Section A目标与分析学习内容与过程课文解读Section A An Accidental InventionDid 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 nearly 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‖, m entioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.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 le ss 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. 要点详解1.the style of the shoes鞋子的款式扩展：in style 时髦的out of style 过时的eg: Her clothes are always in style.2.My pleasure!非常愿意！辨析pleasure / pleased / pleasantpleasure n. 高兴，愉悦My pleasure. /With pleasure / It’s a pleasure. --Thanks for helping me. –My pleasure. pleased adj 高兴的be pleased to do sth 乐于做某事be pleased with 对。

Then in 1936 in Britain, it became an event at the Olympics.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was a college teacher, he was asked to think of a game that could be played in the winter. Dr Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. Players on the same team must work together to get theball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even factories. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, but it has also become a popular sport to watch.
