While many countries love their tea，UK citizens are particularly proud of being "tea people"．The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year．
   Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century．Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time．Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes．
   There are many varieties of tea．Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK．Black tea is dark in colour，because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize （氧化） before drying．This is why we usually serve it with milk，although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon．You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves，served up in a pot，and poured into the best china cups with saucers （茶托） for visitors．
   Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today，but it seems to be on the decrease．The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002，and has been dropping ever since．Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone，and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea．More than ￡1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013，more than twice what was spent on tea bags．
   Still， what goes around comes around； it's sure to become fashionable again．

1．Obviously，most people who try to lose weight generally focus all or most of their attention on the foods they eat.But what about their behaviour？Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight？
   According to the Ohio State University Extension，which summarised the findings，the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts，lunches，and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular.As a bonus，they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruit and vegetables.
   One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television，particularly if they ate while watching TV-and especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m.People who did these things，including simply watching a lot of television，tended to have a higher body mass index （BMI），as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars.
   Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars，while eating a smaller quantity of fruit and vegetables.For the purpose of the study，eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer，eating food provided by colleagues at work，and buying food at convenience stores or gas stations.
   Finally，the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept written track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate，who planned meals，and used meal replacements.Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight，ate less fat and fewer sugars，ate more fruit and vegetables，and engaged in more physical activities.

3．Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland，California，makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures.The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven.Many of them are sweet.For example，the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie.It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame （芝麻） seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside.Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
   The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste.Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies.Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods.Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store.She said： "We get a lot of comments，for example，'The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.' ''Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up." She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries （糕點(diǎn)）.
   Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years.Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new.The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
   "Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression，" said Robert Ku，who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state.He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy：The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
   "The bakers are showing that their foods，which mix cultures，are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored，" Ku said. "They're instead really trying to fuse things together."
