Tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have different ideas about tea-drinking.

    Chinese people drink tea at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea with nothing else in it. The Japanese way of having tea is very old and full of meaning. There is even a special room for tea-drinking in Japanese homes. In England, almost everyone has a cup of tea in the late afternoon. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes and cookies with tea. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. It's faster and easier. They drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. In summer they drink cold tea or iced tea.

    We have to be fit, no matter (不管) what age we are. It's very important for kids. That's w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} they have P.E. class.

    In Britain students have two hours of P.E. each week. P.E. includes sit-ups, press-ups (俯卧撑) and skipping rope.

    Students also p{#blank#}2{#/blank#}football, basketball and cross-country running. In summer kids run and do the high and long jumps.

①Have you ever thought about what's more important, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You might have noticed many people choosing style over comfort and some even go to extremes(极端)to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn't everything. It's more important to be healthy.

②Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets(日常饮食) that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?

③Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls. Some even wear tight(紧的)clothes that influence blood circulation(循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?

④Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health, To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?

⑤So, let's rethink what's really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don't tell us anything about a person's character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets，let's eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance(外貌), but by who you are as a person.

In the year 2070，most of you will be more than 50 years old.The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time.To catch people's eyes and increase the numbers of passengers，European airline （航空公司）（发布）easyJet 2070：The Future Travel Report.Let's take a look at some mind—blowing ideas.

① ▲ 

Paper passport will be a thing of the past.You will use"heartbeat passport" instead.According to experts，the machine will count how many times the heart beats in a minute，then it will tell who you are.It doesn't work hard because everyone's heart beats differently.

② ▲ 

The seats on the plane are only one size，which can't make passengers satisfied.But in the future，you'll be able to book a seat according to your body type.The seat might even be able to cool or warm you if you want.There will also be no more screens on the back of the seats.A special light from the seat could show the latest movie s straight in front of your eyes.

③ ▲ 

If you like to visit great places of interest，the AR glasses will help you enjoy the journey.By wearing the AR glasses，you can see what happened at a historic place（战役）.You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.

Are you looking forward to having those changes in the year 2070？What other changes do you think about during the flight？

Do you know what an e—friend is? You make a friend with him or her by sending e—mails. Having e—friends is good for you. You can tell them your family, problems and good things. They can teach you many things and help you get out of problems. Some of them may send you e—cards on your birthday.

If your e—friends come from English—speaking countries, they will help you learn English. Writing to them in English is good for your English learning. Some of them may invite you to their countries, and take you to visit their countries.

Where can you make e—friends? You can visit some websites. There are many boys and girls, and you can make friends with some of them.
