  All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

  In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouse. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

  Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony (仪式). It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

  Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “ teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a tea pot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.

  In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In the summer, many Americans drink cold tea----“ iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.

阅读理解。
  One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.
Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and
beautiful china tea cups.
  Afternoon tea
  People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of
afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals each
day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the
evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between
these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of
inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five
o'clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash
down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups
and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.
Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continue
to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
  Will you come for coffee?
  Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the
words "Will you come for coffee?" to mean "Would you like to come to my home
for a chat?" Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft
drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked
what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a "coffee" party.
  Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
  In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places.
Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to
drink coffee. In fact the London Stock(股票)Exchange is believed to have
started from these coffeehouses.
