English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said,"Where there's tea, there's hope." Similarly, a Chinese saying goesthat "Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are theseven necessities to begin a day."

    Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all overthe world. According to Statista, a German website for statistics (数据), global tea production reached about 5.8million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage (饮品) in the world – after water, of course.

    According to the UN, tea is much more thanjust a hot drink. It's a big part of many cultures around the world. Youprobably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect whenreceiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon teais an important part of that country's identity. Making Malaysia's pulled teahas become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainmentaspects.

    Apart from its cultural significance (意义), tea is also a medicine, used from ancienttimes to modern day. "Tea is cold and lowers the fire," Chinese MingDynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are stillbeing discovered today: preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer have allbeen linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center forBiotechnology Information in the US.

    Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf,teais more than a drink– it's a social custom and also a magic medicine, alink to the past and a way of life.

Today, I want to tell you about a new app called Lost &. Found at school. You just need to search for the names of the things on the app. And then you can find them. Now look at these things on the app. Some students lost them this week. 

Gongyuan Road is a good place in Wenzhou. Many people like to go there. 

It is in the centre of Wenzhou. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（在……之间）Zhongshan Park and Wuma Street. People can get there by {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（公共汽车）or by car. 

There are shops on the road. Many people come here to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（买）different things. They can find tea, clothes, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（花）and so on. Others come here to eat Wenzhou food like Lamp Cakes. They are {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（真正地）delicious. 

On the road, there are some old houses with stories about Wenzhou. The road is very clean, there isn't {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（一些）litter*. Many parents take their {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（孩子）to visit them on weekends. They can also watch Opera on{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（星期六）. 

{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（每人）can find something they like on Gongyuan Road. They usually want to go there {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（再次）. I'm sure you will also like it. 

With a habit of drinking coffee on weekends while doing schoolwork, Wu Zibo, a 17-year-old student from Beijing No. 4 High School, wanted to order a cup of Moutai-flavored latte(茅台味拿铁). "I wonder how my father's favorite Chinese liquor(白酒) would taste with my favorite coffee." Wu said.

The collaboration(合作) between Moutai and Luckin Coffee has interested many people. It sold 5.42 million cups and made 100 million yuan just on Sept 4, the first day it came out, China Daily reported.

Moutai has tried many ways in the past few years to be more creative, such as by bringing out Moutai ice cream.

"This creative collaboration lets Moutai make its brand younger." Li Honghui, a marketing director(市场总监) for drinks said. "Through collaborations, brands can share what they need, make the market bigger, and bring more creative things to buyers." added Li.

In 2023 China's collaboration market will grow to over 100 billion(十亿) yuan and may reach 300 billion yuan by 2025. However, wrong collaborations may have undesirable results and even hurt brands.

"The key to making a collaboration work is about how good the products are. The brands should not just pay attention to getting the public excited." said Li.

①The Christmas party is over. The gifts are opened. Now, it's time for the Christmas tree to" retire" . Every year, people buy lots of trees for Christmas. In 2022, people in the US get about 28,000,000 trees! But where do the trees go after the festival.

②Many cities and countries recycle(回收) the Christmas trees. In Berlin, people take off the lights and toys from the trees and put the trees on the streets. Then the trees go to power stations(发电站). Every year, Berlin recycles about 350,000 trees. They can make electricity(电) for 500 families to use for a year.

③In New York, people always put their trees in parks. There, the trees are cut into small pieces(碎片). The wood pieces can keep the plants warm and health y in gardens.

④Many of the trees go to zoos. Once a year, elephants in Austria get their favorite snack(点心). The trees taste sweet. Some other animals also like them.

⑤Some people like to have fun with the old trees. In Germany, people like a Christmas game. They try to throw(扔) the trees very far. It is an interesting tree- throwing game.

⑥As you can see, the lives of Christmas trees are short, but they bring people so much fun.
