Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German website for statistics(數(shù)據(jù)）, global tea production reached about 5.8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage(飲品） in the world – after water, of course.

According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It’s a big part of many cultures around the world. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country’s identity. Making Malaysia’s pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects.

Apart from its cultural significance（意義）, tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire,” Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today: preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer have all been linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US.

Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink – it’s a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life. (改編自 21 世紀(jì)英語網(wǎng)站）

Online exhibitions

Last year, the Palace Museum released a program called the Panoramic Palace Museum on its official website. By putting on a virtual reality (VR) headset, people can take a “tour” of the 600-year-old museum, going slowly without a time limit. This means you can explore its halls, gardens and courtyards and learn about the stories behind the exhibits .

“During a field visit to the Palace Museum, it is difficult to visit some hidden places and view all the palace decorations in detail,” Li Bin, a museum lover from Xi’an, told China Daily. “But VR technology has made these experiences possible. It helps me beat the boredom at home.”

According to Xinhua, a total of 30 museums across China have provided similar online exhibitions to people.

Live streamed concert

Chinese video app Bilibili launched a series of music events for stuck-at-home people. The company teamed up with the yearly Strawberry Music Festival to create the Stay at Home Strawberry concert series, with a theme of “Hi, I’m at home too.” The series was live streamed free of charge from Feb 4 to Feb 8, on Bilibili.

During this period, audiences could participate in the website’s bullet chat, sharing comments onscreen in real time.

“Watching online concerts and sharing comments with others can give me a sense of community and fun of being at a large event while being stuck at home and away from friends and coworkers,”Manny, an Bilibili user commented on the website.

They are bar-codes（條形碼）used in most products. If you go to a supermarket，you can see almost every product with a bar-code on it. Bar-codes have information about the product, such as name and production date.It's an easy and convenient way to know about the products. Just scan the bar-code and everything is clear.

The first use of a bar-code in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974.Beyond supermarkets, bar-codes are needed everywhere:for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels(包裹) you send. Life would be rather difficult without bar-codes.Most of our things would get lost in the post.

Bar-codes change as well.Bar-codes in the past were 1-D(one-dimensional空間), but now there are 2-D bar-codes,such as QR code.Since 2009, QR has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums,cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of bar-codes.

With these small codes, life is getting much easier for us.

If you find these bar-code things boring, a bar-code building might be more up your street.
