23、 and 1970s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britains favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britains favourite drink.

As tea became much cheaper dur

28、ing the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society.

Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most

29、people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break” is an institution in British offices and factories.

33、ould resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

34、e areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
