Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both
popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually. Although much
of this tea is consumed in Asian, European, and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share.
According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the
U.S. population on any given day. Black tea or green tea – iced, spiced, or instant – tea drinking has
spurred a billiondollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout
Asia.
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in
tropical regions. On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new
buds called flush appear, they are plucked off by hand. Even in today’s world of modern agricultural
machinery, hand harvesting continues to be the preferred method. Ideally, only the top two leaves and a
bud should be picked. This new growth produces the highest quality tea.
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18
to 20 hours. During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp. Next, depending on the type of tea
being produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under
controlled conditions of heat and humidity. For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain
their green color, and the fermentation process is skipped. Producing black teas requires fermentation
during which the tea leaves begin to darken. After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its
rich brown or black color.
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was
discovered in 2737 B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his
drinking water as it was boiling over a fire. As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting
liquid and proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing. Though this account cannot be
documented, it is thought that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia,
then to Europe, and ultimately to America colonies around 1650.
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not
necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake. Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and
therefore easier on the stomach. Others have become interested in tea drinking since the National Cancer
Institute published its findings on the antioxidant properties of tea. But whether tea is enjoyed for its
perceived health benefits, its flavor, or as a social drink, teacups continue to be filled daily with the
world’s most popular beverage.
Câu 12: Why does the author include statistics on the amount of tea produced, sold, and consumed?
A. To demonstrate tea’s popularity
B. To explain why coffee is not the most popular beverage worldwide
C. To show the expense of processing such a large quantity of tea
D. To impress the reader with factual sounding information
Câu 13: Based on the passage, what is implied about tea harvesting?
A. It is no longer done in China
B. The method involves trimming the uppermost branches of the plant.
C. The method has remained nearly the same for a long time.
D. It is totally done with the assistance of modern agricultural machinery.

correct answer to each of the questions from 42 to 48.
Thanksgiving is a holiday in the United States and Canada; it is closely related to European harvest
festivals.
The first Thanksgiving was held in 1621. After a good harvest, the Pilgrim Fathers, who had travelled
to America aboard the Mayflower, organised a great feast. They also invited their Indian friends, who had
helped the Pilgrims through their first year in the New World.
After that first Thanksgiving, the holiday was not observed regularly and not usually in autumn. In
1863, however, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed an annual Thanksgiving Day to be celebrated on
the last Thursday of November. In 1939, President Roosevelt changed the date to the penultimate
Thursday of November to enlarge the Christmas shopping period, which starts after the Thanksgiving
celebrations. Not all states followed Roosevelt’s declaration though, and so in 1941 the United States
Congress finally decided to celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November (which
sometimes is the last, sometimes the penultimate Thursday).
In the United States, Thanksgiving lasts four days now because most people also get the Friday off.
The holiday is celebrated with family and friends, and a huge dinner is served in the early afternoon or
evening. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is a roasted turkey served with stuffing, mashed potatoes,
cranberry sauce, green beans and various pies for dessert.
In Canada, the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1710. For about 200 years, it was held for example
when a royal child was born or when a battle was won. It became an annual holiday in 1931 and is now
celebrated on the second Monday of October.
