Question

IX. 任务型阅读。

If I can give up coffee, anyone can! I was completely addicted (上瘾). I drank coffee all day. I depended on it for everything. Without coffee, I became sad and anxious. I would feel nervous if I couldn’t get some coffee before an important event like giving a speech or taking an exam.

It took countless tries before I realized how to give up coffee. Between each try, I learned a little bit more. Here’s how I did it.

Coffee Addiction Knowledge

The first step is to learn about what you are dealing with. Caffeine is a drug. The human body gets addicted to it easily. That’s why you feel good when you get your first cup of coffee in the morning and it’s why you feel bad when you try to give it up. There are emotional addictions to the caffeine as well. Some people believe that with the caffeine you will perform better and have more confidence.

Gradually Cut the Amount and Then Replace (替代)It with Green Tea

You can give up coffee suddenly, but why put yourself through that unless you need an unpleasant experience? You can follow these two steps.

1) Gradually cut the amount of coffee you drink according to a plan. Let’s say, you normally drink 5 cups of coffee a day. Over a one-week period, cut out one cup ________ so that by the sixth day you’re at zero.

2) On your first day without coffee replace it with green tea. Green tea has the lowest amount of caffeine of most teas, but don’t expect any similar coffee taste.
