Americans are far more knowledgeable about drinks than they were 20 years 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．

Tea is available in more places than ever．The Tea Association of the United States reports that from 1990 to 1999, annual sales of the drink grew to $4．6 billion from $1．8 billion．“Green tea is seen by consumers as a ‘functional food’” — delivering health benefits beyond food itself, says Vierhile．

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 1998 study, Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44 percent 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．

   One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC, a compound 20 times as powerful as vitamin E and 200 times 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．

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 coffee 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．

Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.

If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you'll not move before the host says “Come in, please!”. After you enter the room, you wouldn’t sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a tea-table before you or sent to your hand, you’ll say “Thank you” and receive it with your two hands, not one hand, or they’ll think you are ill-mannered.

Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay (马来西亚的) house, a guest never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host, especially (尤其) the hostess pleased.

In China, when the host opens the door, ____ before he says “Come in, please!”

A. you won't leave      

B. you won't walk

C. you won't stand in front of him  

D. you won't get in

In European countries,____ when you get into a house.

A. you needn't take off your shoes               B. you must take off your dirty shoes

In a Malay house, a guest leaves a little food to show that ____.

A. he has enjoyed it                          B. he is quite full

C. he is not hungry at all                      D. he needs some drink

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain with nothing else in it. Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

Another tea drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in teapot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.

In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea --- “iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China．

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans．Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now．

Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea．”

As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea ．

I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story．My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses．

At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian．It was a strange country．

How things change! And how soon!

Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”．And everyone is talking about China．

The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done．A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”．

But it’s a two-way street．I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software．Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China．

No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments．

No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year．

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea．

According to the passage, the author left _____ for ______．

     A．India; China             B．China; India

       C．China; Longjing          D．India; Shenzhen

     A．The exchanges between Indian and China benefit both．

     B．China and India have different traffic rules．

     C．Tea trade works wonders in both India and China．

     D．Chinese produces are popular in both China and India．
