問題詳情:
A. One reason tea became more popular than coffee lies in the nature of its preparation.
B. Likewise, in many grand hotels, tea is a more popular indulgence than a three-course dinner.
C. A “mania for thinness” sent it into decline after the Second World War, says Helen Simpson, author of a book on the subject.
D. The cheapest way to observe the tradition, of course, is at home.
E. All cakes and Pastries are perfect in size and include some very unique flavours!
AB. These days afternoon tea offers tradition with a modern twist.
When tea leaves were first imported to Britain in the 17th century, only a few could afford them. By the 18th
century it had become the democratic drink of the everyman; but
afternoon tea as a distinct ceremony, complete with pastries, was a
Victorian invention.
78 .
The gradual infiltration of American coffee culture also played a
part, as did the rise of women in the workforce (less than for
sipping), the widening range of social haunts and the ebbing of
formality (the Ritz still bans jeans and “sports shoes”).
79 .
Caffeine-free black tea and onion bread are recent additions to the
menu. A century ago the Ritz was one of the few places an unmarried
young woman could meet a man without a chaperone, says Ms. Simpson;
women still dominate the tea guests, but most now leave their menfolk
behind. And the quintessentially British experience is typically served
by tall-coated waiters from continental Europe.
Such luxury at a time of economic depression may be surprising. But tea seems to be an austerity-era way to splash out. At £42 ($67) a head, tea at the Ritz is a small part compared with lunch, let alone a room. 80 “Tea is a celebratory meal but it’s often cheaper and doesn’t take as long”, says Christina Norton.
And
the afternoon tea fashion is trickling down. For less grand hotels, it
is a neat way to fill a formerly dead zone in mid-afternoon. 81 .
The Great British Bake Off, a television programme devoted to cupcakes
and crumpets, recently ended a second series. Sales of cookie cutters,
cake stands and “vintage-style cake tins” have shot up, according to a
department store. A pottery firm says tea, “the big thing of the
moment”, has received demand for its wares. Times may be tough, but
Britons are still eating cake.
