Unit 2 Working the land Period 5 Extended reading(1)
Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
Tea was first drunk in China. As the hometown of tea, China has a long history of processing and drinking tea. Today, China accounts for 60% of tea plantations in the world. A great number of tea gardens are in more than 20 provinces throughout the country.
For a long time, tea was used as herbal medicine. During the Western Zhou Dynasty[1046 BC771 BC], it was a religious offering. The earliest record about tea as a drink appeared in the Western Han Dynasty(202 BC8), which indicates the actual time may be earlier than that.① Chinese tea culture prospered during the Tang Dynasty(618907) because of a famous person, Lu Yu, Tea Sage of China. The Classic of Tea written by him is a tea encyclopedia, detailing rules concerning various aspects of tea, such as growth areas for tea trees, skills for processing and tasting of tea, and the history of Chinese tea.② Also, in this period, tea seeds were taken to Japan but the tea culture didn't spread in Japan until the South Song Dynasty[11271279]. In the Song Dynasty, Arabic merchants exported tea from Quanzhou, Fujian Province. Tea was sold to Southeast Asian and South African countries in the Ming Dynasty[13681644]. In 1610, it went to Europe via Macau in a Dutch merchant ship. Thus it became an international drink.
For Chinese people, it is not only a popular beverage with a lot of health benefits, but it also keeps a central piece of Chinese traditional culture.③ Tea and tea sets should match surrounding elements such as the breeze, the bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the ultimate goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.
Chinese tea can be classified in many ways, such as quality, producing area, growth environment and processing method. The most common classification of Chinese tea is: the basic tea and the reprocessing tea.

While perusing the dessert section at a local dessert shop, Jeff Greene, a middleaged man in a friendly manner, was drawn to the beautiful display of cakes and pies. He was accompanied by his wife, Emily, and their teenage daughter, Sophie, who were all eagerly discussing which treat they should take home. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of freshly baked goods, making the decision even more delightful and challenging.
As Jeff reached for a box of chocolate mousse, he noticed Tara, a young, enthusiastic employee, arranging the pies on the shelf. Her eyes lit up as she noticed Jeff's curiosity. “Hi there!” Tara greeted warmly. “If you're looking for a recommendation, the key lime pie(酸橙派) here is my absolute favorite. It's tangy and sweet—truly the best!”
Jeff smiled, interested. “Really? I actually make a pretty good key lime pie myself. But I'm up for trying this one.”
Tara's eyes sparkled with excitement. “You won't be disappointed! It's really special.”
