    　　One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.
    Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and
    beautiful china tea cups.
    　　Afternoon tea
    　　People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of
    afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals each
    day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the
    evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between
    these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of
    inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five
    o'clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash
    down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups
    and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.
    Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continue
    to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
    　　Will you come for coffee?
    　　Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the
    words "Will you come for coffee?" to mean "Would you like to come to my home
    for a chat?" Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft
    drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked
    what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a "coffee" party.
    　　Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
    　　In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places.
    Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to
    drink coffee. In fact the London Stock(股票)Exchange is believed to have
    started from these coffeehouses.
    1. Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she _____.
    A. enjoyed chatting with her friends in the afternoon at home
    B. loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups in the tea party
    C. wanted to share some nice food and some fine tea with her friends
    D. found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals
    2. If someone says to you "Will you come for coffee?", you _____.
    A. will be offered some coffee or some wine
    B. will be asked to have a chat with him or her
    C. are asked what you would like to drink or eat
    D. are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party
    3. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
    A. a new business was started in coffeehouses
    B. businessmen went to coffeehouses just for coffee
    C. coffeehouses are still used by bankers in Britain
    D. people don't go to coffeehouses because of the noise
    4. The best title of the article is _____.
    A. Coffeehouses and Business
    B. British and Chinese Cultures
    C. English Tea and Coffee Culture
    D. The Beginning of Tea and Coffee

    　　Languages keeps evolving(进化、发展), and English is no exception．It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow．

    　　There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time．OK, which has become the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example．

    　　But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thing?

    　　Writing in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK：The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes：“What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion．”

    　　For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch?” you can simply respond “OK”．There you go－no extra opinions．Just straight, plain old OK．

    　　So just where did this rather curious expression come from? The origins of OK have been widely disputed(辩论，争论)．Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product．

    　　Speakers of many different languages have had their say on this question, keen to claim the term as their own．

    　　Writing an article for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states：‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(缩写)OK．” For example：French－“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German－“Ohne Korrektur”,“ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”．

    　　But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression?

    　　Apparently not．

    　　In a speech where he stated that his election(当选)would not be a radical(激进的)result to all problems, President Obama said：“…even though I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威胁)and that we cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said．

    　　So, there you go, straight from the president．It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere．

    (1)

    Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-Qaida

    B．

    Obama likes to use OK when he speaks

    C．

    OK is widely used even on formal occasions

    D．

    the use of OK is encouraged in formal speech

    (2)

    According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which of the following opinions is true?

    [　　]

    A．

    It is easiest way to say．

    B．

    It doesn’t need emotion．

    C．

    It is the most commonly used．

    D．

    It doesn’t use in the formal speech．

    (3)

    What is the best title for the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Why OK is OK everywhere?

    B．

    It’s OK to say OK in the world．

    C．

    Where did OK come from?

    D．

    Everything is going to be OK．
