I’m sorry to disappoint, but it’s simply not true. We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for the nation’s favorite drink. British people will drink tea all day whether morning, noon or night (my mother makes her first cup at 6 a.m.). There are reasons for the confusion surrounding “teatime”, however.
“Tea” is widely used as a name for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Usually it is the main meal of the day, eaten between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. So, “teatime” refers to the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening meal is often called dinner, while dinner in the north is the midday meal. Confused? Many heated debates can happen between southerners and northerners about the right name. What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I’m afraid. Tea breaks are simply an opportunity to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes. During this time you can drink whatever you like. Also a small snack, like biscuits, is usually eaten. The best time for a tea break is mid-morning around 11 a.m. or mid-afternoon around 3 p.m.
But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea, cakes, and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually served during special activities such as a birthday or engagement (订婚) party. Tea rooms are also very popular with tourists and are definitely worth a visit.
Teatime, tea breaks, afternoon tea... how could you possibly get muddled up (混淆)?

Online Degree Programs Face Barriers to Success
The United States Department of Education has noted the growing popularity of online degree programs, known as ‘distance education’. It reported that 14 percent of all students at American colleges and universities studied through such programs in 2014.
Leanne is one of those students. Her goal was to earn a master’s degree in nursing from George
Washington University in Washington, D.C. She signed up for the university's online program in 2014.
Leanne chose to study online for many of the same reasons that other students do. She was working full-time, and did not want to move away from her job and family to continue her education. Leanne liked that she was able to study whenever and however much she wanted.
But while the program met her needs at first, Leanne feels there are things she did not get from studying online. She earned her undergraduate degree from a traditional, face-to-face study program at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Leanne says physically being in a classroom helps build a strong connection between students and their professors. She says in some ways she liked taking control and leading her own studies. But many times, she also felt lost without that special connection.
“In the end, there’s really no substitute for the exchanges that actually happen in a classroom. So if I were to do it again, I don’t know whether I would have made the same decision.”
In addition, it may not be just a student’s learning that suffers in a distance learning program. There is some concern about what future employers think about an online degree.
Public Agenda is a nonprofit research organization in the United States. In 2013, the group reported on a study of over 600 employment specialists working for American companies.
Fifty-six percent said they were more likely to offer jobs to people with a more traditional college experience, where students and teachers meet face-to-face. Forty-two percent said they thought students in online programs learned less than those in traditional programs. And 39 percent of those questioned said they thought online programs were easier to complete.
It is hard for people to change their ideas about higher education from a professor teaching students in a classroom. Also, some employers may have limited understanding of what is possible through an online program. Many people think studying online just means watching videos of teachers talking. Yet technology is always changing. Computer programs may someday educate and test students in ways human teachers cannot.
However, until there are widely accepted standards for online programs, critical opinions about what online programs can do will likely remain. There is still a long way to go before online and traditional programs operate on the same level.
1. Students may choose online study programs because of the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.
A. they can’t stop working to continue their education B. they don’t like to take control of their own studies C. they can decide time and place for their studies D. they don’t want to be away from their family
2. The underlined word “substitute” in Paragraph 6 probably means ______ A. replacement
B. use
C. agreement
D. need
3. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. students in online programs can’t find jobs after graduation
B. Leanne thought online programs suited her better than traditional ones C. widely accepted standards will win more supporters for online programs D. computer programs have more advantages in educating and testing students 4. What’s the author’s attitude towards online programs? A. Subjective.
