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.

I was walking down the street the other day when I suddenly saw a small wallet lying on the ground. I picked it up and opened to see if I could find the owner's name. There was nothing inside it except some money and an old photo of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old. The girl looked like the woman's daughter. I put the photo back and took the wallet to the police station. There I gave it to a policeman. Before I left, the policeman took down my name and address so that the owner could write and thank me if they found it.
That evening I went for dinner with my aunt and uncle. They also asked a young woman, so there were four people at table. Her face seemed familiar(熟悉). I was quite sure that we had met before, but I could not remember where I had seen her. During the talking, the young woman said that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. At once I knew where I had seen her. She was just the young girl in the photo though she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to tell her what her wallet was like.
My uncle said that we should go to the police station at once to get the wallet. As that policeman handed it over, he said it was an interesting coincidence(巧合) ----I not only found the wallet, but also made friends with the person who had lost it.The word "wallet" in the story means ______ in Chinese.
