People all around the world drink tea. But people have very different ideas about drinking tea in different countries.
In China, for example, people always drink tea when they are getting together. They usually serve the guests with tea. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea with nothing else in it.
Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called 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-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and sandwiches at tea time. This is the so-called “Afternoon Tea” in Britain.
In the United States, people drink tea mostly at breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Making tea with the bags is faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea—“iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.
阅读短文，判断下列句子的正（T）误（F）。
1.The Chinese drink tea at the same time of the day.
