    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 because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used 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 India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth 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 see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because 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 Britons 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.

    1.Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?

    A．The Britons got expensive tea from India.

    B．Tea reached Britain from Holland.

    C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.

    D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.

    2.This passage mainly discusses_____________.

    A．the history of tea drinking in Britain

    B．how tea became a popular drink in Britain

    C．how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea

    D．how tea-time was born

    3.Tea became a popular drink in Britain.

    A．in eighteenth century

    B．in sixteenth century

    C．in seventeenth century

    D．in the late seventeenth century

    4.People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because.

    A．it tasted like milk

    B．it tasted more pleasant

    C．it became a popular drink

    D．Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copy the way she drank tea

    5.We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of　________.

    A．a famous French lady

    B．the ancient Chinese

    C．the upper social class

    D．people in Holland

    When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’ s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohn.

    President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

    In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student's correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

    Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de (of). This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father's family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

    Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed. Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

    67. The story of Bill Clinton is used to__________.                         

    A. improve US-Korean relations                     B. introduce the topic of the text

    C. describe his visit to Korea                        D. tell us how to address a person

    68. The word "gears" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_______.             

    A. action plans                                            B. naming customs    

    C. travel maps                                             D. thinking patterns

    69. When a woman marries in Korea, she ___________.                       

    A. continues to use her family name                      B. uses her husband's given name

    C. shares her husband's family name                 D. adds her husband's given name to hers

    70. To address a married woman properly, you'd better______.                  

    A. use her middle name                   B. use her husband's first name

    C. ask her which name she likes              D. change the order of her names
