Afternoon tea in England

    Afternoon tea is the traditional four o'clock tea. That is a small meal, not just a drink. Traditionally it is made up of tea or coffee and either of the following: Freshly baked scones(新鲜烤饼) served with cream and jam. Afternoon tea sandwiches—thinly sliced cucumber(黄瓜) sandwiches with the crusts(面包皮) cut off.

    Afternoon tea became popular in the early 1840s. At that time, English people ate only two main meals each day, so people often got hungry between the two meals. One day, to spend the time, a woman called Anna asked some of her friends for an afternoon tea at about four o'clock. Together with tea, she served her friends cakes and sandwiches. Soon after that, afternoon tea became popular.

    Afternoon tea is not common these days because most adults go out to work. However you can still have afternoon tea at many tea rooms around England.

    Two years ago, a 9-year-old girl from Massachusetts, US, wrote a letter to American President Barack Obama. "Why aren't there any women on the dollars or coins of the United States?" Sofia asked. "There are many women that could be on the dollars or coins because of the important things they've done." To her surprise on April 20, also her 11th birthday, Sofia got a call from the White House telling her that her wish will come true.

    Harriet Tubman, an African-American woman, will be on the face of the $20 bill, and the final design will be released(发布) by 2020, said US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew. This means that Tubman will become the first woman in more than a century and the first black person to appear on the country's currency (货币).

    Tubman was born a slave (奴隶) in 1822. When she was 27, she made her escape. But Tubman wanted to help other slaves become free, so she later returned to the South 19 times and saved more than 300 people. She fought against slavery all her life.

    However, while Tubman is going on the new currency, women still bring home far fewer $20 bills than their men colleagues (同事). According to the Institute for Women's Policy Research, women are paid only 79 percent of what men are paid in the US.

    "Women have long been undervalued (低估)," said Susan Ades Stone from the US. "To put a great woman on the currency can remind us every day of women's value, abilities and contributions. At least it's a step in the right direction.

    My parents told me we were going camping during winter vacation. Camping! They are always trying to get me outside more. It seems like my mom is always saying, "Brian, turn off the computer!" or "Brian, put down your phone and talk to us!" They don't understand that I'm in the zone when I'm using a keyboard, so of course I don't want to stop.

    We drove for an hour to Everglades National Park. As soon as we got there, I couldn't get a signal(信号) for my phone. Suddenly, I was facing three days of no contact with the outside world. My mom tried to tell me I'd like it, "You'll be able to look around more when you're not staring at a screen."

    We took a hike with a ranger(护林者) in the afternoon. He explained a lot to us about the Everglades. At first, I couldn't care less, but after a while I started listening. By the end of the hike, I realized there was more action going on in the park than in most video games.

    We did a lot of walking and that night I was really tired. Even so, I woke up in the midnight, and I was scared at first because of some strange sounds. But then I realized it was the barred owl that the ranger had described. It sounded like it was calling out "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you?" Then I was not afraid anymore and went back to sleep.

    The next two days we did a lot more exploring. I saw that all the land and water and animals were connected in the Everglades. Small fish eat mosquito eggs; large fish eat those smaller fish; and alligators eat the large fish. If you got rid of(除掉) the mosquitoes, you might lose some of the other animals higher up the food chain too.

    After we left, we talked in the car about the Everglades. Right in the middle of our discussion, I heard a familiar sound from my phone. My friend Jeff was sending me a message. I reached for my phone, then put it back down. "Aren't you going to reply?" asked Mom.

    "I will in a little while," I said. My dad and mom looked at each other and just smiled.
