【推荐1】Minor Snow, or “Xiao Xue”in Chinese, is the 20th solar term of the Chinese lunar (阴历的) year, lasting from November 22 to December 6. As the name says, the period refers to the time of the year when the weather starts getting colder. According to an old Chinese saying, “If the sky is full of snow during Minor Snow, next year will be a harvest (丰收) year”.The right kind of weather during Minor Snow will help the crops grow. Low temperature with the snow can kill some hidden pests (害虫) in the soil which can reduce the pests and diseases in the following year. More importantly, snow covers on the soil, which is like a blanket (毯子) to keep the soil warm. During Minor Snow, the temperature falls sharply and the air becomes dry. People change their eating habit to adapt (适应) the environment. In most of north China, the temperature drops below zero degrees. People drink more hot soup to keep them warm. At the same time, in some areas of south China, it is a custom to eat rice cakes for more energy.

【推荐2】Tea bag drinking is most Westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1980 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon popular in the UK, and today 85%of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies (公司) put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.
