Yang Yu， 14， of Jilin， hasn't adapted （适应） himself to the changes in his classroom since the first day of this term： teachers now hold classes with a computer and screen． "Instead of writing on the blackboard as before， they click the mouse and show us the Power Point （PPT） slides （幻灯片） on the screen． Sometimes， there is not even one word on the blackboard after a whole class，" Yang said． "I'm not quite used to the multimedia （多媒体） class．"

Did you know that tea，the most popular drink in the world（after water）was invented by accident？Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5，000 years ago．It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink． One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire．Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time．It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water．It was quite delicious，and so，one of the world's favorite drinks was invented．
A few thousand years later，Lu Yu，"the saint of tea"，mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing．The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea．It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used．
It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries．In England，tea didn't appear until around 1660，but in less than 100 years，it had become the national drink．The tea trade from China to Westerm countries took place in the 19th century．This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world．Even though many people now know about tea culture，the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea．

Afternoon Tea
The warm weather outside may look perfect for outdoor exercise． But for those who are not that sporty， what could be nicer than having a relaxing afternoon tea with a few good friends and taking a break from studying？
The concept （概念） of "afternoon tea" first appeared in the UK in the mid﹣19th century． It was introduced in England by Anna Maria Russell， the seventh Duchess of Bedford． The evening meal in her household was normally served fashionably late at 8 p．m．， but she felt hungry at 4 p．m． every day， so she started asking for a tea tray with butter， bread and cakes at that time． Several days later， she found her new habit difficult to break and soon invited her friends to join her． This pause （间歇） for tea quickly became a fashionable social event． During the 1880s，upper class and society women would even change into long dress， gloves and hats for their afternoon tea．
Traditional afternoon tea is a small meal which is normally served from 4 p．m． to 6 p．m． once a day． It uses a three﹣tiered serving tray． The trays carry a variety of foods， such as finger sandwiches， freshly baked scones served with cream and fruit jam， cakes and pastries． Of course， tea or coffee， served with milk and sugar， is also provided．
Traditional afternoon tea is a dainty （讲究的） meal． Therefore， the order of enjoying the food is from the bottom to the top and from salty to sweet． Sandwiches are eaten first， followed by scones， then the sweet snacks like cakes and pastries． When drinking the tea， they taste slowly rather than "glugging" it down． It's also a social activity． As you can see the scene in the TV play "Downton Abbey"， ladies wear pretty clothing， men are dressed neatly and the waiters are well trained and polite．
Nowadays， you can enjoy a traditional fancy afternoon tea in many restaurants and hotels． It is also enjoyed to celebrate a special event such as a birthday， a pre﹣ wedding or baby shower party with a group of friends． So far， afternoon tea activities have become far beyond friends getting together and eating． It has been a part of the traditional culture as well as a fashion for British．

（2）What did the upper class ladies wear during the 1880s？
（3）When is traditional afternoon tea served？
