We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most of the people in Europe (欧洲) did not know anything about tea. Some people heard about it,but very few of them know 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 went to India 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 offered (给) them brown tea-leaves (茶叶). The old woman's friends began to eat them. 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.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping — watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made＄100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about＄20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24－hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping “junk on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
Teleshopping is_______ in Europe.

A．not popular

B．growing　

C．not possible

D．cheap

People like teleshopping because it is_________.

A．American

D．more popular

Some Europeans don’t like teleshopping because they________.

A．don’t like to buy things

B．don’t watch TV

C．believe the things sold on TV are expensive

D．think the things sold on TV are bad quality

In Germany, teleshopping may_________.

A．help businessmen get more money	B．keep the shops open longer

The best title of this passage is_________.

A．American Teleshopping	B．Teleshopping Companies
