题文

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly becau tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even tho people who could afford to have it nt from Holland did so only becau it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to u it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they rved them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people ud to spread the ud tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East Indian Company began to bring it direct from China early in the venteenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it. At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to e what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Becau she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British drink tea without milk. At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.67．Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?A.
