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 30 feet tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned. Pruning keeps the plant only three or four feet tall. This is an easy height for tea picking. Only the two top leaves and bud of each new shoot are picked. So to make money, tea plantations must be huge.

In general, there are two kinds of tea. Black tea and green tea. Black tea is fermented. In the process, the tea loses nearly all of its healthy qualities. Green tea is steamed right after the leaves are picked. Green tea retains its healthy qualities. For example, it may prevent heart disease.

How did we get tea bag? The answer: by accident. Tea merchants used to send samples in tin boxes. This was costly. One merchant thought of a cheaper way. He sent samples in small silk bags. Customers would cut open the bag. They would brew the leaves 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. (Shen was a Chinese emperor.) This was about 2737 B.C. Shen had bad digestion. So he 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 sipped 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.

Education is very important for the development of China. As we know, China has the largest population in the world and most of them live in the countryside. Because of the economic（经济）conditions, many families are very poor, especially those in the remote（偏僻的）areas, and they can’t afford to send their children to school. Many children have to stop attending school. Project Hope is aimed at solving this problem so that every child of school age can receive a regular education.

Project Hope mainly depends on the contributions（捐款）of the urban（城市的）people and overseas Chinese who care about the development of China’s education. The contributed（捐赠）money will be distributed（分配）by Project Hope council to the countryside to help the children who can’t afford the education. One hundred yuan will help such a child finish his primary education.

Project Hope is a good way to improve the education in the rural（农村的）areas, but it isn’t enough. So far, only a small part of the children benefit（受益）from it. So we should pay more attention to the problem and do much more to help raise the educational level of the country.

根据短文内容判断正（A）误（B）。（10分）

1.In the remote areas many poor families can’t afford their children’s regular education.

3.Project Hope aims to afford an education for the poor children.

4.One hundred yuan will help a poor child finish his primary education.

It is reported that some developed countries have shipped (运往) broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.

Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely.
