【題目】

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 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 on the leaves and dry them. In their spare time, they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into a house, he is served with a cup of tea.

A 22-year-old British student has invented(發(fā)明) a mobile fridge, “Isobar”, which could save millions of lives in the world.

Will Broadway’s “Isobar” has been designed to k【1】 vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And Will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His p【2】 is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(專利). Will’s Isobar has w【3】 him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to design something that solves a problem.

Present m【4】 of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(凍住) before reaching their places in developing countries, b【5】 the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.

Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people a【6】 the world. After finishing college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I will be hands-on, all the way through it, and make sure that it w【7】, ” he says.

The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other m【8】 uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)—if they get trapped in t【9】, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time, ” he says.

There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip w【10】 you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function (功能) of his invention.
