China is the home of tea, which has more than 4000 years of history. People all over China drink tea daily. Of the three main 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 (瓷器),began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export (出口商品) since then.

The world 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 “chai’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.

Tea leaves are produced mainly in the south of China, because of the mild (温和的) climate (气候) and rich soil (土壤) there. Longjing , Pu’er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. They’re produced in the provinces of Zhejiang, Yunnan and Fujian.

Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique (独特的) tea culture, which includes tea planting, tea-leaf picking, tea making, tea drinking, and so on. Tea is also a popular theme which is often mentioned in dances, songs, poems and novels.

I'm writing this article in China, far away from my home in the United States. You might wonder what I do to remember my mom on Mother’s Day. Well, I certainly call her to say “Happy Mother’s Day” and promise that I will visit home soon.

I still remember the first time I forgot Mother’s Day. When I finally figure it out, I asked, “Why does mom get a special holiday? Why isn’t there a Children’s Day!”

My mom explained, in that way that only moms seem to be able to explain, “Because every day is Children's Day!”

I knew that I had messed up. I thought about all the time and love my mom had given me. I thought about the food she had made, the toys she had bought and the long hours she had spent with me. There might not be a perfect mom’s love, which can fix anything. After that day, for 364 days, I was looking forward to the next Mother’s Day.

That was the first year I forgot Mother’s Day. It was also the last year I forgot.

Are you wondering what to do for your mom on Mother’s Day? Common things are to write a message that thanks for the love she has given you, send her a card or buy her a gift. But the most important thing is — DON’T FORGET!

A.He calls his mom. B.He send his mom a card. C.He visits home to see his mom

2.What might the underlined phrase “figure out” mean?

A.make clear B.make progress C.make mistakes

3.Why did the writer begin to look forward to the next?

A.Because he missed his mom far in the United States

B.Because he wanted to spend more time with his mom

C.Because he realized he had got much care from his mom

4.What is the purpose(目的) of the passage?

A.To explain why there isn’t a Children’s Day

B.To advise us not to forget to keep our own promises

C.To remind us to remember the love mom has given us.
