Read aloud: the time it takes to drink tea
HSKK Advanced read-aloud: an original short text about tea and time. About 3 minutes to prepare, 2 minutes to read.
请朗读下面这段文字。
Please read the following passage aloud.
在很多中国人的生活里，茶不是一种需要赶紧喝完的饮料，而是一段可以被放慢的时间。热水注入杯子，叶子慢慢打开，香味要过一会儿才出来。有人在办公桌边泡一杯，只为让自己从下一封邮件里抬起头来；也有人约朋友坐在窗边，把一壶茶喝到变淡，话才刚刚开始。茶的味道会随着水温、时间和心情改变，这也许正是它陪伴了那么多代人的原因：它允许你停一停，却不必解释自己为什么停下。
