She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children’s book series. She knew as early as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science.

The birth of the black tea and the first to reach the Western world from Fujian originated by accident. A Chinese army happened to stop by a tea farm in the late Ming Dynasty (1368—1644) and the soldiers slept on raw tea leaves which were intended for green tea making. Helpless and eager to avoid further loss, the anxious tea producer roasted the withered (枯萎的) tea leaves immediately afterwards, with pine branches, ending up with a deep colored tea, which produced bright red soup, a smoky taste and sweet flavour. To the tea farmer's surprise, the taste and flavour became a hit in the market, and the whole area started to make the kind of tea to satisfy market demand.
Around the end of the 16th century, Dutch business people took tea to Europe. Catherine of Braganza, when she married British King Charles Ⅱ in 1662, took the tea drinking habit from Portugal to the British court.
It was hard to say if people in the United Kingdom had the choice of drinking green tea, because it is said that after long sea transportation, green tea from China naturally fermented (发酵) into black tea. At the time British people still didn't know that black tea and green tea are made from the same leaves, so Scottish botanist Robert Fortune (1812—1880) met with disbelief when he pointed out that only a different processing method made black tea and green tea different.
Fortune was sent by the East India Company to steal tea from China. He took more than 20,000 tea plants and seedlings to India in 1851. Although most of the tea plants he introduced to India are said to have died, trained Chinese tea workers he took there are believed to have equipped the country with the necessary technology and knowledge for tea making.
1.The tea farmer invented red tea ________.
A. to get a better taste
B. to please the soldiers
C. to avoid losing more money
D. to satisfy market demand
2.According to the text, British people ________.
A. preferred green tea to black tea in the 17th century
B. made green tea transported from China into black tea
C. was the first in Europe to have the habit of drinking tea
D. thought black tea and green tea were made from different leaves
3.What did Fortune do according to the text?
A. He trained workers to make tea.
B. He brought tea plants and seedlings to Britain.
C. He learned knowledge and skills to make different kinds of tea.
D. He did something illegal for the East India Company.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. The technology for tea making.
B. The origin of black tea.
C. The tradition of drinking tea in Britain.
D. The difference between black tea and green tea.
