Once upon a time, there was no tea at all in England. People there used {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (drink) a light beer (啤酒). No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stand) on the breakfast table!

When tea was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (one) brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they did not know how it should be used. They cooked the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (leaf) in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon (熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming{#blank#}6{#/blank#} popular as coffee and milk in England today.

Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wide) in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow a great many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the tea leaves {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pick), it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they). In their spare time, they pick out the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into a house, he is served with a cup of tea.

Camping is one of the most interesting outdoor activities. Last weekend, l had a camping trip to a hill  1 My teachers and classmates. We all enjoyed 2 Very much, Each of us brought something for the camping. Liu Tao had a box of chocolates(巧克力)and David had some  3 What did Nancy have? She had some apples, too. Helen had some fish and chicken. Mr. Green and Miss Li  4 two big tents(帐篷)and the cooking tools.

When we got to the camping place, it  5 almost l1 a. m. Our teachers tried to put up the tents first. And we students went to look for wood. Then we made a fire  6 food. We didn't  7 much choice on food, but we all thought it was delicious. After lunch, we took a rest. And then in the afternoon, we caught butterflies, looked for rare plants in the woods and went fishing by a river. In the evening, we held  8 party, singing and dancing around the campfire(篝火). At about ll p. m. , we went into the tents and slept soon 9 we were tired at that time. The radio said it would be rainy in the evening. Luckily, it didn't rain that night. The trip was  10 a wonderful experience.

There is a story in the book History as a Mirror（《资治通鉴》）by Chinese historian Sima Guang.

Zhi Xuanzi was the head of Zhi, a big family of Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period. He wanted Zhi Yao {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（be）the family head after him.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, another man in the family disliked the idea. He listed five good things of Zhi Yao. For {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, he was good at riding and shooting. But Zhi Yao had a big problem: his virtue（品德）. He had {#blank#}4{#/blank#} unkind heart.

Zhi Xuanzi didn't listen {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the idea. And still, Zhi Yao {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（become）the head of the family. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（quick）made the Zhi family develop. Soon it was much {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（strong）, than before. But because of his aggressive style, three other {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（family）worked together to fight against the Zhi family. Finally, Zhi family lost the fight.

Sims Guang used this story to tell us that having talent is not enough. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} talent and virtue are important. Excellent people must also have virtue.
