         People drink tea in a lot of countries in the world. But tea doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. In
      different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
         In China, people always drink tea when they are getting together. The Chinese drink it at any time of
     the day at home or in teahouses. They prefer plain tea, with nothing else in it.

     has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also
      eat cakes and cookies at tea time. This is so-called "afternoon tea" in England.
         In America, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to
      make tea. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea-"iced tea". Sometimes they drink iced tea from
      cans (金属罐).

         People say bees can always find the way home. Wherever you put them, they can come back. John
     Smith didn't believe this, so he did an experiment (实验).
         He caught 20 bees under the eave (屋檐) of his house and put them in a bag. He asked his daughter to
      wait there and see if the bees would come back. He marked (作标记) the bees and took them two
     miles away. Then he opened the bag and let the bees out.
         When he got home, his daughter ran to him and shouted, " Two bees have come back." Both John and
      his daughter were very excited. He went to see them at once. Yes, two bees were there. They flew about
      two miles in three quarters. And they came back with pollen (花粉) on their bodies. It was getting dark.
      No more bees came back home. John became worried.
          The next morning, he came to see the bees again. To his surprise, another fifteen bees came back with
      pollen on their bodies. As a result, John believed that bees really have the ability of finding their way
     home.

         Have you ever met anyone of your age from America? Do you think you would have a lot in common
      with middle school students there?
          With only one look, you can see lots of differences. For example, classes in American schools are
      smaller than yours. Most classes have no more than 30 students. Most students in the US don't wear
     school uniforms. And they don't have group exercises each day as the way you do. If they see your
     exercises, they will think you are very strange!
          In fact, Chinese students and American students have very different lives.
          What's the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning? It's probably your lessons at
     school. Chinese students are very hard-working, always under lots of pressure (压力) from their parents
     and teachers.
          Chinese students study hard at night, and sometimes even on the weekend because their exams are
      very important.
          For Chinese students, school is life, but not for American students. They don't have to worry about
     passing exams all the time, so they can spend time in and out of school doing things they enjoy. Kids do
      different things for fun.
          Many American teachers think that just studying hard isn't enough to make a good student. They
     encourage (鼓励) students to try lots of different things.
    Differences US China
    classes  smaller, less than __1__ bigger
     uniforms __2__ wear school uniforms 
    __3__  not the only important thing very important 
    pressure  not much __4__
     free time __5__ study hard
