She was not 24 and she also found this type of tea rather 25 . However, since she had been given the tea , she felt she should drink it. Hoping to finish it 26 so that she would not feel about having to drink this tea which she did not 27 , she started to drink as much of it as she could. But as soon as her cup became half - full, the host 28 on giving her more. Several times she told the host that she had had 29 , but it seemed to have no 30 . Her cup kept being 31 , and she kept on drinking. During the time of her 32 , she drank about twelve cups of tea.

Influenced by her 34 culture, she felt it too 35 to leave the tea and could not understand why the host took no notice of her protests (抗议) that she had had enough!
