On warm winter days, Yang Liheng, 89, enjoys sitting by the window and looking through old photos. These photos bring him joy and happiness once more.
For Yang, one of the long-expected activities during the Spring Festival is to take photos with family members. On the early morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year when the whole family reunite, he would dress up and wait for the photo to be taken.
Yang became a photographer in the late 1950s. With his camera, Yang recorded the great changes of his hometown over time. “I had a painful childhood, but I got a chance to be a photographer after the founding(成立)of the People’s Republic of China.” Yang told Beijing Review. “I want to record, in the form of photographs, the local customs, the scenes and people’s brave spirit of fighting against the hard conditions here in my hometown.”
“I used to take pictures for everyone else, but seldom turned my camera at my family members,” Yang said. “My grandson gave me the idea to record the growth and development of my own family.” Taking family photos then became a tradition for Yang’s family. Though now some of his grandchildren are working and living in other cities, they try their best to return home during the Spring Festival and prepare for the special moment.
Last year was an important year for Yang Liheng. Most of his photos were displayed in Yinchuan to show the development of the area over the past sixty years.

Footprint means the influence that a person’s or organization’s activities have on the environment. Simply understanding it is very useful to us. (Let’s take the example of Mr. Brown’s footprints.)
Water footprint
Water is the source of life. We use water directly for drinking, cooking and washing, but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food, paper and cloth. A water footprint tells us how much water is being used. It can help us come up with ways to save water. You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat, the things you buy and even the energy you use.
Food |
Water Footprint |
Mr. Brown’s Water Footprint |
|
an apple |
70 litres(升) |
breakfast: a hamburger, a cup of coffee lunch: a cup of coffee, a sandwich, an apple dinner: vegetable salad, 0.2 kilo of beef |
|
a cup of coffee |
140 litres |
||
a kilo of beef |
15, 500 litres |
||
one hamburger |
2, 400 litres |
(Chart I) (Chart Ⅱ)
Carbon(碳) footprint
A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO₂ a person or organization produces. We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming (全球变暖). Most people are surprised when they see how much CO₂ their activities create. Then they begin to think about changing their daily habits to reduce(减少) their carbon footprints. For example, they can walk instead of using a car.
Carbon Footprint (Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO₂) |
Mr. Brown’s Carbon Footprint |
|
travel 10 to 12 km by train or bus drive 6 km by car produce 5 plastic hags use your computer for 32 hours |
drive to work 24 km drive to the supermarket 5 km use 5 plastic bags for shopping use his computer for about 8 hours |
(Chart III) (Chart IV)
How to reduce your water footprint and carbon footprint to be greener
Tip 1: Save water and electricity
When you are at home, don’t leave the water or lights on when you don’t need it.
Tip2: __▲__
Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat. The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO₂.
Tip 3: Buy less
The more we buy, the more we throw away later. Before you buy something, think about whether you really need it.
Everyone plays a role in making a greener Earth. If you know about your footprints well, you can think up more ways to protect the environment.

Since tea spread from China worldwide, it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world. Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England.
The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared.
Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess(公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 p. m., which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal.
With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.
Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”.
Others soon picked up on the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the sitting room between four and five o'clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion.
Today’s afternoon tea is simpler than traditional afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed—the meaning of afternoon tea.

A. |

C. |
In the mid-19th century. |
(2)In the third paragraph, what does the “two main meals” probably refer to(指)?
A. |
A lunch and a late dinner. |
B. |
A breakfast and a mid-afternoon meal. |
C. |
A mid-morning meal and a late dinner. |
(3)Why did Anna ask for tea and cakes in the afternoon at first?
A. |
Because she felt hungry. |
B. |
Because she loved drinking tea. |
C. |
Because she needed to treat friends. |
(4)What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A. |
Afternoon tea has spread all over the world. |
B. |
People used to drink tea more often than now. |
C. |
Afternoon tea gives people a chance to communicate. |
(5)What is the best title of the passage?

Advantages of Drinking Tea |
