20、d golden like sunlight cracking through heavy cloud. I went on to say that in my opinion a “real” short story was closer to poetry than to the novel.Here are some definitions of the short story. My favorite is Benets: “something that can be read in an hour and remembered for a lifetime”。 One writer
21、said: “the theme of a novel wont fit into the framework of a short story; its like trying to squeeze a large painting done on a wall into the frame of a miniature （微型画）。 And as in a miniature painting, the details need to be sharp. ”The short story is an example of one aspect of human nature. Often
22、a character undergoes some event, something that offers him or her change. This is why its said that short stories usually “say something ”， often a small something, but sometimes delivered with such accuracy that the effect is strongly felt, even a life-moment for some readers, something similar to
23、 a religious experience or to witnessing a never-to-be-repeated scene in nature.Ok, lets form a definition here: A short story is an account, rarely over 10, 000 words or below 500 words-more commonly 1, 500 to 5, 000 words-a single-sitting read, but with enough time and weight to move the reader. I
24、t is narrow and focused to produce an effect through the story, most commonly through events affecting some change in an individual.Writer Isabelle Allende once wrote: “Novels are, for me, adding up details, just work, work, work, then youre done.

27、in Sri Lanka are actually large estates（种植园）。 The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important beca
28、use it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots fr
29、om the plant, which are the parts used for processing（加工） tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.Processi
30、ng tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill .There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required .For black tea ,the young green leaves are first spread out o shelves to dry.
