Everyone knows that it’s hard to drink in space because of the low gravity, but Chinese astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong showed us how they drank tea on a TV show during the month-long trip in Shenzhou XI spaceship last year. They used a specially made tea cup and a special Pu’er cream to drink tea while standing upside down.

The Pu’er tea cream they drank is produced in Yunnan province, which is known for its Pu’er tea industry.

“Drinking hot tea is harder,” said Jing Haipeng. “The difficult part of drinking tea in space is that there should not be anything left after the tea dissolves (溶解) in water, also, the solubility(溶解度)of the tea should be low since water in space can only be warmed to 60 degrees at most.”

The tea cream the astronauts drank is produced by Gongrunxiang Tea Industry Corp in Kunming. Zhang Guanghui, manager of Gongrunxiang, said that the company tries to produce a tea cream that’s a safe, healthy tea product. Tea products are often reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals. “I never imagined that one day our tea cream would help astronauts to drink tea in space,” Zhang said, adding that drinking tea in space can be seen as a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry.

“For us, astronauts’ drinking tea in space means our technology used in the tea industry has had some achievements,” Zhang said. “In the future, more tea producers will use it to improve the tea industry.”

If you can’t get along well with your neighbors, you’ll make your life terrible day after day. But if you take the time to develop a good relationship with your neighbors, it can bring you many advantages including a friendlier community, a safer neighborhood and a nicer and more comfortable area. There are some suggestions for you to be a good neighbor.

If you're new in the neighborhood, introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area.

Be aware of the shared walls. If you and your neighbors share living spaces and live close to each other,try to put the noisy washing machines and dryers away from the shared walls.

Keep your pet dog on a leash (皮帶) if it has a habit of running wildly on your neighbor’s lawns,especially if they have a pet of their own, and make sure to clean up after it.

When you park your car, be sure not to block anyone’s doorway or leave them a very small parking space. Don't slam (砰地關(guān)上) your car doors late at night.

Cut the grass in your garden as often as you can, because the grass in your yard is not only ugly but also can spread to your neighbor's yard.

Really good neighbors look after each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that have influence on the larger neighborhood and look for chances to communicate. Great neighbors lead to great neighborhoods.
