The Great Wall 万里长城

The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders of the world. The entire wall, which has many branches, is about 8 800 kilometers long. It stretches from Shanghaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west.

The construction was begun during the warring states period, which was about 2 500 years ago. The states of Qin, Wei, Zhao, Qi, Yan and Zhongshan all built walls to protect their people. The first emperor, Qin Shihuang, joined all these smaller walls together to make the Great Wall.

These early walls that were made of packed earth and wood wore away in the rain and wind. Little of these walls remain. Most of the Great Wall that can be seen today was built during the Ming dynasty. It was made of stone and brick that would last longer.

The Great Wall was first built by ancient people to separate them from their enemies. Those Ming dynasty rulers did not expect that it would later be used to bring tourists into China.It is said that he who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. The Great Wall is a treasure of Chinese civilization and it is regarded as a symbol of the Chinese nation.

中国长城是世界上最伟大的奇观之一。长城有很多分支，总长度达8800千米。它从东部的山海关绵延至西部的嘉峪关。

长城的建造始于战国时期，大约是2500年以前。秦、魏、赵、齐、燕以及中山都曾建造长城保护自己的子民。第一位皇帝秦始皇将长城的所有小墙连接起来，建成长城。

早期用泥土和木头做的墙经过风吹雨打后都有所磨损。很少一部分残留了下来。今天我们看到的长城多数都是建于明朝。它是由石头和砖块造成的，持续时间更久。

古代人建造长城是为了阻挡敌人。明朝的统治者并没有想到长城日后竟然会吸引游客到中国来。据说不到长城非好汉。长城是中华文化的瑰宝，也是中华民族的象征。

2. enemy 敌人 b. to think or believe that something will happen 认为或相信某事将发生

___________________________

The home of tea, which has more than 4 000 years of history, is China. People throughout China drink tea daily. Of the three major drinks---tea, coffee and cocoa, tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea from China, along with silk and porcelain, began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then.

The words for "tea" in different languages came from the Chinese character, "cha". The English word, "tea", sounds similar to the Pronunciation of it in Xiamen, Fujian province. The Russians call it "cha'i", which sounds like "chaye" (tea leaves) as it is pronounced in northern China. The Japanese character for "tea" is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese, thought it is pronounced a little differently.

Tea leaves are produced mainly in the south of China because of the mild climate and rich soil there.Longjing, Pu'er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous teas.

They're produced in the provinces of Zhejiang, Yunnan and Fujian.

Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique tea culture, including tea planting, tea-leaf picking, tea making and tea drinking. Tea is aslo a popular topic in dances, songs, poems and novels.

中国是茶的故乡，有着4000多年历史的茶之乡是中国。全中国的人们每天都喝茶。

在茶、咖啡和可可这三种主要的饮品中，茶在世界上的饮用人数最多。一千多年前，来自中国的茶叶、丝绸和瓷器就闻名世界，从那时起便是中国重要的出口物资。

不同语言中的“茶”来自汉字中的“茶”。英语中“tea”的发音与福建省厦门对“茶”的发音很相似。俄罗斯人将其称为“茶衣”，听起来很像中国北方所说的“茶叶”（茶树的叶子）。日语对“茶”的写法与汉字一模一样，不过发音上有细微差别。

茶叶主要产在中国南方，因为那里有温和的气候和肥沃的土壤。龙井、普洱、乌龙和铁观音都是很出名的茶。它们的出产地在浙江、云南和福建。

过去的几百年间，中国人发展出了自己独特的茶文化，包括种茶、采茶、制茶和品茶。茶在舞蹈、歌曲、诗歌和小说中也是很受欢迎的主题。

再读1a并判断对(T)错(F)。

1. Chinese tea became world-famous over one thousand years ago. （ ）

中国的茶叶在一千多年前就变得世界闻名了。

2. The sound of the English word "tea" is similar to that of "chaye "in northem China.（ ）

3. The written forms of the word "tea" are totally the same in both Chinese and Japanese.（ ）

4. Famous tea leaves in China are produced mainly in the southern part of the country. （ ）

5. Tea drinking is the only part of the Chinese tea culture. （ ）
