Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition． Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture．
It's said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong． People say that he lived 5，000 years ago． One summer day， while he was visiting a faraway part of his country， he felt very thirsty．When the servants were boiling the water for him to drink，the dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water．The King drank some， and found it could make him feel less tired， which made Shen Nong interested in the new drink． And so， tea was created in 2737BC．

Because of the COVID﹣19（新冠肺炎）， teachers are trying their best to come up with creative ways to connect with their students．
First﹣grade teacher Katie Ricca of Florida has been giving her math lessons every day on Zoom． At the same time， she has to take care of the studies of her five little ones． So when she spared no effort to help one of her students out， the child's mom couldn't stop singing her praises．
During one of her many Zoom calls， Katie noticed a girl named Hannah had shut down in the middle of the lesson． "Our class tried talking to her， but there's something wrong with her．" Katie said later． When Hannah left the lesson early， she became worried．
Once class was over， Katie texted Kelley Close， her mom， to check in and found out Hannah "was sad but didn't know why．" On hearing this， Katie asked if she could pay a short visit the next day． Kelley said yes．
"Today her teacher came over and hung out for some time．"Kelley wrote on Facebook．"They chatted，read books，and just talked．Though this woman has five kids at home，she kept social distancing（距离） with my daughter and sat in my driveway for an hour to make sure Hannah was okay．"
For Katie， spending time with Hannah wasn't a waste of time． "Seeing my student upset， I knew I had to show her I care for her，" the teacher explained． "She told me she couldn't understand the math lesson and that she felt bad about that． I just explained the lesson to her again and told her to do more math practice． I showed her 1 understood her feelings and that she wasn't alone．"
In the hour， Katie took away from homeschooling her own children that day． She gave a sweet memory to a little girl in need．

The Galapagos Islands are a special group of islands 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador． Because the islands are so far from land， they are home to many plants and animals that you can't find anywhere else， such as giant tortoises（巨龟）．The Islands are also far from each other． This has allowed different kinds of animals to develop on different islands． There are at least 12 different kinds of Galapagos tortoises．
Giant tortoises can live for more than 100 years though their living environment is sometimes bad．Over long periods of time， they've slowly changed their shells（外壳） and body styles to better fit the environment．
Hood Island is one of the Galapagos Islands． Like many other Galapagos tortoises，the number of Hood Island tortoises dropped dangerously low． Long ago， the Galapagos Islands were a favorite stopping place for the ship﹣men， who used giant tortoises as food on their trips． In 1976， the Charles Darwin Research Station （CDRS） began a program to raise their number．Several Hood Island tortoises were brought to a special area on Santa Cruz Island， and young tortoises could be raised and cared for here．At the time， Diego had been living in a zoo in California for about 30 years．When scientists realized he was a Hood Island tortoise， he was returned to take part in the program．The program was a great success．In 2020， there are nearly 2，000 Hood Island tortoises alive．Diego is believed to be responsible for about 40% of them． Now scientists believe that the Hood Island tortoises won't disappear．
There is no longer a need for a special program for Hood Island tortoises， and Diego and 14 other tortoises have now been returned to Hood Island．

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about winter sports？ Skiing（滑雪）， of course． There is no doubt that down﹣hill skiing is the world's most popular winter sport although it's one of the most expensive as well． Few people， however， know that cross﹣country skiing is much easier and less expensive than down﹣hill skiing， and certainly also enjoyable．
Cross﹣country skiing has been around for much longer than down﹣hill skiing and it is probably the oldest winter sport． A long time before the snowmobile was invented， it was also the first means of transportation that people used to move across the snow． In fact， the oldest ski ever found， which was in Sweden， is more than 4，500 years old．
Cross﹣country skiing is not difficult at all． Even people who aren't professional can have fun from the beginning without having to spend a long time or lots of money taking lessons． That's why it's very common to see people of all ages enjoying cross﹣country skiing together． In fact， at the first Winter Olympics held in Chamonix in 1924， it was the only kind of skiing in the competition． Now for cross﹣country skiers， the most exciting event every year is the Engadine Marathon， where more than 10，000 men， women and children ski across the frozen（冰冻的） lake of St. Moritz in Switzerland． This makes more people from all over the world take part in the sport．
For cross﹣country skiers， what they value is the excitement of the sport． Popular holiday centers and luxurioushotels are not important． They stay in cheap houses and go skiing whenever they feel like it．
（1）Why do people prefer down﹣hill skiing to cross﹣country skiing？
| A． |
