It is reported that tea has helped the poor farmers in Yunnan find a way out of poverty（贫穷） thanks to the efforts of a man named Ren Huaican.
Ren was suffering mouth ulcers （溃疡） when he first visited the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er City in the spring of 2006. However, after picking off several leaves from the old tea trees and chewing （咀嚼） them, he found the pain was gone the next morning. He felt very amazed. Ren began to show great interest in the tea from Yunnan. He found that the local tea business was very scattered （分散的）.He also realized that the local tea farmers were very poor because of the underdeveloped tea market. So he made up his mind to develop the tea industry in order to help the local people get out of poverty.
In September 2006, Ren set up a tea company. He hired（雇佣） poor farmers from neighboring areas to pick tea leaves. Professional technicians（技师） were invited to teach the farmers how to do their jobs scientifically. The company taught them how to manage their trees and produce the best tea. As a result, their tea quality has greatly improved, and the price has gone up. In this way, the tea company has helped many people get out of poverty.

【推荐1】On Thursday, Uncle Max called Tom, “Tom, I was wondering if you’d like to go camping with me this weekend.”
Tom said, “I’m not sure, Uncle Max. Why do you want to go camping?”
“Well, I am going to write a story about endangered animals for the paper. I think it will help with my writing if I go up to the mountains. I just won’t get a feel for nature if I stay in my apartment in the city.”
“Sure, I’ll go with you,” Tom said, “Don’t forget your camera.”
“I won’t.” Uncle Max smiled.
On Saturday morning, Uncle Max and Tom got an early start. After they put up the tent, they sat down to relax. “It seems hard to believe that animals could be in danger in place as beautiful as this,” Tom said.
“You’re right,” Uncle Max said. “That’s why my story is so important. In the past, uncontrolled hunting (捕猎) was the main reason for animal extinction (灭绝). But now, many wild animals in our country are protected by laws. These laws limit hunting.”
“Why are some animals in danger now?” Tom asked.
“Some of their homes are destroyed (破坏) by pollution. Also, the land is used for homes, farms, and highways. That leaves fewer places for animals to live. So some land has to be left as national parks for wildlife,” said Uncle Max.
“I’m glad you invited me,” Tom said. “I just didn’t know how much animals depend on us. I think your story will help all of us.”

【推荐2】Children were standing around their grandfather. That day, there was a fight between two men and the grandfather was asked to stop it. The children were curious about the fight, so they kept asking. One of them asked, “Grandpa, why do people sometimes fight?”
The old man replied. “Well, my child, do you know we all have a white wolf and a black wolf inside us? The white wolf is filled with good emotions(情绪) such as love, hope and courage. However, the black wolf is filled with bad emotions, like fear, anger and regret. The two wolves are in everyone’s chest(胸膛) , and they often fight each other.”
The eyes of the children grew big.
“In our chests too?” asked another child. The grandfather nodded his head and said, “Yes.”
“And in your chest too?” asked the third one. The grandfather replied, “Yes, in my chest too.”
The grandfather surely had all the children’s attention now, and continued, “People fight, because the bad emotions control them. Their black wolves beat the white wolves.”
Then he stopped. There was complete silence and all the children were curiously looking toward him. At last, the child that asked the first question could not wait any more and broke the silence, “But Grandfather, how can we make the white wolf win?”
