Most of Julie's friends’ parents drank coffee. Some of them liked tea too; but not like her parents did. Jill's family, Billy's family and Tanya's family each had just two or three boxes of tea on a shelf, but Julie's had a whole cabinet(橱柜)for tea. No tea bags in boxes either; her parents drank tea leaves only. "The real tea," her dad called it.
Every Chinese New Year, her parents would have a traditional tea ceremony—"Cha Dao" in Chinese. Her mum said it was an important cultural tradition, but Julie just thought it was B-O-R-I-N-G.
However, now that she was 13. Julie felt different. She decided it was time this New Year to take an interest in her own family and cultural history she actually knew very little about. She only visited her grandparents in China once when she was five years old.
"Why do we have to do this tea ceremony every year? And why do you always say that drinking tea is part of your DNA?" Julie asked her mother.
"Well, the DNA thing is a figure of speech(比喻)," Julie's mother replied. She walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a yellow and red book The Classic of Tea: Origins & Rituals(《茶经:起源与仪式》), written by Lu Yu. "This book is all about how tea is grown, how the leaves are processed(处理), and things like that. I advise you to read this instead of wasting your time with all that TV."
"I watch nothing but Tea TV," Julie joked.
"Right. Well, in the book, Yu describes the tea trees in South China. Back in those days, they would compress(压缩)tea leaves into little cakes—not like a birthday cake, just a little brick of leaves. They'd add hot water to make the drink we know as tea, and the Chinese call..."
"Cha," Julie smiled. Cha was one of a few Chinese words Julie learnt. "Then what about the ceremonies?"
"Well, a Chinese tea ceremony is not just drinking of tea, but a way for families to connect. It's also about peace and enjoyment."
(
A. They like Chinese tea much more than her friends' parents do.
B. They like reading books while her friends' parents always watch TV.
C. They have less interest in Chinese history than her friends' parents do.

### 四、阅读理解
朱莉的大多数朋友的父母都喝咖啡。他们中的一些人也喜欢喝茶，但不像她的父母那样（喜欢）。吉尔的家人、比利的家人和坦尼娅的家人的架子上都只有两三盒茶叶，但朱莉家有一整个橱柜的茶叶。也没有盒装的茶包；她的父母只喝茶叶。“真正的茶，”她爸爸这样称呼它。
每年中国新年，她的父母都会举行一场传统的茶道仪式——中文里叫“茶道”。她妈妈说这是一项重要的文化传统，但朱莉只是觉得它很无聊。
然而，现在她13岁了。朱莉的感觉不同了。她决定今年新年是时候对自己的家庭和她实际上知之甚少的文化历史产生兴趣了。她五岁的时候只去过中国看望过一次祖父母。
“我们为什么每年都要举行这个茶道仪式呢？还有你为什么总是说喝茶是你们基因的一部分呢？”朱莉问她的妈妈。
“嗯，基因这个说法是一种比喻，”朱莉的妈妈回答道。她走到书架前，抽出一本黄红封面的书《茶经：起源与仪式》，作者是陆羽。“这本书全是关于茶叶是如何种植的、茶叶是如何加工的以及诸如此类的事情。我建议你读这本书，而不是把时间浪费在看电视上。”
“我只看茶叶相关的电视节目，”朱莉开玩笑说。
“对。嗯，在这本书里，陆羽描述了中国南方的茶树。在那个时候，他们会把茶叶压缩成小茶饼——不是像生日蛋糕那样，只是一小块茶叶砖。他们会加入热水来制成我们所知的茶饮品，而中国人称之为……”
“茶，”朱莉笑了。“茶”是朱莉学过的为数不多的中文单词之一。“那么仪式是怎么回事呢？”
“嗯，中国的茶道仪式不仅仅是喝茶，还是家庭之间建立联系的一种方式。它也关乎平静和享受。”

D. 他们庆祝所有的中国节日，而她朋友的父母不庆祝。

A. 为了帮助读者理解这个单词怎么拼写。
B. 为了描述朱莉在茶道仪式期间有多兴奋。
C. 为了说明朱莉在茶道仪式期间必须有多安静。
