Which country grows the most tea？The answer is India.It grows three times as much as China.Which country drinks the most tea？It's neither China nor Japan.It's Great Britain.

In the wild，tea plants may be 9 meters tall.But a plant grown for market is pruned.Pruning keeps the plant only 0.9 or 1.2 meters tall.This is an easy height for tea picking.Only the two top leaves and bud（芽）of each new shoot are picked.So to make money，tea plantations （种植园） must be huge.

In general，there are two kinds of tea：black tea and green tea.Black tea is fermented （发酵）.In the process，the tea loses nearly all of its healthy parts.Green tea is steamed （蒸） right after the leaves are picked.Green tea keeps its healthy parts.For example，it may prevent heart illness.

How did we get tea bags？The answer：by accident.Tea businessmen used to send samples（样品）in tin（锡）boxes.This was very expensive.One businessman thought of a cheaper way.He sent samples in small silk bags.Customers would open the bag.They would make tea as usual.One customer put the bag into a pot.Then he just poured hot water over it.And the tea bag was born.

Shen Nong was the first to drink tea.He was a Chinese emperor.This was about 2737 B.C.Shen drank several cups of hot water daily.One day something happened.Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot.The next cup was poured.The water was now colored.Shen tasted it.He liked it.He drank it all.Shen was proud of his new drink.He served it to his guests.Word spread.People thought this way：tea is good enough for the Emperor，so it must be good enough for the people.Tea became the drink of China.

The next of our trip was the village of Kangmian.Many families now live there after leaving uninhabitable（不适合居住的）areas.The new village has 450 housing units.There I have learned that the government helps the people by providing jobs so that they can support themselves.Of the 1，331 villagers，609 now have jobs.

In Shuiduichong，a traditional Yao ethnic（瑶族）group village，we visited the workshops for making silver ornaments（饰品）.We discovered the skill had a history of more than 200 year.Besides the traditional use of silver ornaments in Yao culture，         ▲         .

If we want to grow as people，we can't just depend on our own evaluation（评价）of how we're doing.We also need to know what other people think about our performance.Receiving feedback（反馈）from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success.However，someone has to give that feedback，and sometimes，that someone will be you.How should you deal with this？

First things first-if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful，give it as soon as you can.If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind，they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.Take the person to a safe，comfortable place and offer your advice in private.

When you're giving feedback，it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.Make sure you give an equal（相等的）amount of good feedback to balance out（平衡）anything bad.Like the saying goes， " A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

All good feedback shares something in common.First，it should help achieve a goal.It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes "interesting" than it is to suggest adding a little salt.Feedback should also look toward the future.You can't change what's already happened，but you can prevent it from happening again.Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.

Finally，don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation.You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback.Don't take it personally﹣﹣it can only help you give better advice next time.

（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph probably mean？ 　 　

A．	Seeing the picture.
B．	Giving feedback.
C．	Receiving feedback.
D．	Showing a way to success.

（2）Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2？       

A．	You might forget to tell the person later on.
B．	Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away.
C．	Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice.
D．	If you wait to long，the person might forget what's happened.

（3）What can we infer（推断）from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3？ 　    　

A．	It's helpful to keep on giving bad feedback.
B．	It's difficult to do a good job all the time.
C．	It's better to balance good and bad feedback.
D．	It's important to think twice before giving feedback.

（4）The passage is mainly about 　 　.
