     We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most of the people in
Europe(欧洲) did not know anything about tea. Some people heard about it, but very few
of them know what to do with it.
     There is a story about an English sailor(水手) who went to countries in the east, the west
and the south. He went to India and China. One day he came home and brought some tea as
a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them to a "tea party".
When her friends came to the "tea party", the old woman gave them brown tea-leaves. The old
woman's friends began to eat them. Of course, nobody liked the tea-leaves.
     At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and said, "Mother,what did you do
with the tea?"
     "I boiled it,as you said."
     "And what did you do with the water?"

We all know who Benjamin Franklin was. He was a very famous American statesman. He was also the first man to discover electricity. Franklin liked to study and to learn about new things. One day he heard from a friend that something black in colour holds the heat better than something white in colour. Franklin wanted to find out if this was true or not.

There was snow on the ground at the time. So he put two large pieces of cloth over the snow. One piece of cloth was black in colour, the other piece was white. Then he waited until the sun began to shine. After several hours he looked under the pieces of cloth and saw that the snow under the black cloth melted much faster than the snow under the white cloth. This proved to him that the black cloth held the heat better than the white cloth.

Soon after this, people began to wear white hats and white clothes during the summer because they were cooler.

根据短文内容判断正(T)误(F):

We often see people in different offices wear different clothes. In America, a businessman goes to work in a dark suit, with black shoes, socks and a tie. A reporter goes to work in old blue jeans, a work shirt and sneakers(运动鞋). These two kinds of clothes are suitable for their work.

If you are a college student who will leave school soon, before starting a job, you have to buy some new clothes. And you’d better have a look at“what everyone else is wearing”in the office. On certain(某种) kinds of business occasions, the men wear only suits with white shirts and dark ties. On others, men can wear jackets.

Dressing is very important. Without it, there is no successful fashion. It would be helpful if everyone looks at himself in the mirror before leaving home every morning.

根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)。

1.It’s very common to see people in different offices wear the same clothes.

2. If you are a student, you’d better know “what everyone else is wearing” in an office before working there.

3. Suits with white shirts and dark ties are for men on certain kinds of business occasions.

4. A reporter often goes to work in a dark suit.
