“You know, these cups bring to mind a tea quote(說法) I heard.” Mary’s aunt said.
She poured tea. There were four of them and there were four totally different cups on the table.
They took their tea cups.
“What quote?” Mary asked.
“Well, maybe I should rather say it is a story,” aunt said, “I heard that there was a wise teacher who took all his students for tea. They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different. Each of them took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups of others. The teacher let them do that for a while and then said,‘ Do you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other’s tea cup and I can see some of you with the broken ones are even envious(羨慕的) of the finer cups of others. Is this not so?’ ”
The students agreed, amused by their own behavior.
“You may have wondered why you all had different cups, but I put them here on purpose. You see they represent (代表) life itself. Life is like that tea and the cups are like the physical circumstances(狀況) of your life. You all got the same thing in your cups — tea. And yet you can not truly enjoy it in your envy of another’s cup. It’s just the same with life. You forget to enjoy your own life when you concentrate on envying the circumstances of someone else’s life.
So now, close your eyes, and taste your own tea. Really taste it. And tell me — did it matter from which cup it came from?”
Aunt finished telling her short tea story and they all sat in silence for a while, tasting their tea. A sleepy fly buzzed(嗡嗡作響) past, a bird sang in the tree. And it really did not matter one bit from which tea cup they drank.
When the students found they had different tea cups, they_____________.
A. were satisfied with their own cup
B. were angry about the broken cups they had been given
C. asked the teacher to get new cups for them
D. were curious about the difference between the cups
From the text, we know that _____________.
A. the teacher prepared different tea cups for each student
B. the teacher should have given the students the same cups
C. the teacher made the tea cups different by mistake.
D. each student took their time to choose a cup they liked
According to the passage, by comparing the cups to the physical circumstances of people’s life, the teacher meant that people_______.
A. should try different ways of life
B. shouldn’t focus on envy others’ physical circumstances
C. can never change their physical circumstances
D. should work hard for a better life
In the passage the teacher’s message to the students was that _______.
A. life is hard and boring for everyone
B. it is strange to be envious of the lives of others
C. everyone should learn to enjoy his own life
D. people act differently in different circumstances
What can be the best title for the passage?
A. More than tea in a cup B. The value of tea
C. Tea vs cup D. Enjoying tea with a broken cup

科目:高中英語 來源:2014屆安徽省高三上學(xué)期第三次月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
The Mandarin Chinese word for “cha” is pronounced “t'e” in certain Chinese dialects(方言). Also the Malay word for the leaf is“the”. This word “the” was used to describe both the drink and the leaf. The Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as the Chinese, though pronounced with a slight difference; so these may be the origins of our word tea in the western world.
Tea may have been discovered in 2737 BC by Shen Nong, a Chinese Emperor of the San Huang Period(3,000 - 2,700 BC). He was a scholar, the father of agriculture and the inventor of Chinese herbal medicine. One summer day, while visiting a distant place, he and the court stopped to rest and his servants began to boil water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from the nearby bush fell into the boiling water, and made it a brown liquid. The Emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it very refreshing. The tree was a wild tea tree, and so, tea was created.
The first samples(樣品) of tea reached England between 1652 and 1654. Tea was referred to as the China drink, tcha, chaw, tay, tee, and tea and was at first regarded more as a medicine than a fashionable drink. The original English pronunciation of the word tea was “tay” and can be traced back to around 1655 when the Dutch introduced both word and beverage(飲料)to England. The pronunciation “tee” also originated in the 1600's but only gained predominance(主導(dǎo)地位)after the late 18th century.
By 1650 the Dutch were actively involved in trade throughout the Western world. During that year Peter Stuyvesant brought the first tea to America to the colonists(殖民地定居者)in the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam (later re-named New York).
1.The following information is true EXCEPT ________.
A. The Japanese write the character for tea the same way as we Chinese.
B. It was a Chinese Emperor who first found tea very refreshing.
C. The word “the” was used to describe only the leaf.
D. Tea was discovered quite by chance in history.
2.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A. that Shen Nong, was a famous inventor of Chinese herbal medicine
B. why the Emperor was brave and dared to run risks
C. whether Shen Nong liked drinking boiled water outside the court
D. the way in which tea was created outdoors
3.Which of the following information is FALSE according to the text?
① Tea was at first regarded just as a fashionable drink in England.
② Tea had different names during the early days it reached England.
③ The pronunciation “tee”originated in 1600.
④ Peter Stuyvesant introduced both word “tay” and beverage(飲料)to England.
⑤ The pronunciation“tee”became popular after the late 18th century.
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ④⑤ D. ①④
4.From Paragraph 3 we know ________.
A. that the leaf tea should be put in hot water for drinking
B. that tea was called the China drink, tcha, chaw, tay, tee, t'e and tea in England
C. what the early situation of tea was like in the Western world
D. that tea was first brought to America in the late 16th century
