In the state of Qin (秦国 ) , there was a man called Shang Yang (商鞅). He was a statesman (政治家) and worked out many reforms(改革) for the state, like paying more attention to farming and giving rewards (报酬) to soldiers who were successful when at war.
But these reforms were not easily carried out (执行) at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang Yang. In order to solve this problem, Shang Yang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin capital. Many people came to see him and the pole.
Then, in front of the crowd, Shang Yang said loudly, “The man who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.”
It was a simple job and the reward was so large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang Yang was making a joke.
Hearing no answer, Shang Yang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.”
This reward was unbelievably large. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang Yang gave the man 50 gold pieces.
After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang Yang did about the pole. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang Yang began carrying out his reforms, the people followed him.

阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）
China, the homeland of tea, is the birthplace of tea culture. The tradition of making and drinking tea has been thousands of years. The Chinese tea culture has been famous all over the world. China had tea as early as five to six thousand years ago, and Chinese people started to plant tea two thousand years ago.
Tea is produced in most areas of China from Hainan Island to Shandong Province, from Tibet to Taiwan. There are four major areas in China:
The Jiangnan area
It lies south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The largest number of green tea comes from here. Some black tea is also produced here.
The Jiangbei area
This refers to a large area north of the same river, where the temperature is usually 2℃-3℃ lower than that in the Jiangnan area. Green tea is the major variety ( 品 种 ) there, but Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, which are also parts of this area, produce compressed tea.
The Southwest area
This area covers Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet, producing black, green and compressed teas. Pu’er tea of Yunnan Province enjoys a good sale in China and abroad.
The Lingnan area
This area includes the southern provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan. It produces Wulong tea, which is well known both at home and abroad.
Now the number of tea drinkers in the world is large and is still going up. The habits of tea drinking are different from country to country. In China, tea is often served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at home or in tea houses. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.
In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and sandwiches at tea time. In the USA, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.
