Today when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china (瓷器) tea cups. Read the passage and answer the following questions. 1. Why did the Duchess invite friends to come for tea in the afternoon? In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last several hours in the evenings. As a result, people often got hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, the Duchess came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. 2. Why afternoon tea was important? In order to make this afternoon tea important, fine china cups and plates and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life of wealthy people in modern Britain. 3. What does “Will you come for coffee?” mean? It means “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” 4. Apart from drinking coffee, what did people do in the 17th century coffeehouse?
