Tea bag drinking is most westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?

The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.

Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.

However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.

TV was one of the greatest inventions in the 20th century.　 Nowadays，nearly every household has at least one TV set.

Television came into being based on the inventions and discoveries of many scientists. On April 7，1927，the first public television programme was broadcast in the USA. The signals were received on a very small screen. It was only about the size of a business card. The pictures were reddish and not clear.

In the 1930s, bigger screens appeared with black-and-white pictures. However，a snowy picture was the best many TV viewers could hope for. Often,　 they could only get one station，and only when the weather conditions were good.

When World War Ⅱ(1939-1945)began，the development of TV stopped.　 There were a very small number of TV sets in the hands of the public. By 1945，there were fewer than 7,000 working TV sets in the USA. A TV set cost about half the price of a car at that time.

The period after World War Ⅱ is considered the final birth of television.　 Families saved money during the war years，and wanted to buy a lot of things after the war.　 TV sets were soon put onto the "must have" list. 1950-1959 was an exciting period for television. Colour televisions and remote controls came out during this time. By 1955，the cost of TV sets came down a lot. Instead of being equal to half the price of a car, they were now just equal to the cost of a new set of tires. That marks the beginning of the booming age of TV.

1.Which is NOT true about the first public television programme?

A. It was broadcast in the UK.
