When I was sixteen, I left school and went to work in a butcher’s shop. The manager was a young man, only two years older than I, but he was not honest. When people asked for good meat, he would sell them something bad. Sometimes, he did not give enough change, and people did not notice that.

One day, just before Christmas, we decided to stop working earlier because we had sold out all our meat, except one small turkey. When I was going to close the door, a woman rushed in and said that she wanted a big turkey. The manager tried to sell her the small one. “It’s too small,” she said. The manager said he would get another one and went to the back of the shop with the turkey. I went after him to see what he was going to do. He pulled the small turkey to make it look bigger, and then came back and said, “Here is a bigger one.”

“Yes,” the woman said, “but not much bigger. I’ll take both of them.”

When tea and coffee were first introduced to Europe in the early eighteenth century, people had different ideas about their use. Some said that tea and coffee were harmful to people and they could cause people to die.

In Sweden, King Gustaf Ⅲ decided to find out whether this was true or false. It happened that there were two brothers who were in prison at the time; they were twins and were almost exactly alike in every way. They had both been sentenced to death. The king decided to let them live if one of them agreed to drink several cups of tea each day and the other, several cups of coffee each day.

Both brothers lived many years without problems of any kind. At last, the brother who had to drink tea every day died at the age of eighty-three; the other died a few years later.

Because of the experiment, Sweden is today one of the countries of the world where much tea and coffee are drunk.

(   ) 78 Tea and coffee were first introduced to Europe about _____ ago.

A 300 years  B 200 years  C 100 years  D 400 years
