It’s the second time for me to come to Beijing. There are many places of interest in Beijing, such as the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, etc. What’s more, I think great changes have taken place in Beijing. People’s living conditions have improved a lot. Their life is very happy. Almost everyone has a big smile on the face. People in Beijing are in high spirits and hard-working. Children can receive a good education.
But in the past, some children didn’t have enough money to go to school. They often worked for cruel bosses. The bosses didn’t give them enough food. I feel sorry for them. Today people have already lived in tall building, worn beautiful clothes and so on. Life has changed greatly.
【小题1】How many times has the writer been to Beijing?

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

In China, for example, people always drink tea when they are getting together. They drink it at any time of the day at homes or in the teahouses. They prefer plain tea, with nothing else in it.

Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called tea ceremony（茶道）. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

Another tea-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and a few sandwiches at tea time. This is the so-called “Afternoon Tea” in Britain.

In the United States, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea—“iced tea”. Sometimes they drink canned iced tea, just as soda.
