Tea vs Coffee
Tea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the United States. With popularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years, many consumers have recently considered
making the switch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so already. All the buzz surrounding tea
and coffee may have you wondering, what are the differences? As it turns out, the differences are
many and varied.
In the US, interest in tea ranges from coast to coast with the highest in Hawaii and California
but stretching to the eastern states of Vermont and New York. On the other hand, the highest interest
in coffee tends to be concentrated more in the north and western regions(地区), with the highest
search volumes appearing in the states of Hawaii, Washington and Minnesota.
Differences between tea and coffee also vary in origin and production. All tea comes from the
harvested leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, while there are about 60 different species of coffee
plants. Production of tea is quicker and more efficient: Camellia sinensis plants only need to grow
for three years before they are ready to process; coffee plants take up to five years.
Perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea
is the question of caffeine. The good news is, when it comes to tea and caffeine, there is something
for everyone. Unlike coffee, which typically only comes in decaffeinated and regular, there are
several varieties of tea available, based on caffeine preference.
From herbal teas that are naturally free of caffeine, to high quality green and black teas that
offer less than half the caffeine of coffee, to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulated
HiCAF? blends that contain slightly more caffeine than a cup of coffee, there is a variety sure to
suit your needs. As an added bonus, the lower acidity levels in tea tend to be gentler on the stomach
for a more comforting pick-me-up.
So what is the answer, coffee or tea? If you are looking for the most healthful benefit possible,
tea is probably the winner. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If, like many Americans,

When you’re a parent to a young child, you spend a lot of time talking about feelings: about having to share, about being disappointed because you may not have a cookie instead of broccoli(绿花椰菜), about the great injustice of a parent pressing the elevator button before the child has a chance to.
And in a parenting culture that’s increasingly concerned with centering children’s needs above all else, mothers and fathers have become skillful at talking about their kids’ feelings while masking their own. But new research suggests that parents who hide their negative emotions are doing their children, and themselves harm.
A study published this month says that when parents put on a faux-happy (假开心)face for their kids, they do damage to their own sense of wellbeing and authenticity.
“For the average parent the findings suggest when they attempt to hide their negative emotion expression and over express their positive emotions with their children, it actually comes at a cost: doing so may lead parents to feel worse themselves,” researcher Dr Emily Impett, says.
It makes sense that parents often fall back on amping up (扩大) the positivity for the sake of their children—there are a lot of things in the world we want to protect our kids from. But children are often smarter than we expect and are quite in tune with what the people closest to them—their parents—are feeling.
There was a time about a year or so ago, for example, when I received some bad news over the phone; I was home with my four-year-old and so I did my best to put on a brave face. She knew immediately something was wrong though, and was confused.
When I finally let a few tears out and explained that Mom heard something sad about a friend, she was, of course, just fine. My daughter patted my shoulder, gave me a hug, and went back to playing. She felt better that she was able to help me, and the moment made a lot more sense to her emotionally than a smiling mom holding back sobs. I was glad that I could feel sad momentarily and not have to work hard to hide that.
Relaying positive feelings to your children when you don’t feel them is a move the researchers called high cost—that it may seem like the most beneficial to your child at the time but that parents should find other ways of communicating emotions that “allow them to feel true to themselves”.
But this is also about children seeing the world in a more honest way. While we will want to protect our children from things that aren’t age-appropriate or harmful, it’s better to raise a generation of kids who understand that moms and dads are people too.
1. What is the typical behavior of parents when they bring up their children?
A. Allowing their children chances to do things themselves.
B. Expressing their dissatisfaction with their children.
C. Hiding their true emotions from their children.
D. Sharing their favorite food with their children.
2.If parents put on a faux-happy face, _______.
A. their children will be protected
B. their children will be taken in
C. they will feel happy as a result
D. they will undergo worse feelings
3. The author mentioned the example of her daughter to illustrate ______.
A. children are not so clever as parents think
B. children can often understand parents’ true feelings
C. it’s meaningful for parents to always look positive
D. it’s necessary to expose children to harmful things
4.We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. protecting children from age-inappropriate things is important
B. it makes sense for children to know their parents’ negative feelings
C. children will admire their parents more because of being protected
D. separation from negative feelings helps children see the world honestly
