But as the weather gets colder，she has become lazier. She has bought a mist spray（免洗喷雾）, which allows her
28、 to wash her hair less often. “I would like to have a product that could save me the trouble of putting on make-up,” she told Orient Today, a newspaper office of Henan Television.

29、hinas “lazy economy（经济）”, Chinese people spent 16 billion yuan on products and services online in 2018. The post-1995 generation was the “laziest” as its consumption（消费）increased by 82 percent, compared with that in 2017. The “lazy economy” refers to a new type of consumption which helps to save tim
30、e and effort. According to the report, many people of the post-1995 buy high-tech electronic products such as floor sweeping robots and automatic window cleaners, which save the trouble of doing housework. Meanwhile, take-out food delivery（传递）services are also popular among people born after 1995. Y
31、oung people are willing to spend money on such products because they want to enjoy the valuable spare time after a busy day at work or school, reported Global Times. Because they need to focus on their studies or jobs, these so-called lazy people want to use their own time better. For example,Wei Du
32、o, a 21-year-old college student, is an active user of take-out food delivery services. “I once had a birthday cake sent to my friend who lives far from my home.

33、 to eat the cake in no time,” Wei told the Global Times. While the “lazy economy” might be convenient for young people, it might also create problems. People buy food or other things without leaving home. As a result, they stay at home all day long, playing on computers and smart-phones. According t
34、o Jinan Daily, this situation could develop problems of communicating with others. “The lazy economy is a choice of lifestyle.

Tea the drink Tea the drink is made from the processing of making teas. The basic tea
38、s are also often mixed with other plants like vanilla, mint and melon. Tea the meal Tea the meal on the other hand includes tea the drink as an important part, but mainly refers to social and family get-together. Generally speaking, the tea meal became popular in England first, but spread to English
39、 speaking countries, where tea meals are also held in many different forms. Afternoon tea Afternoon tea（or Low tea）is a light meal eaten at 4:00 pm. It also comes from Britain, though most British people no longer eat such a meal nowadays. Traditionally, loose tea would be put in a teapot with milk
40、and sugar, together with various sandwiches（with cucumber, egg, tuna, ham, and smoked salmon）, scones（with butter, cream and jam）and cakes. Usually, the tea and food would be put on a low table. While afternoon tea used to be an everyday event, nowadays it is more likely to be served in a hotel, caf
41、 , or tea shop, although many British people still have a cup of tea and a piece of cake or chocolate at teatime. High tea High tea is an early evening meal, typically eaten between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm. It would take the place instead of both aftemoon tea and the evening meal. The term comes from th
42、e meal being eaten at the “high”（main）table. It is now largely replaced by the later meal. In recent years, “high tea” has become a word for exquisite （精致） afternoon tea. Actually, such usage is wrong. High tea is not the same as afternoon tea. Main evening meal Tea is the main evening meal, even if
43、 people are not drinking tea. It is traditionally eaten at 5 oclock in the evening, though often it is later, as late as 9 pm.
