At first, I was a bit perturbed. From all that I had heard about cats being selfish
2、 creatures. I wondered if I would be able to deliver the goods. I had been asked to stay at the cat-owners place for the fortnight. The first day, all three, Mercedes, Mio and Casper, seemed to be suspicious(怀疑)of me. I fed them, disposed of their litter and got to work. Soon, however, they began to
3、 look forward to my returning, and would mew happiness hearing the key turn in the door-lock. As our familiarity grew, I began to playfully bid goodnight to the cats, sometimes adding aloud in Swedish that I had to wake up at 7:00 a.m. I forgot to set the alarm on most nights, but faced no problems,
4、 because at exactly 7:00 a.m. no exaggerations hereI would hear the sounds of gentle mewing and scratching outside my bedroom door. Then, there was one evening, when I felt a bit under the weather. Sitting on the sofa, mentally worn out and physically exhausted, I stared blankly into space, when a g
5、entle tapping landed on my cheek. I found Casper standing on the sofas armrest peering into my eyes. He seemed to be asking me to cheer up, switch off for the evening and look forward to a better tomorrow. On the evenings of the last few days, all three cats began to rush over and sit close to me on
6、 the sofa and snooze against my feet or on my lap. They knew perhaps that our time together was nearing its end and that they would not see me again. They all came over to the door when I left the next morning with my things packed. They just stood there and mewed for a while, and as I walked around

The cat was reminding him of bedtime.BAfternoon tea, the most typical of English customs, is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively ne
9、w tradition. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s thanks to King Charles II and his wife, and it was not until the mid-19th century that the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared. Afternoon tea was introduced by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. At
10、that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight oclock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four oclock. This became a habit of he
11、rs and later she began inviting friends to join her. This palace tea party was such a success that it soon spread to London and other places in UK as a fashionable social event. During the 1880s, upper-class women would dress up for their afternoon tea, also known as “low tea” because tea was taken
12、while sitting in low, comfortable chairs or sofas. While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class, “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families. During the second half of the Victorian Period, working families would return home late tired and exhausted. As the most important meal
13、 of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits. Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea. To experience the best of the afternoon tea tradition, treat yourself with a trip to one of Lo
14、ndons finest hotels. There are also a wide selection of old-fashioned tearooms offering afternoon tea experience. We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London.

Walking across the stage to collect a degree, one crosses the line that divides students and alumni(校友). Graduation is when most graduates take their fi
19、rst baby steps toward their chosen career. Yet many British students face a striking dilemma when they approach this stage. The highly competitive market means companies can afford to offer low-paying and even non-paying internships(实习)and work placements to the overabundance of ex-students seeking
20、employment. With heavy student debt weighing down on their shoulders, graduates feel anxiety, so the future of working for nothing isnt attractive. Their solution is to secure a job, which is unrelated to their study, yet that guarantees a regular income. A recent survey by the New College of the Hu
21、manities found that only half of all UK graduates were working in a field related to their degree after leaving university. Whats more, one in three graduates ticked financial reasons for switching jobs. “With the recent economic climate and a number of new growing industries, the traditional career
22、 path has gone forward into more of a long and winding road,” said Swatee Jasoria, director of professional development at the college, to The Independent. While postgraduate study remains a popular choice (24 percent of final year students aimed to go on to further study), many of those hoping to d
23、ive into the labor pool face the graduate dilemma: earn an internship thatll open up the pathway to your chosen career, without pay; or set your early career aside while settling for an unrelated job, with the security of a guaranteed income.8.
