Question

【题目】注意：认真阅读短文，按规定词数答题。

English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said, “Where there’s tea, there’s hope. ”

Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German online portal for statistics, global tea production reached about 5. 8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage in the world – after water, of course.

In order to celebrate the popular drink, the United Nations General Assembly has designated May 21as International Tea Day.

According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It’s a big part of many cultures around the world.

You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country’s identity. Making Malaysia’s pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects. As an expression of Moroccan hospitality and tradition, mint tea – a mix of green tea, spearmint leaves and sugar – is served during gatherings and negotiations

Apart from its cultural significance, tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire,” the famous Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today.

Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink – it’s a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life.
