【題目】

Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England. People there used to drink a light beer(啤酒). No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table!

When tea was first brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. But they did not know how it should be used. They cooked the leaves in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon(熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today.

Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the tea leaves are ready to be picked, it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off on the leaves and dry them. In their spare time, they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into a house, he is served with a cup of tea.

In Egypt there are over 80 pyramids and the I3one is the Great Pyramid. It I4on the west bank of the Nile. In fact, all the pyramids along the Nile are on the west bank.

You can h6imagine how huge the Great Pyramid is. It has over 2 million blocks. Some are as heavy as five school buses. A7they were heavy, workers were able to put a block into the pyramid every three minutes.

The workers, Egyptian men and women, worked in teams. The teams had different t8. Some dug up the stones. Others moved them. Another team cut the stones. The last group put the stones into the pyramid. There were so many different teams, but the pyramid is perfect. No stone is in the w9position.
