       7 . The lid as claimed in  claim 6  wherein the two opposite walls, the part of the lid body extending between the two opposite walls, and the cover, when closed, define a compartment for storing the part of the straw bent underneath the cover. 
   
   
       8 . The lid as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a locking mechanism adapted to releasably lock the cover onto the lid body in the closed position. 
   
   
       9 . The lid as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the cover comprises a pressing member at a lower side thereof, the pressing member is adapted to press the straw against the lid body when closing the cover. 
   
   
       10 . The lid as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the pressing member comprises a curved surface adapted to rollingly press the straw against the lid body when closing the cover. 
   
   
       11 . The lid as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising an air balancing valve. 
   
   
       12 . A lid of a beverage container comprising:
 a lid body comprising a first engaging portion and an opening shaped and sized to receive a straw; and   a cover comprising a second engaging portion adapted to be slidably engaged with the first engaging portion of the lid body, the cover adapted to flip between an open position and a closed position while the second engaging portion is slidably moved along the first engaging portion.   
   
   
       13 . The lid as claimed in  claim 12 . wherein:
 the first engaging portion of the lid body comprises two opposite grooves on two opposite walls, respectively; and   the second engaging portion of the cover comprises two guide rods on two opposite sides of the cover, respectively, the two guide rods adapted to be received in the two grooves, respectively.   
   
   
       14 . The lid as claimed in  claim 12 . wherein:
 the first engaging portion of the lid body comprises two opposite elongated guide projections on two opposite walls, respectively; and   the second engaging member of the cover comprises two concaves on two opposite sides of the cover, respectively, the two concaves adapted to receive a portion of the two elongated guide projections, respectively.   
   
   
       15 . The lid as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the first engaging member of the lid body is arcuate. 
   
   
       16 . The lid as claimed in  claim 12  wherein an end of the cover is abutted against the lid body defining an abutment along which the cover flips. 
   
   
       17 . The lid as claimed in  claim 16  wherein the end of the cover comprises a projection and the lid body comprises a recess adapted to receive the projection. 
   
   
       18 . A lid of a beverage container comprising:
 a lid body comprising two oppositely facing arcuate grooves on two oppositely facing walls, respectively, and an opening shaped and sized to receive a straw; and   a cover comprising two guide rods on two opposite lateral sides of the cover, respectively, the two guide rods being received in the two grooves, respectively, the cover adapted to flip between an open position and a closed position while the guiding member is slidably moved along the sliding channel.   
   
   
       19 . The lid as claimed in  claim 18  wherein an end of the cover is abutted against the lid body defining an abutment along which the cover flips. 
   
   
       20 . The lid as claimed in  claim 19  wherein the end of the cover comprises a projection and the lid body comprises a recess adapted to receive the projection.
