【題目】閱讀理解，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇最合適的一項(xiàng)。

Using a teabag is most Westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?

The teabag was marketed（推銷）in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose tea（散裝茶）again.

As teabags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze（紗布）and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the teabag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided teabag. Teabags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.

However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put poor quality tea in their teabags. But for most drinkers, teabags are still the easy and tasty way to go.
