（1）你知道茶是被偶然发明的吗？Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5，000 years ago.It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. （2）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.In this way，one of the world's favorite drinks was invented.
    Nowadays，most Chinese like to drink tea.The old like Pu'er tea in Yunnan and Longjin tea in Zhejiang，while the young like green tea with milk.Tea plants are grown in many places around China .（3） 湘西古丈和保靖也以其茶叶而闻名。 
    It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. （4）In England，tea didn't appear until around 1660，but less than 100 years later，it had become the national drink. （5）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 all over 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.
