Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforc

55、me other different jobs D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time71.

84、or a few minutes from the tiredness of the day. The English custom of drinking tea has its roots in the 17th and 18th centuries. When first imported to Britain the exotic cha (as the Chinese tea was called) was considered a mans drink to be enjoyed with colleagues at London coffee shops. These were
85、popular meeting places for many walks of life-politicians, poets, actors and writers. Many London clubs began in this manner.In 1706 the fist coffee house that offered tea was Toms Coffee House owned by Tom Twining. He realized that he needed to introduce an added attraction to compete with the other coffee houses in London. And tea was rare, exotic and extremely expensive so that it became an exclusive drink.
