People in Britain were much slower in finding out want tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It couldnt
28、 be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They though it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They so
29、on discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. Dur
30、ing the nest few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.

31、vigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady, her friends also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Bri
32、tons drink tea without milk. At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening.

41、ch a subjective（主观的） matter that we dont usually carry out preference tests for food. The most you say about anyones preference is that its one persons opinion. But because the two big cola companies-Coca-cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively（气势逼人）, weve wondered how big a role taste pref
42、erence actually plays in the choice of brand. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified（确认） themselves as either Coca-cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting. We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke or Die
43、t Pepsi. These were people who thought theyd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand. We at last located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples(样品) of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the o
44、ther. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed（分析）the records to compare the participants（参加者） choices with what mere guesswork could have achieved. Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they co
45、uld recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse- only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly. While both groups did better than chance would predict, near
46、ly half the participants in each group make the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest
47、that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price. 63. According to the passage the preference test was given in order to . A. find out the role taste preference plays in a persons drinking B. find out which cola is more popular to th
48、e drinkers C. show that a persons opinion about taste is mere guesswork D. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks 64. The records in the preference tests show . A. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are peoples two most favorite drinks B. There is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi C. Few people had trouble telling Coca-cola from Pepsi D. Peoples tastes differ from one another 65. It is implied in the first paragraph t
