  We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most of the people in Europe did not know anything about tea. Some people had heard about it, but very few of them knew what to do with it.

  There is a story about an English sailor (水手) who went to countries in the east, the west and the south. He had been to India (印度) and China. One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them to a “tea party”. When her friends came to the “tea party”, the old woman brought out some tea-leaves and asked them to eat, of course, nobody liked the tea-leaves.

  At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and said, “Mother, what have you done with the tea?” “I boiled (煮) it as you said.”

  “And what did you do with the water?”

  “I threw it away, of course.” answered the old woman.

  “Now you may throw away the leaves, too.” said her son.

  Most American students have said goodbye to fancy(高级的)fruits these days.In school canteens across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their places.

  “People are afraid to spend now,” said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store.“They don't know what the future will bring.”

  During the financial crisis(金融危机), several of the country's biggest banks have been forced to sell or close.This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.

  Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals.In more than two dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts about simply making ends meet.

  The crisis began last year.Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily.Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back.This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money.Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders(国界), the whole world was in trouble.

  This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market.But no one is sure whether it will help or not.President George W.Bush has warned it will take some time.

  Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.
