问题     One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
    Afternoon tea
    Anna, an English lady, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day breakfast and a heavy supper. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna had an idea. She invited some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
    Will you come for coffee?
    Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words "Will you come for coffee? " to mean "Would you like to come to my home for a chat? " Normally several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate will be served as well as coffee. And you will be asked what you would like.
    Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
