In fact, the English custom of good afternoon tea, it is said, goes back to the late eighteenth century, when Anne, wife of the 7th Duck of Bed fort, decided that she suffered from a sinking feeling around 5 p.m. and needed tea and cakes to bring back her strength.Today the British drink more tea than any other nation-an average of 4 kilos a head per annum, or 1 650 cups of tea a year. They drink it everywhere and at any time.What exactly is tea? Basically it is a drink made from the dried leaves of a plant that only grows in hot countries. The British first heard of tea in 1598 and first tasted it in about 1650. For nearly two centuries, all tea was imported from China, until 1823, a tea plant was found growing naturally in India. Sixteen years later, the first eight chests of Indian tea were sold in London. Today, Londons tea markets deal in more tea from Indian, Sri Lanka (Ceylon), and Africa than from China. But wherever the tea comes from, the rules for making a nice cup of tea are the same.64.

The first eight chest of Indian tea were sold in London inA. 1823 B. 1650 C. 1839 D. 1666Passage 4In USA, even people can be in or out. Americans enjoy following the lives of famous people: actors, sports heroes and politicians. But Americans also pay much attention to people who have no special ability. In 1981, for example, an unknown elderly woman appeared in a TV advertisement in which she looked at very small hamburger and complained loudly, Wheres the beef? These three words made her famous. Suddenly she appeared in magazines and newspapers, and on TV shows. She was immediately popular. She was in.However, this kind of fame does not last long. Such people are famous for a very short time-they are fads (一时流行的风尚). What causes such fads come and go? Although clothing designers influence fads in fashion because they want to make money, this desire for money doesnt explain fads in such area as language. According to an expert, people who follow fads simply want to be part of something new and creative. Fads are not only limited to the USA. but common in any country that has a strong economy. However, in the United States, there is an additional reason for fads: most Americans seem to feel that something is wrong if there isnt frequent change in their lives. Its sometimes difficult to see the difference between a fad and a trend (流行). A fad lasts a very short time and is unimportant. A social trend, however, survives a long time and becomes true part of modern culture. For example, the use of personal computers is a trend; while the use of certain types of computer games could be a fad.69. The
