Tea to the Chinese is like coffee to the Americans. It's something that they can't live without.
Chinese tea has a history of more than 5,000 years. It was most popular during the Tang Dynasty. China has many kinds of tea. White, yellow, green, oolong (乌龙茶), black and dark tea are the six main kinds.
People in different places drink tea in their own way. People in Guangdong and Fujian love to drink “Kung Fu Tea” in small tea cups. They clean the teapot (茶壶) first with boiling water to warm it up. Then they fill the teapot with tea leaves before putting in the boiling water.
In Beijing, people love jasmine flower(茉莉花)green tea. In Tibet, butter tea (酥油茶) is a popular drink to build up energy.
There are rules to follow when we serve tea to others. Most importantly, remember to make the cup only seven-tenths full. If the cup is too full, it makes the cup too hot for them to hold.
Do you like to listen to music when you feel sad? Do you like to sing songs in the shower? Music is everywhere. But in many countries, music classes in schools are losing their place.
These days, because of the bad economy (经济) in the US, some schools fired (解雇) arts teachers including (包括) music teachers. Some students don't have the chance to learn music. In China, there are no exams for music. So many students choose to make use of their time and study subjects like science, math and history.
But do you know that learning music helps children grow?
“Playing music is like doing different things all together”, said Gottfried Schlaug at Harvard Medical School. For example, when playing the piano, people see the music notes. And they decode (解码) them. At the same time, they use their fingers to make sounds. You do all these things at the same time.
Scientists say that music helps with science too. Einstein played the violin. And German physicist (物理学家) Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
Music is also a very valuable thing. It makes you interested in things, and it makes you happy, according to US National Science Foundation.

Do you drink milk every day? We all know that milk is good for our health. But is that the whole truth (真相)? Let's take a closer look!
