　　Tea bag drinking is most Westerns’ favorite way of drinking tea．Do you know how it came about?

　　The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller．He was sending out free tea in silk(絲綢)bags for people to try．People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water．The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup．They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose(散的)tea again．

　　Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags．As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze(薄紗)and later paper．In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag．Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85％ of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags．

　　However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea．This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags．But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go．

Train-spotting

　　Many people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Train spotting starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us really know what train-spotting is all about?Now this is not considered cool in town and the word “train-spotter” in Britain is related to “geek” or “nerd”(someone who seems very ridiculous)．But is this reputation really deserved?

　　First of all, let’s see what train-spotting is．It is said that there are some 100, 000 train spotters in the UK．Exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the number of each train that leaves and arrives and write it down．The eventual aim is to have seen every train in the country．

　　Being crazy about railways and trains is not modern and it dates back to 1804．As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow?Is this any stranger than people who love cars?

　　So, what do you need to be a train-spotter?Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers．Other equipment(裝備)includes hot tea in a thermos, a camera and some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you don’t want to risk the delights of railway station food．

　　It’s interesting to note that despite the “bad name” of train-spotting, there have been famous railway lovers in history, such as Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed them regularly, especially The 39 Steps．There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a strange phenomenon(現(xiàn)象)in Britain．

　　One glance at the US train stations should be enough to convince you that train-spotters there are alive and well．In America, they try to call rail lovers “train-fans” and talk of “train-fanning”．Don’t let this fool you－these people are train spotters and there are a lot of them．Each month, two million pages are visited on the website TrainWeb．org．

Social Customs

　　The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. This is often true for women as well as for men. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to a woman and so will most Americans.

　　Neither the British nor the Americans object to (反對) standing in a queue, at the post office, the movies, the bank or anywhere. Promptness is important both in England and America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for seven o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time or calls up to explain why he will be late or why he can't come. Of course, these two peoples have other customs that are different: the Americans have “coffee breaks”, the British more often have “tea breaks”, for example. But there is much more that they have in common.
