A

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school

with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could

you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking

in class.

Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but

he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells

me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.

In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be n icer to morrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.

But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and tea chers didn’t think he worked hard enough.

Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.

on.

Most newspapers publish (刊登) letters from readers with problems. And they would also publish the answers to the letters. There are many writers giving advice to newspapers. Some of these writers ar e doctors, and some are teachers or lawyers (律师). One of the best writers is a woman. Although she doesn’t have special learning for this kind of work, experience helps her a lot to give advice. She is named Angel. She started writing advice for newspapers at the age of ten.

四.阅读表达

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same 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.

1The Chinese 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”. Most people have cups of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk or 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 Stat es, 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—3“iced tea”. Sometimes they drink canned iced tea, just as soda.
