Wang Hao and Wang Liqin, two of China’s top table tennis players, both saw the World Table Tennis Championships(世锦赛) as a chance to prove themselves. But there was only one trophy(奖杯) and Wang Hao, 25, won it last Tuesday in Yokohama(横滨), Japan.
Wang Hao, who won the men’s doubles title(对打) with Chen Qi last Monday, played with spirit to beat Wang Liqin.
Wang Hao said it was his mental toughness(心理韧性) that made the difference. “I was disappointed(失望) by my performances in past championships and the last two Olympic Games. But I have tried to pull myself together and prepared well. This is the result.”
Wang Hao said he has always understood the importance of physical training(体能训练) and technical skills(技巧). Now he knows the need for mental preparation as well. Having two Olympics silvers(银牌) had left him feeling bitter(辛苦的). The bitterness perhaps explains why he has not always played at his best in the past.
“I’ve come to understand that you can learn important lessons from failure,” he said. “Losing can build your character and make you a stronger player.” His next goal, or dream, is to win the gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
Liu Guoliang, head coach of China’s table tennis team, sang the praises of Wang Hao’s victory. “This is just the beginning of his rise,” said Liu. “it’s the confidence-booster(信心) he needs to make further progress.” Who won the trophy of the World Table Tennis Championships?

Which country grows the most tea？The answer is India.It grows three times as much as China.Which country drinks the most tea？It's neither China nor Japan.It's Great Britain.
In the wild，tea plants may be 9 meters tall.But a plant grown for market is pruned.Pruning keeps the plant only 0.9 or 1.2 meters tall.This is an easy height for tea picking.Only the two top leaves and bud（芽）of each new shoot are picked.So to make money，tea plantations （种植园） must be huge.
In general，there are two kinds of tea：black tea and green tea.Black tea is fermented （发酵）.In the process，the tea loses nearly all of its healthy parts.Green tea is steamed （蒸） right after the leaves are picked.Green tea keeps its healthy parts.For example，it may prevent heart illness.
How did we get tea bags？The answer：by accident.Tea businessmen used to send samples（样品）in tin（锡）boxes.This was very expensive.One businessman thought of a cheaper way.He sent samples in small silk bags.Customers would open the bag.They would make tea as usual.One customer put the bag into a pot.Then he just poured hot water over it.And the tea bag was born.
Shen Nong was the first to drink tea.He was a Chinese emperor.This was about 2737 B.C.Shen drank several cups of hot water daily.One day something happened.Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot.The next cup was poured.The water was now colored.Shen tasted it.He liked it.He drank it all.Shen was proud of his new drink.He served it to his guests.Word spread.People thought this way：tea is good enough for the Emperor，so it must be good enough for the people.Tea became the drink of China.

Have you ever imagined what life will be like in 2060？An international group of forty scientists have made some surprising predictions.They said that in the next forty years，our lives would change beyond our wildest dreams.

Damaged parts will be taken away.Scientists could use human cells （细胞） to grow new organs.New technologies like this will also help people to live longer.Within forty years，most people will be able to live up to one hundred years.
Secondly，the scientists have predicted that a machine will be invented to "read" the minds of animals.In 2060，we will be able to "talk" to animals.Scientists say that humans may first "talk" with mammals （哺乳动物） and then other vertebrates （脊椎动物） such as fish.
Our houses might also change beyond our imagination.Dr.Susan Greenfield predicts that when you enter the living room，sensors （传感器） will know you.They will turn on the lights.If you talk to the lights，they will change to the color of your choice.
But what would be the biggest breakthrough （突破） over the next forty years？A number of scientists believe it would be the discovery of aliens.NASA scientist Chris Mckay says， "We may find aliens in space and talk with them." He believes marks of alien life may even be found here on Earth.

Poverty （贫困）is a big problem around the world.But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has found its own way to fight poverty.Instead of just giving money to poor people，it has tried to educate people and give them the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty.Ordinary （平凡的）people play a big role in the fight.Here are two of them.
After graduating from Beijing Normal University in 2016，Huang Wenxiu gave up the chances to work in big cities and returned to her hometown of Baise in Guangxi and served as the village's Party chief.A total of 418 villagers were lifted out of poverty thanks to her efforts.Unluckily，she died in a flash flood at the age of 30 while driving back to her village in Baise.She was given the title "role model of the times" by the central government.
When Mao Xianglin started to work as the Party secretary of his village，there was only one pathway out of the village for many years.He led more than 100 villagers to build a road with their hands. It took them seven years to build an eight ﹣ kilometer road. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges.Last year，their orange yield （产量）was nearly 40 tons.Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges online.By the end of 2019，269 villagers had been lifted out of poverty.The per capita income （人均收入）reached 12，670 yuan，40 times more than in the 1990s.
（1）How does China help poor people to fight poverty？
（2）What prize was given to Huang Wenxiu？
（3）How do young people sell oranges in Mao Xianglin s village？

Zhu Keming never thought he would be a hero one day，but he was just that on Saturday when he saved the lives of six runners during the mountain marathon （马拉松）in Baiyin，Gansu Province，in which 21 people lost their lives.
It started off as a normal day for the 49﹣year﹣old shepherd ，who was taking care of his more than 30 sheep on the mountainside.But soon the weather was terrible，with rainfall and hail.The rain got so heavy that he couldn't see clearly and had to run into a cave where he normally went to have a rest.Soon he fell asleep in the cave after covering himself with some quilts he had stored there.
But he was awakened at 2 pm by an unusual sound that was not coming from his sheep.The sound that woke Zhu was the cry of a runner in the marathon.He was wet from head to toe and trembling because of cold.Zhu took him into the cave，lit a fire and covered the stricken （受伤的）runner with his quilts.
Zhu said that there were soon five runners huddling （挤作一团）in the cave，and he then decided to go outside to try to attract the attention of rescuers （救援者）.When he risked coming out of the cave，he found another stricken runner lying on the ground in bad condition.Then the other runners came out of the cave to give a hand.Zhu and the six runners remained huddled around the fire in his cave until 7 pm，when the rescue team arrived.
