innkeeper,"that once during the war,a small village was taken by theRussians.You happened to be in the village.You hid while they looked for you.Will you tell us how you feltwhen they were looking for you?"Napoleon looked very angry.He called in two of his soldiers.Then hepointed to the door.The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard.At the end of the yard was a wall.The

was 35.The first time I felt a genuine urge to drink teawas in 2003,when I stayed briefly in the United Kingdom.After a time of consuming local food,Istarted to really like strong black tea.I took packs of green tea with me as gifts but was disappointed to find my British friends preferred muchstronger black tea from Sri Lanka.Later I learned that although people know China for its tea,it ranks onlythird among the world"s black tea erporters,after Sri Lanka and Kenya.After I came back to China and started to cover food stories.I met friends in the tea-drinking circle andlearned more.Although the majority of the rest of the world drinks black tea,which the Chinese call "redtea",China process and drinks mostly green tea.I feel lucky to be Chinese because of the great variety oftea available in the country.It is estimated that there are more than 2000 tea in China if you divide themgeographically,including more than 600 locally famous tea.A more simple way to categorize it is by colorand extent of fermentation()That comes down to sir main categories-green,white,yellow,darkgreenish(oolong),red and black tea.Tasting tea can be compared to our life.It can be plain andpredictable but

affairs.In theirsingleminded pursuit of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culturewhich values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents orsociety.Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure bynot trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an ercuse:"I may have lost,but itdoesn"t matter because I really didn"t try."What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that ifthey had really tried and lost.that wowld mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based onthe mistaken belief that one"s selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both areafraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a4.(8)Sydney"s

noises made by rubbish brins inthe past.You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around,and what we"ll do is have aseries of noises,at the beginning and end of the day.What we"ve found in the past is that the flyingfores leave the gardens and go somewhere else."said Tim.The gray-headed flying for is Australia"s largest bat.It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerfulsense
