四、阅读短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。
Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However，people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.
Tea drinking started in China over 4，000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days，some people drink tea for health，using it to help with stress or losing weight. However，most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact，tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey，tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company，tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK，homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers.
Coffee came much later than tea，just over 1，000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead，they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends.

Some believe people can become successful only by going to college. Do you agree with them? Today’s main character happens to be a young man who didn’t go to college.
He is An Xu，a 26 year-old villager from Guizhou. This young man dropped out of high school in 2011. Like many other drop-outs，he went to big cities for proper jobs. But he failed as a result of his poor education experience. He was upset because he also wanted to live a good life like many other young people. Then in 2019，his mother suggested him study furniture making or carpentry（木工）from a skillful carpenter in their hometown. And he took his mother’s advice.
To his parents’ surprise，An Xu fell in love with what he was learning. However，with the development of the society，fewer and fewer people need the things made by carpenters. With others giving up this traditional art，An Xu kept learning it harder and harder. Besides learning from his teacher，he also turned to books and teaching videos for help. Whatever happened，he just kept learning and practiced over and over again.
After years of ups and downs，he has become a successful person. He can not only make lots of money with what he learns，but also keep the traditional art alive with his hard work and amazing imagination. At the same time，he has lots of fans.
