All around the world,people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

  In China,for example,tea is always served when people are getting together. The Chinese drink it any time of the day,at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain,with nothing else in it.

  Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony (儀式) .It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in the Japanese homes.

  Another teadrinking country is England. In England,the late afternoon is "teatime". Almost everyone 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,cookies (甜餅) and little sandwiches at teatime. This is so called "Afternoon Tea" in Britain.

  In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer,many Americans drink cold tea―"iced tea". Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans (罐) ，like soda(蘇打水) .

 Most teens need more than 9 hours of sleep each night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble in sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect everything from our feelings to how well we focus on tasks like studying. It can also influence sports performance,increase our chances of getting sick,and may lead to weight gain in some people.

  How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

  Be active during the day. Get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don't work too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up before it slows you down.

  Say goodnight to electronics. Experts suggest using the bedroom for sleep only. At least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.

  Keep a sleep routine. Going to bed at the same time every night helps the body expect sleep. Creating a set bedtime routine can improve this relaxation effect. Reading,listening to music,spending time with a pet,writing a diary or doing anything else can relax you.

  Expect a good night's sleep. Instead of worrying that you won't sleep,remind yourself that you can. Say "Tonight,I will sleep well" several times during the day.  It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle exercises before bed.

  Everyone has a sleepless night once in a while. But if you regularly have trouble in sleeping and you think it's affecting your mood or performance,talk to your doctor.


(   ) 1. The underlined word "affect" means         .

   A. increase   B. spread   C. influence   D. waste
