Ответ:

Tea is an EXTREMELY popular drink with many people. It is estimated that the consumption of tea in England alone exceeds 165 million cups daily.

Despite this, the drink was virtually UNKNOWN in England until about 400 years ago. The first REFERENCE to tea in England comes in a diary written in 1660. However, its POPULARITY really took off after the MARRIAGE of King Charles II to Catherine of Braganza. It was her great love of tea that made it FASHIONABLE.

It was believed that tea was good for people as it seemed to be capable of reviving the spirits and curing certain minor ILLNESS. It has even been suggested by some historians that it played a significant part in the Industrial Revolution. Tea, they say, increased the number of hours that LABOURERS could work in factories as the caffeine in tea made them  more ENERGETIC and consequently able to work longer hours.

Объяснение:

Чай - ОЧЕНЬ популярный напиток среди множества людей. Считается, что потребление чая только в Англии превышает 165 миллионов чашек в день.

Несмотря на это, в Англии примерно 400 лет назад этот напиток был практически НЕИЗВЕСТЕН. Первое УПОМИНАНИЕ о чае в Англии содержится в дневнике, написанном в 1660 году. Однако его ПОПУЛЯРНОСТЬ по-настоящему возросла после ЖЕНИТЬБЫ короля Карла II на Екатерине Брагансской. Именно ее большая любовь к чаю сделала его МОДНЫМ.

Считалось, что чай полезен, так как он, по-видимому, способен поднимать настроение и излечивать некоторые незначительные ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЯ. Некоторые историки даже предполагают, что он сыграл значительную роль в Промышленной революции. По их словам, чай увеличивал количество часов, которые РАБОЧИЕ могли проработать на фабриках, поскольку кофеин, содержащийся в чае, делал их более ЭНЕРГИЧНЫМИ и, следовательно, способными работать дольше.
