1．Afternoon tea became popular about 150 years ago，when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for a cup of afternoon tea．Usually taken in the late afternoon，it is also called "low tea" as it is served at a low table．Since this isn't a meal，but rather like a late afternoon snack，finger foods such as sandwiches，scones and pastries are common．People are not only taking tea to get what their bodies need or satisfy hunger，but to take time to relax，chat and enjoy the company of dear friends．In England，the traditional time for tea is four or five o'clock in the afternoon and no one stays after seven o'clock．
This very British tradition is said to have been started around 1840 by Duchess Anna Maria，wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford，England．During the long time between an early lunch and a very late dinner，she experienced what she called "a sinking feeling" at about 4 or 5 in the afternoon．So she asked her serving girl to bring her a pot of tea，a little bread and butter and cake in her room．She found this arrangement so pleasing that she began asking her friends to join her．
High tea，a team often mixed with afternoon tea，usually takes the place of supper．In the past the British working population did not have afternoon tea．They had meals at about noon and after work between five and seven o'clock．The table would be set with dinner foods like meat，bread，butter，potatoes，cheese and of course tea．It was called "high tea" because it was eaten at a high dining table rather than a low tea table．
How much do people enjoy the afternoon tea moment？As a famous writer named Henry James said， "There are few hours in life agreeable than the hour dedicated to （獻(xiàn)給）the ceremony known as afternoon tea．"

2．Walter Cavanagh has nearly 1，500 valid credit cards to his name and holds the Guinness record for the most credit cards．
Mr．Plastic Fantastic - a title given to him by Guinness World Records - is also the proud owner of the world's longest wallet，which can hold about 800 cards．But he uses it only to carry a few cards，while the rest are safely kept in bank safe-deposit boxes．
Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s． "One of my best friends and I made a silly bet（打賭）；the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner，" he said． "I got 143 cards by the end of the year，and my friend collected 138．"
After winning that bet，Cavanagh decided to simply keep going with his unusual collection．He got credit cards from gas stations，airlines，bars，and even ice cream stores - all with kinds of limits，some as low as﹩50．
If there's one card missing from Cavanagh's collection，it's that from the Newberry Group．They refused to give him a card in the early 1970s，even though he'd collected over 100 by then．They said he had too much credit．Therefore，so far he hasn't had a Newberry card in his collection．
Cavanagh hasn't stopped applying for new cards - he's held the Guinness record since 1971 and has no intention of letting go of it．He copies whole pages from a U．S．directory（名錄）of businesses and keeps sending applications．If he is refused，he writes back to the company explaining his goal．But he doesn't count useless cards in his total collection．
Thanks to all the cards to his name，Cavanagh has access to about﹩1.7 million at any moment．Despite this privilege（特權(quán)），he has managed to achieve an excellent credit score．
The retired financial planner and credit expert has only one piece of advice to share： "Never use a card to buy anything you can't pay off in a couple of months．If you don't have the discipline，you shouldn't have the cards．"
（1）When did Cavanagh begin to collect credit cards？
A．When he made a bet with his friend．
B．When he wanted to create a Guinness record．
C．When he owned a very long wallet．
D．When he was treated to dinner by his friend．
（2）Why hasn't Cavanagh collected a Newberry card？
A．His given card got lost．
B．He wasn't allowed to collect one．
C．His application was refused．
D．It isn't worth collecting anyway．
（3）What does Cavanagh usually do when his application is refused？
A．He visits the company himself．
B．He tells the company his goal．
C．He chooses to let go of it．
D．He sends another application at once．
（4）What suggestion does Cavanagh give us in the last paragraph？
A．Never apply for a credit card．
B．Have the power to control ourselves．
C．Use credit cards as often as possible．
D．Collect more credit cards to show off．組卷：2引用：1難度：0.7 -
