Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world（after water）was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.

A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.

It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

8 . Salted fish is a common food that is popular in the south of China. It is chewy (有嚼劲的) and adds a salty flavor (滋味) to other dished. But eating too much salted fish can give you cancer (癌症), according to a list of cancer-causing foods that was published by the China Food and Drug Administration.

Salted fish is produced with a large amount of salt, which later turns into nitrites (亚硝酸盐). When nitrites reach our stomach, they turn into another kind of chemical that can cause cancer, Huang Yufang from the Cancer of Guangzhou Medical University told Xinhua News Agency.

So does this mean we can’t eat salted fish anymore?

“People don’t need to worry too much. It has to do with how often you eat certain foods and how much of them you eat,” Huang said. If you really like eating salted fish, you can eat a small amount once or twice a month. You should also eat more fruit and vegetables that are rich in vitamin C, as this can help to prevent the formation (形成) of nitrites.

In fact, there are many foods we often eat that are thought to cause cancer, such as pickles (咸菜), certain fried foods and even red meat, such as pork, lamb and beef. Although these foods may cause cancer, it doesn’t mean a person will get cancer just from eating them, according to the World Health Organization. Cancer is caused by many different factors, such as one’s genes (基因), environment, lifestyle and eating habits. As long as one has a balanced diet, one doesn’t need to avoid cancer- causing foods completely, Fang Yu, a doctor from the Beijing Cancer Hospital, told People’s Daily.

A．Because it is a common food in the south of China.
