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.

Do You Know When Basketball Was Invented?
2 / 8

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 believed 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 team’s 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 America’s 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.
