2．Zea Tongeman，a 14-year-old student，who is crazy about the Internet，applied technology to create an application that encourages people to recycle while having fun.
Zea was really inspired when she attended "Little Miss Geek Day"，an event that aims at making technology more accessible and appealing to young women and inspiring them to consider technology careers.Soon after，she entered "Apps for Good"，a competition that encourages students to create positive change through technology.Teaming up with her friend，Jordan Stirbu，she laid the foundations for "Jazzy Recycling".

3．While many countries love their tea，UK citizens are particularly proud of being "tea people"．The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year．

There are many varieties of tea．Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK．Black tea is dark in colour，because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize （氧化） before drying．This is why we usually serve it with milk，although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon．You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves，served up in a pot，and poured into the best china cups with saucers （茶托） for visitors．
