27、at tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive.

28、the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.

29、to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.

31、y also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.

36、un to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve peoples health.
