2014高考英语阅读理解：2013暑假练习题（6）及答案解析 (第) When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China. When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully，we can get all these anywhere in India now. Still, her answer surprised me，“ Green tea.” As long as I can remember she didn’ t even drink Indian tea. I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story.

A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”． But it’_s_a_twoway_street.

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea. [语篇解读]　文章主要讲述了一个印度人对中国的印象：中国的发展令他惊讶不已。另外，中国和印度相互合作，实现了双赢。 1．Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea? A.
