　　All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

　　In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouse. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

　　Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony (仪式). It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

　　Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “ teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a tea pot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.

　　In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In the summer, many Americans drink cold tea----“ iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.

Today I took Frank to have a training class (培训课). We got there earlier than most of the other dogs and owners.
Mr. Brown helped us teach our dogs some skills (本领). When the dog did it, he said, “Good dog!” He was a serious man but he laughed a lot with dogs. He said Frank was smarter than other dogs.
Next to Frank was also a smart dog. His name was Sam. His short legs made him look funny, but he could run faster than many of the bigger dogs. His owner was a quiet girl and looked a little shy. So I said hello to her first. I hoped she could be my friend.
At the end of the class, Mr. Brown told me that Frank did the best this class and he would give him a ball.

Long long ago, a young man found a spring of delicious clean water while he was going through the desert. He brought some back to the oldest man in his village, who had been his teacher before. After a four-day journey he sent the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village happily. The next day, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It went bad because it had stayed in the old leather container(皮革容器) for so many days in such hot weather. The student asked his teacher why he pretended(假装) to like the awful water. The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for love and kindness. And nothing could be sweeter than these."
　　I think we understand this lesson best when we receive small gifts of love from very young kids. Whether it's a slice of bread or a piece of colored paper, the natural and right response(反应) is to show our thanks and happiness because we get love from the gift.
　 To show our thanks doesn't always come naturally. Unfortunately, most children and many adults only see the thing itself. They never feel the meaning of the thing. We should tell ourselves and teach our children about showing thanks and happiness to the persons who give the gifts from their hearts because gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.
