Lesson 11
Not Only a Flower
不仅是朵美丽的花
一、令人疯狂的花
1、Tulip is the national flower of the Netherlands which the Dutch people cherish.
2、In 1636, all Dutch started to pursue this expensive and rare flower in Europe.
3、Many people started to invest money on tulips; the price increased twenty times in a few months.
4、In the most frenzied times, a flowering bulb was worth the value of a small villa.
5、The tempting profit prompted many civilians to save money to buy tulips.
6、However, good times never last long, and soon, the price of tulips slumped 90% causing many people to go bankrupt.
二、中国的普洱茶
7、Tea is China's national drink; people had been drinking tea for thousands of years.
8、Chinese tea is also the most traditional export which had been sold all over the world.
9、Nowadays in China, people are starting to gain interest in one special type of tea.
10、This type of tea is indeed very different for it can be made as tea bricks for longer preservation.
11、Moreover, the longer the storage time, the more nutrition it will have and the better the flavor and therefore the higher the price.
三、不仅为了饮用
12、Due to this reason, many people reselling this aging tea brick have earned a large amount of money.
13、The price has increased tenfold.
14,Currently, a 30-year-old tea brick which weighs 500 grams costs around 20、000 Yuan.
15、Many people think that it is not only used in tea drinking, but it also serves as a gift or a collection item so there is still room for its increase in value.
16、Others believe that the price of the tea has seriously deviated from its actual value and contains a big bubble.
四、刺激的吹泡泡游戏
17、Certainly, we all know that prices of any commodity go up and down, but many people stay in the hope of making money before the price goes down.
18、This may be the meaning of so-called speculation.
19、Life is certainly exciting for people doing this kind of business.
