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 (修剪). 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 (发酵). In the
process, the tea loses nearly all of its healthy qualities. Green tea is steamed (蒸炒) 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 (商人) 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 (倒) 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 dai- ly. 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.

a cook at Moon Lake Restaurant, in Saratoga Springs, New York. A guest complained (抱怨) that the fried (炸)
potatoes that Crum had cooked were too thick. Crum thought the guest was making trouble. In retum he cut
potatoes paper thin and fried them.
The guest loved what soon became known as "Saratoga Chips", and the new dish became the most popular
in the restaurant. Other restaurants in the eastern United States borrowed the idea, but potato chips were not
produced for home use until William Tappenden of Cleveland, Ohio, started the first potato-chip factory in
Cleveland.
Potatoes are made up of about 25% solids, mostly starches (淀粉) and sugar, and 75% water. But they
are not always so. Marsha McNcil Sherman, Director of Fast Food Association in Los Angeles, explains:
"Cenerally, more of the water can be found in the middle of the potato. Frying is a way to dry the potato. So,
the edges of potatoes are fried faster than the middle."
B. In Ohio.
C. In New York.
D. In Los Angeles.
B. Starches.
C. Sugar.
D. Water.
B. Because they are thinner.
C. Because they have fewer solids.
D. Because they are softer.
express heat. They may say they are red-hot about something unfair. When they are red-hot, they are very
angry about something.
People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used
in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born
with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues
is slow and sad. Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has
a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from
high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as
nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy (妒忌). Some people are
green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that
is the color of the backside of the paper money.
People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is
remembered as a black day. Blackouts were coming during World War II. Officials would order all lights in a
city turned off to make it difficult for enemy planes to find a target in the dark of night.

But first, let me explain a little about the game.
Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team.
The batter attempts to hit the ball. If he misses, it is called a strike. If a batter gets three strikes, he loses his
turn at bat and is called out. The batter also is out if he hits the ball in the air and an opposing player catches it.
But if the batter hits the ball and it is not caught, the batter tries to run to one or more of the four bases on the
field. The batter can run to all four bases if he hits the ball over the fence or out of the ballpark. Such a hit is
called a homerun.
Now, here are some common expressions from baseball. Someone who is "on the ball" is intelligent and able
to do a good job. But a person who "threw a curve ball" did something unexpected. Someone who "steps up to
the plate" is ready to do his or her job. A "pinch hitter" takes the place of someone else at a job or activity.
Sometimes I have to give information quickly, without time to think it over. Then I would say something
"right off the bat". If someone is doing an extremely good job and is very successful,you might say he or she is
"batting one thousand."
If I say I want to "touch base" with you, I will talk to you from time to time about something we plan to do.
I might say I "touched all the bases" if I did what is necessa- ry to complete a job or activity. And if I "covered
my bases" I was well prepared. However,someone who is "way off base" did something wrong or maybe even
dishonest or immoral. A person with strange ideas might be described as "out in left field".
Finally, when a situation changes completely, we say "that is a whole new ballgame."
B. to tell you more about America"s national sports
C. to introduce some useful expressions from baseball
D. to show the connection between expressions and sports
B. the batter will not continue the game
C. the match will be over immediately
D. the batter will change his position

C. To throw a curve ball.
