  长城是在战国时期，也就是2500年前开始建造的。秦、魏、赵、齐、燕和中山国都建造城墙来保护他们的子民。第一位皇帝，即秦始皇，将所有这些较小的城墙连在一起形成了长城。

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,though it is pronounced a little differently.

  不同语言中的“茶”字都源于汉字“茶”。英文单词“tea”听起来与厦门和福建省中茶的发音相似。俄罗斯人将它称之为“cha'i”，听起来就像“茶叶”，正如中国北部地区的发音一样。日语的“茶”字写起来和用汉语写的完全一样，尽管发音略有不同。

• 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.

  茶叶主要产于中国的南部，因为那里气候温和、土壤肥沃。龙井、普洱、乌龙和铁观音都是著名的茶叶。它们产于浙江、云南和福建省。

• The Great Pyramid was considered a unique building in the 19th century A.D. At that time,it was still the tallest building in the world. According to scientific research,the ancient King,Khufu,ordered his men to build the Great Pyramid stone by stone. The biggest stone weighs as much as 15 tons. Each stone was fixed so well,though the ancient workers didn't have any modern tools. The Great Pyramid has four sides and each side is 230.4 meters long and 146.5 meters high. At that time,there were no modern machines or equipment,so how did the ancient Egyptians build the Great Pyramid? To this day,it is still a mystery. But many scientists continue to study their methods. The completion of the Great Pyramid shows the wisdom and the achievements of ancient Egyptian working people.
