How tea was invented by accident

An Accidental Invention
Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world s favorite drinks was invented.

A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.

It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn't appear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

Basketball is a much-loved and active sport that is enjoyed by many for fun and exercise. It is over 100 years old and is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. It is bebeved that the first basketball game in history was played on December 21,1891. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics.

Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was a college teacher, he was asked to think of a game that could be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. Players on the same team must work together to get the ball in the other teams basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.

Today the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even factories. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, but it has also become a popular sport to watch. Although Americas NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming more popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. There are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.

Unit 6  When was it invented ?   它是什么时候被发明的？
Section A  2d   
保罗：嘿，罗伊，这次我们学校的项目任务的主题是“改变世界的小发明”。你能帮我想一个小发明吗？
罗伊：我很乐意！让我想想.....嗯......有啦！拉链！
保罗：拉链？它真是这样一项了不起的发明吗？
罗伊：想想在我们的日常生活中会多么频繁地使用它吧。你能看见拉链在裙子、裤子、鞋子、背包上.....无处不在！
保罗：嗯，看来你说的确实有道理......
罗伊：当然！我想到它是因为我上周看到一个网站。不同发明的创始者都被列在上面。比如说，它提到拉链是在1893年被惠特科母·贾德森发明的。不过那时候它并没有被广泛使用。
保罗：真的吗？那它是什么时候流行起来的？
罗伊：1917年左右。

Section A  3a            
一项偶然的发明
你知道茶，作为世界上最受欢迎的饮料（仅次于水），是一项偶然的发明吗？许多人都认为在5000年以前就开始了饮茶。据说一位叫神农的中国统治者最早发现茶可以饮用。一天，神农在户外的炉火上烧水，茶树上有几片叶子掉入水里，过了一会，散发出怡人的香味，于是神农品尝了这褐色的水，它非常香醇，就这样，世界上最受欢迎的饮料之一被发明了。

数千年后，“茶圣”陆羽在他的《茶经》一书中提到了神农。该书描述了如何种植茶树和泡茶，它还讨论了什么地方出产最好的茶叶，而且还应该使用什么样的水来泡茶。

人们认为茶是在公元6-7世纪传播到日本和朝鲜。在英国，大约直到1660年才发现，但不到100年的时间里，茶已经成为国饮。从中国到西方的茶叶贸易始于19世纪。这使得茶树和茶叶传播到世界更多地方，使之深受欢迎。现在许多人都了解一些茶文化，但毫无疑问的是，中国人才是最懂茶之精髓的人。

Section B 2b
你知道篮球是什么时候发明的吗？
篮球是一项许多人都喜爱的积极运动，它既有趣又健身。篮球有100多年的历史，而且200多个国家超过10亿人都在玩篮球。人们认为1891年地12月12日是历史上第一场篮球比赛的日子。而后于1936年，在德国柏林，篮球成为奥运会比赛项目。

篮球是有一位名叫詹姆斯·奈史密斯的加拿大医生发明的，他出生于1861年。当他在大学任教时，被要求发明一项能让人冬天在室内玩的游戏。他把他班级里的人分成两队人员，教他们玩他的新游戏。同一个队的成员必须一起努力投进对方的篮筐。同时，他们还要阻止对方把球投进他们自己队的篮筐。

如今，篮球在世界各地越来越普及，许多年轻人都梦想成为著名的篮球运动员。在中国，有时你看见人们在公园、学校甚至工厂打篮球。篮球不仅成为人们喜欢玩的运动，也成为一项人们喜欢观看的运动。虽然美国的NBA比赛是最著名的，但中国的CBA比赛也越来越受欢迎。NBA中的外国球员数量有所增加，其中也包括中国球员。也有越来越多的外籍球员加入到CBA的赛事中。许多年轻人都仰慕这些篮球英雄，并想成为像他们一样的人。这些球星也鼓励着年轻人为实现自己的梦想而努力。
