Sometimes we find that the red cross has been used as a decorative symbol or to represent first aid stations but this is actually wrong because using the red cross for anything other than the international or

64、ganisation is actually against the law. Even though we often associate a red cross with hospitals and medical treatment.

Another important part of the Christmas season is music. Among traditional carols, one of the most popular is “Silent N

Still, they treat it as a special day. And it is hard to think of anyone that Christmas is more special for than children. Of c

452、 of afternoon tea? Lets sum up a few things you need to know about this traditional English custom. While the tradition of drinking tea dates back to more than 3,000 BC in China, it was not until the mid 17th century that the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared in the UK. In 1840, Anna Maria R

453、ussell, started asking for a tea tray with butter, bread and cakes at 4 pm every day, as she found she was hungry at this time and the evening meal was served late at 8 pm. Traditional afternoon tea, which is typically served between 4 pm and 6 pm, is technically a small meal, not a drink. It consis

454、ts of a selection of sandwiches and fruit jam and cakes. Of course, tea or coffee, served with milk and sugar, is also provided. Then, here is the etiquette of afternoon tea.1. When you drink your tea, take small sips rather than “glugging” it down. The actual drinking of tea can take place througho

455、ut the “meal”. 2. Similarly, the food served should be eaten in a restrained fashion as well. Sandwiches are eaten first, followed by the sweet snacks, such as cakes, pastries and scones. 3. If you take milk with your tea, pour the tea first and then add milk. 2015安徽高考模拟试题优选30套 英语试题（三十）Text 1M: Hi,
