17."Another bad day at school?"my father asked as I came into the room."How could you tell?I didn't shut the door heavily or anything,"I replied.Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school.Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.
"I know this move has been hard on you.Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,"Papa said,as he put his arm around my shoulder."What you must remember is that,with a lot of hard work and some time,you will make new friends."
"You don't know how hard it is.This year my baseball team would have won the championship.They won't even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here.All I get to play is right field,and that's the worst!"
Papa turned toward me."Things will get better,I promise you.Let me ask you,do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?"
"Yes,your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo."
"Very good,and what makes your grandfather so important?"
"He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,"I answered.
"That is only partly correct.Your grandfather was a very great man.In Mexico,he had been a teacher.When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn't speak the language.It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here,but he did it.He never complained because he knew change could be difficult.Did he ever tell you that?"my father asked.
I looked down at my feet,ashamed at my behavior."No.That must have been hard,"I said sheepishly.
"Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent,they will accept you for who you are.I want you to always remember what my father taught me,even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,"said Papa.
All I could say was,"Okay."Then I asked,"What should I do now?"
Laughing,Papa said,"How about you pitch a few to me?You need some work."

A.The spreading tea B.The history of tea growing C.Changes of tastes for drinks D.Reducing cancer risks E.The plant Camellia sinensis F.A woman's opinion of tea |
Americans are far more knowledgeable about drinks than they were 20years ago.Witness the Starbucks revolution and you'll know where the trend goes.Now,encouraged by recent studies suggesting that it can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease and slow the aging process,tea is enjoying a similar change.Enough fashionable tea houses are springing up to make even longtime coffee drinkers consider switching drinks.
62.A
Tea is available in more places than ever.The Tea Associa-tion of the United States reports that from 1990to 1999,annual sales of the drink grew to 4.6billionfrom 1.8billion."Green tea is seen by consumers as a'functional food'"-delivering health benefits beyond food itself,says Vierhile.
63.E
Recently published studies point out that only teas that come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis have been shown to contain health benefits.Other herbal teas may taste good,yet they do little more than warm up the drinker.But for Camellia sinensis,the evidence is powerful.In a 1998study,Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44percent compared with non-tea drinkers,and other studies have suggested that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂)in these so-called real teas can also prevent cancer.
64.D
One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC,a compound 20times as powerful as vitamin E and 200times as powerful as vitamin C."When people ask me for something good and cheap they can do to reduce their cancer risk,I tell them to drink real tea,"says Mitchell Gaynor,director of medical oncology at New York City's Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center.
65.F
Among those inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga,a New York writer who took it up after seeking advice from a nutritionist six years ago."I've never been a cof-fee drinker,"says Ghilaga,33."She told me to start drinking green tea for the antioxidant qualities."Now Ghilaga and her husband habitually make tea-they order theirs from Inpursuitoftea.Com,an Internet tea company.And although tea contains about half the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee,"you still get such a kick from it,"says Ghilaga.
