoon tea
  People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of
afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals each
day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the
evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between
these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of
inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five
o'clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash
down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups
and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.
Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continue
to 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 the
words "Will you come for coffee?" to mean "Would you like to come to my home
for a chat?" Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft
drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked
what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a "coffee" party.
  Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
  In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places.
Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to
drink coffee. In fact the London Stock(股票)Exchange is believed to have
started from these coffeehouses.

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转)of the earth. At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

(   )6.When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.

       A. both day and night              B. day

       C. neither day nor night            D. night

(   )10. When it is winter in China,  ________.
