The home of tea is in China． It is said that tea was found by Shennong， a legendary（传说中的）ruler of ancient China about 5000 years ago． Some people say that tea is the national drink of China． There are mainly six kinds of tea in China， such as black tea， green tea， white tea， etc．
Many Chinese drink it almost every day．
Tea helps keep your mind clear． It's calorie ﹣ free and good for your heart． Also， tea can protect against cancer． So it becomes the most widely consumed（广泛饮用的） drink in the world next to water． To celebrate this popular drink， the United Nations has made May 21 stInternational Tea Day recently．
However， people in different countries have different ways to drink tea，In the US， sweet tea is popular． It is made with black tea， sugar and fruit． Unlike Chinese tea， sweet tea in the US is always served ice cold． Many years ago， only rich people drank it．
Black tea and sugar used to cost a lot of money． But now， anyone can drink it．
In the UK， people like to put milk in their tea， This gives it a nice taste． They usually drink it in the afternoon﹣ ﹣ this is called"tea time"． They like to eat biscuits while drinking their tea．
During tea time， people take a break from work and relax．
If you never drink tea， you can try it． Maybe you'll find your favorite taste．

It's four o'clock in the afternoon．Some students（61） （talk） about the future．Here is one of their predictions．
I believe we will be able to live in the space．There（62） （be） many big clean hotels in the space．We can fly our rockets to the space hotel there．And also we （63） （play） sports and enjoy all kinds of interesting food in the sky．﹣John．
（106） The answer for most people would be yes．But where does our rubbish go？
It doesn't just sit in the rubbish bin．Every day，workers come to take the rubbish from our rubbish bins．They put it into a big truck and carry it to landfills （垃圾填埋场）．At the landfill，people sort（分类）the rubbish．They recycle some，burn some and bury（埋）some of it underground．（107） It means that less rubbish ends up in landfills．Landfills can also be bad for the environment．
So many Chinese cities encourage everyone to sort out their rubbish before throwing it away．Put the food in one bag．Put the plastic bottles in another．And throw them in the right rubbish bins．In this way，we can help save a lot of time，money and energy for all of society．
（108） So they have higher recycling rates（比率）．In Sweden，only 4 percent of household waste ends up in landfills every year．In Japan，people recycle nearly 50 percent of all rubbish．
There is still a lot to do when it comes to rubbish sorting in China．People in the country make about 300 million tons of rubbish every year．（109） The rest of it ends up in landfills．Most of it is unsorted．The good news is that many cities are trying different ways to make things better．Beijing will start a new program to improve rubbish sorting next year．If people sort out their rubbish，they'll get WeChat bonus points．（110） ．
A．But they only recycle less than a quarter of the waste．
B．Did you throw something away today？
C．Most foreign countries do not have sorthing systems．
D．The more rubbish gets recycled，the better．
E．Many foreign countries have good sorting systems．
F．Parents should educate kids to throw away less food．
G．They can exchange the bonus points for shopping cards!
