★A★
We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most of the people
in Europe (欧洲) did not know anything about tea. Some people heard about it, but
very few of them know what to do with(处理) it. There is a story about an English
sailor (水手) who went to countries in the east, the west and the south. He went to
India 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 offered (给) them brown
tea-leaves (茶叶). The old woman's friends began to eat them. 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.
1. Most of the people in Europe ___.
