The words for "tea" in different languages came from the Chinese character, "cha". The English word, "tea", sounds similar to the        of it in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The Russians call it "cha'i",which sounds like "chaye" (tea leaves) as it is pronounced in        China. The Japanese character for "tea" is exactly        the same as it is in Chinese, though it is pronounced a little differently.

Tea        are produced mainly in the south of China because of the mild climate(温暖的气候) and rich soil there. Longjing,Pu 'er; Wulong and Tieguanyin are        famous teas. They're produced in the provinces of Zhejiang, Yunnan and Fujian.

You'd better eat a banana while you still can. British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.

A young boy was hungry for success. For him, winning was everything.

One day, the boy was preparing himself for a running competition in his small village. He was to compete with two other young boys. A large crowd gathered there to watch, including a wise old man.

The race began. With his strength and power, the boy easily took the lead. The crowd cheered and waved. The little boy felt proud and important. However, the wise man remained still and calm.

"Another race, another race!" yelled the little boy. The wise old man stepped forward and presented the little boy with two new challengers- an old lady and a blind man.

The race started and the boy was the only one to cross the finishing line. The little boy raised his arms happily. The crowd, however, was silent.

"Race again," said the wise man. "This time, all three of you finish together."

The little boy thought a little, stood in between the blind man and the old lady, and then took them by the hand. The race began and the little boy walked slowly to the finishing line and crossed it. The crowd cheered and waved. The wise man smiled, too.

"Which one of us is the crowd cheering for?" asked the little boy.

"For this race, you have won much more than in any other race you've ever run before." said the wise man. "For this race, the crowd cheered not for any winner!"

Alexis Lewis is a teenager from the USA. She likes to invent—to think of new ideas for things that no one has made before, and then make them.

Alexis often enters competitions for young inventors. When she was younger she spent time with her grandfather, who made transport for people to go to space. One day Alexis' mother told her about a newspaper article which explained how difficult it was to get sick people through the countryside to hospital in Africa. Alexis wanted to help.

Alexis knew that in North America, before there were cars, horses pulled heavy things on a travois(旧式雪橇) made of wood. Alexis thought people could do the same, but she added wheels. To make her travois light, she used bamboo, a plant which grows in Africa, not wood.

To pull Alexis' travois, you wear a belt, which means you can carry or hold other things. Alexis thinks her travois might be useful for carrying food home from the market, as well as taking people to hospital. Now it's finished, she's writing instructions for building one so people in Africa can make it themselves.

With help from US companies, Alexis plans to give ten travois free to hospitals in Africa. She doesn't want money for them because they are for poor people.

Alexis doesn't know if she wants to be an inventor when she's older, because she also likes music and writing, but she thinks it's important for children to learn about inventing at school.

Many teachers say feeling loved by students is a happy thing. As a choir(合唱团) teacher who has been working for nearly 17 years, Gabrielyn Watson knows it quite well.

       She loves music and many of her students become successful in music because of her. Peter Frank is one of her former students. He took part in American Idol, a popular singing competition in the US.        He never forgot how Ms. Warson once gave him an evening dress for a chorus competition because he couldn't afford one.

The year before, the kind teacher got seriously ill.        Luckily, she got much better after seven months and could return to work thanks to the successful treatment. After hearing the story, the choir teacher's former students decided to show their love for her with a special performance.       When she was in the hallway, she was surprised to see Frank jump out and start singing "Amazing Grace". When more and more students filled the hallway and joined in the performance, the teacher was so moved that she dropped to the floor and began crying.        "It is just great to feel loved and that what you do matters," Ms. Watson said. "I love my students and I hope all of them can thrive(茁壮成长).

Eleven straight victories! The Chinese women's volleyball team won the world championship at the 2019 FIVB Women's World Cup in Osaka, Japan. This is China's fifth World Cup title, following the team's victory in 1981, 1985, 2003 and 2015.

Among all the Chinese sports teams, the women's volleyball team remains the most special one. During the 1980s, the Chinese women's volleyball team jumped up, achieving five straight championships after the 3rd and the 4th Volleyball World Cup, the 9th and the 10th FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship and the gold medal of 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. At that time China was experiencing a tough period in its own national development. The achievements those Chinese volleyball players had made and their spirit were a big encouragement for Chinese people to work hard and get out of the darkness.

Known as the "Iron Hammer", Lang Ping was a member of the team that inspired the whole nation. Now as the head coach of the national team, she leads her girls in winning more glories. Her team still represents the best things that sports can offer to the Chinese: perseverance(坚持),courage and unity.

In the future, there's still a long way to go and there surely will be both successes and challenges. No matter what happens, the Chinese women's volleyball team will keep its pace(步调) to create more miracles. And China is also going to keep its spirit of never giving up and take on whatever challenges that may lie ahead.
