　　We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most of the people in Europe did not know anything about tea. Some people had heard about it, but very few of them knew 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 had been to India (印度) 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 brought out some tea-leaves and asked them to eat, of course, nobody liked the tea-leaves.

　　At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and said, “Mother, what have you done with the tea?” “I boiled (煮) it as you said.”

　　“And what did you do with the water?”

　　“I threw it away, of course.” answered the old woman.

　　“Now you may throw away the leaves, too.” said her son.

　　The great ship, “Titanic” sailed (航行) for New York on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying more than 2000 people.

　　At that time, she was not only the biggest of all the ships that had ever been built but also was thought to be unsinkable (不沉的), for she had sixteen compartments (防水船舱) with her. Even if four of those were broken, she would still be able to stay on the sea.

　　Four days after setting out, while the “Titanic” was sailing across the ocean (海洋), a very large iceberg (冰山) was suddenly seen. The great ship turned quickly on time, but before long there was a sudden sound from below. And the captain (船长) went down to see what was the matter. The noise was so low that no one thought that the ship had been broken. To the captain's great surprise, the “Titanic” was sinking fast as five of her sixteen compartments had already broken!
