The well-mannered Englishman at table holds and keeps his knife in his right hand, his fork in his left, cuts his meat and presses his vegetables into his fork. The well mannered American first cuts up all his meat, then places his knife down on the right of his plate, takes his fork in his right hand and with his fork lifts the food to his mouth. He will have coffee half way through his dinner before the pudding. The Englishman drinks his coffee after the dinner. And, of course, Americans are coffee-drinkers rather than tea-drinkers. The Englishman would be surprised at the American's idea of how tea should be made.
The popular method to make tea is to take a cup or a pot of hot water and drop into it a cotton bag with tea leaves in it. For a change they will sometimes put a can of water on the electric stove and then pour the mixture into a teapot, pour it into a cup and drink it without turning a hair.

The idea of daylight saving time started with an American named Benjamin Franklin (1706～1790) .
He explained (解释) how a lot of the money spent on candles used for light (this was before electricity) could be saved if everyone woke up earlier and went to bed earlier.
Even though Franklin's idea had a clear meaning, most people didn't want to get up earlier than they had to. Who would?
It was not until 1907 that an Englishman named William Willet came up with a way to “make”the sunset (日落) later. His idea was to turn clocks forward (向前) by 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, for a total (总计) of 80 minutes.
William' s idea was laughed at, at first. But when World War I started in 1914, many countries decided they had to save energy(能源)for the war.
Daylight saving time has other uses. The more time you spend outside playing, the less time you are spending in front of the computer or the TV. These things also use energy. Also, daylight saving time sometimes causes problems. For example, China used it in 1986--but stopped it in 1991. That was because the temperatures are quite different from North to South and time from East to West.
If the people from northwest part of China use daylight saving time, sometimes they have to get up to work when it is not very bright outside. That will cause some trouble for them. Still, most parts of the world do have daylight saving time, and most people look forward to the extra (额外的) hour of evening light.
(1)Why did Franklin give the idea of daylight saving time?
[ ]
(2) In what year was the idea of daylight saving time put in use?
[ ]
(3) If it is 6:00 now, which is Willet's idea time?
[ ]
(4) When daylight saving time is used ________.
[ ]
A. you can play outside
B. you have more time watching TV
C. you have more time spending in front of the computer
D. you can save energy
(5) Why is daylight saving time not used in China now?
[ ]
A. People wouldn't like to get up earlier.
B. The temperatures are quite different.
C. The country is large.
D. The time is quite different.

I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry．It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the snow is heavy．Of course, you must be careful on a bicycle．Accidents are not the only problem．One day I went shopping with my friends．But when I came back, I found that my bike's front wheel was missing．It was a long walk to the bicycle shop．Now I have three strong locks(锁)．
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys．He says it is better than waiting for a bus．He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all the sitting down is making him fat and lazy．I like riding on my bicycle because I can exercise a lot and get much fresh air, and this makes me feel much younger．
