Where can you learn about the cultural relics(文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books，but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them.
The show is called National Treasure. It has 10 episodes(集). It shows 27 treasures from 9 museums across China. In order to make ancient culture relics come alive，the show uses different ways to explain the story，history and culture behind them.
Although it's a show about old relics，it looks modern and technical(技术的). An IMAXsized LED screen on the stage shows the treasures in detail.
The treasures are presented(呈现) by national treasure keepers(守护者)，both famous people and common people. Instead of just telling the stories and history behind the treasures，the show invites famous actors to be national treasures keepers. And they act out the stories on the stage. The actors even use the funny words to make their performances interesting and alive. For example，on the show，actor Wang Kai plays Emperor Qianlong. TV viewers love his performances.
While telling the stories behind the treasures，national treasure keepers also tell their own stories. For example，an old man named Qiu Qingnian is good at making natural paints for repairing ancient paintings. For many years，he has been looking for mines(矿) deep inside mountains. On the TV program，he shows TV viewers how to make natural paints.
The show has become widely popular with its interesting plots(情节)，good performances and funny words. It has promoted(推广) ancient cultural relics and has encouraged more people to visit museums.

Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England. People there used to drink a light beer(啤酒). No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table!
When tea was first brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. But they did not know how it should be used. They cooked the leaves in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon(熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today.
Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow a great many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the tea leaves are ready to be picked, it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry them.
