问题     One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
    Afternoon tea
    Anna, an English lady, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day breakfast and a heavy supper. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna had an idea. She invited some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
    Will you come for coffee?
    Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words "Will you come for coffee? " to mean "Would you like to come to my home for a chat? " Normally several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate will be served as well as coffee. And you will be asked what you would like.
    Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
    In the 17th century in London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.
Why did Anna introduce the idea of drinking afternoon tea?
选项 A、Because she enjoyed chatting with her friends in the afternoon at home.
B、Because she loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups in the tea party.
C、Because she wanted to share some nice food and some fine tea with her friends.
D、Because she found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals.
答案D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“As a result，people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. ”可知，她发现在两顿饭之间的漫长等待期间，人们常常会非常饿，所以A项、B项和C项错误。故选D。
