Different ways of drinking tea
 All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
    In China, for example, people always drink tea when they are getting together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.
    Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called tea ceremony(茶道). It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.
    Another tea-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and a little sandwich at tea time. This is so-called “Afternoon Tea” in Britain.
    In the United States, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea— “iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.

Tip in Canada and America
    Canadians and Americans usually tip(给小费) in places like restaurants, airports and hotels, because people who work in these places get low salaries(薪水). A tip(小费) shows that the customer is pleased with the service.
    At airports, porters(行李搬运工) usually get a dollar for each bag. Hotel bellhops(侍者) usually get a dollar for carrying one or two suitcases. Hotel door attendants(服务员) also get about a dollar for getting a taxi or parking a car. Many people also tip hotel maids, especially when they stay in a hotel for several days. They usually leave a dollar for a day.
    The usual tip for other kinds of service? For example, for taxi drivers, barbers, hairdressers, waiters and waitresses? is between 15 and 20 percent of the check(帐单). There is no tipping in fast food restaurants.
