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.
【小題1】The best title for this passage should be ________________.

A．Black Tea B．Tea Plant

A Korean(韓國的) wave is sweeping across China. Many Chinese women think South Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun(金秀賢) and Lee Min-ho(李敏鎬) are their demigods(男神). Chinese people have different ideas about South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. And a big part of the credit(功勞) for that goes to You Who Came From The Star《來自星星的你》, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
In You Who Came From The Star ,the top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun(全智賢) and Kim Soo-hyun recently earned a popularity rating(收視率) of 24.8 percent in their country.  You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs(繼承者們) have  been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.
The two TV programs have several common elements(元素): a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves a woman and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs represent the purity of love. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still love Cinderella-type(灰姑娘型的) stories.
However, Chinese TV screens are full of poorly made soap operas(肥皂劇). Most of the Chinese TV dramas either describe the War against Japanese or blindly copy foreign programs. There are too many TV series on time travel or fights in the palace of Qing Dynasty (清朝1644-1911). These, in short, do harm to Chinese TV productions.
Hopefully, the success of South Korean TV programs will encourage Chinese TV drama makers to think of new ideas and give up their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.

【小題1】Who is the main actor in the Korean TV dramas You Who Came From The Star?

A．Jun Ji-hyun B．Kim Soo-hyun 
C．Lee Min-ho D．both A and B 
【小題2】 Why aren’t the Chinese dramas so popular as the Korean TV dramas?
A．The actors are not handsome. 
B．The stories are not interesting. 
C．Therearen’tstories about time travel. 
D．The fights in them are too cruel. 
【小題3】Which is not mentioned（提及，涉及） in the passage?
A．Therating of the Korean dramaThe Heirs. 
B．Many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. 
C．Too manyTV series on time traveldo harm toChinese TV productions. 
D．The success willencourageChinese TV drama makers to thinkofnew ideas. 
【小題4】Which is not the common element in Korean TV dramas?
A．A handsome actor B．Two main actors love the same woman 
C．Time travel D．Pure love story 
【小題5】Which is the best title for the passage?
A．The TV drama makers 
B．The actors in TV dramas 
C．TV dramas need creativestories 
D．The differences between China and Korea.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(論壇) asking what “PK” meant.
“My family has been watching the ‘I Am the Singer’ singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “I Am the Singer” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition raking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at Middle schools have also been finding their students using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write the compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” is Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, meaning an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, meaning an ugly looking male ) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
【小題1】By writing the article, the writer tries to _________.
A. explain some Internet jargons               
B. suggest common Internet jargons
C. draw our attention to Internet jargons
【小題2】What does the underlined word Internet jargons mean?
A. Internet language            
B. Internet action           
C. Internet fashion

B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players may know it.
【小題4】The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons__________.
A. are used not only online
B. cause trouble to our mother tongue
C. are welcomed by all the people
【小題5】What would be the best title for the passage?
