While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of (dry) tea each year.

    Tea only made its way to England in large {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(quantity) in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(sell) more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.

    There are many varieties of tea. They all come from the plant Camellia sinensis (茶树), and are{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(simple) processed in different ways. Black tea mixtures are still{#blank#}4{#/blank#}most common type drunk in the UK. The reason why black tea is dark in colour is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. People usually serve {#blank#}6{#/blank#}with milk or lemon.

    You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pour) into the best china cups with saucers for visitors, but behind closed doors it is likely to be served in a tall cup, and made with a tea bag.

    Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the decrease. Tea sales {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fall) by 6% in 2014 alone.

    Still, what goes around comes around; it's sure{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(become) fashionable again.

    People have all turned to sad music to make themselves feel better at some point in their lives,

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}why does the music with double or even triple(三倍) sadness help drag people out of low spirits?

    A new study throws light on what's going on inside people's brains when they match their music to their feelings, and it looks as if sad music can be enjoyable, rather than{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(simple) depressing. Music of this sort can arouse positive memories in people's life, thus {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lift)their mood.

    Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(existence) two groups of possible explanations for why people enjoy listening to sad music like this——one from social psychology, and the other from cognitive neuroscience(神经学).

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(good) about themselves if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having {#blank#}7{#/blank#}even worse day than they are.

    Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music {#blank#}8{#/blank#} shows their present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they are understood. With their emotions{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.

    So, the{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (conclude) again—sad music does cheer people up, and it works far better than happy music, in most cases.

    Why do different people like different colors? The answer depends largely {#blank#}1{#/blank#} cultural values. To the Egyptians, green is a color {#blank#}2{#/blank#} stands for the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) against evils.

    People's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(choose) of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally {#blank#}6{#/blank#} physically. When{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work) in green environment, people have fewer stomach aches. Red can make a person's blood pressure{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rise) and increase people's appetite. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. And many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(easy) catches a person's eye. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. Therefore,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} you want to eat less, eating from blue plates can help.
