Basketball, running and swimming are popular events (项目) at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let's see if you have any knowledge about the following events.
Tug- of- war This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals.
Rope climbing It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 metres long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 metres, for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing in the Olympics.
Race walking In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they do not run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter in 20- kilometre and 50- kilometre races; women only race 20 kilometres.

Tea is tasty and good for you. It is also one of the most popular drinks around the world. But what is tea And why is it so popular
All tea comes from tea leaves but tea is not always the same. There are many kinds of tea. You can drink black tea, green tea, white tea or fruit tea. Each type of tea has a different taste and a different color.
The history of tea begins in Asia. In China, Korea and Japan, tea is still very important today. In Japan, it can take many hours to prepare and drink tea with your guests. In Malaysia, a popular drink at breakfast is teh tarik (pulled tea). Malaysians say it is good for you and it tastes good with canai bread.
Tourists in Kuala Lumpur like watching the tea sellers make“ pulled tea”. The tea sellers pour hot water on black tea. After five minutes, they add sugar and milk. Then they“ pull” the tea— they pour the tea from one cup to another many times.
In many countries, you must have a special kettle to make tea. People in different countries also like to add different things to their tea. For example, Russians use a special kettle called a samovar. They like drinking tea with lemon. Sometimes, they also drink tea with some sugar or jam.
In Turkey, tea comes in a Caydanlik. A Caydanlik has two kettles: one for the water and one for the tea. Drink Turkish tea with some sugar.
