TOKYO：Elderly people who drink several cups of green tea a day are less likely to suffer from depression（消沉，壓抑），probably due to a “feel good” chemical found in this type of tea，Japanese researchers said．

    Several studies have related drinking green tea to reducing psychological problems and Kaijun Niu，of Tohoku University Graduate School，and colleagues found people aged 70 and older who drank four or more cups of green tea daily were 44 percent less likely to experience depression．

    Green tea is widely drunk in many Asian countries，including China and Japan．

    Niu's team studied 1，058 healthy elderly men and women．About 34 percent of the men and 39 percent of the women had signs of depression，according to the study that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition．

    A total of 488 participants（參與者）said they drank four or more cups of green tea a day，284 said they downed two to three cups daily and the rest reported having one or fewer cups daily．

    According to the researchers，the apparent effect of drinking more green tea on alleviating depression did not become less after they considered other factors， such as social economic status，sex，diet，history of medical problems and use of antidepressants．

    There was no link between drinking black or oolong tea，or coffee，and lower degree of depression．

    The amino acid theanine，contained in green tea，which is thought to have a calming effect on the brain，may explain the beneficial effect shown in the current study，Niu noted，adding that more study is needed．

3．What’s the writers attitude towards the result of the study?

      A．He is interested in it and totally supportive of it．

      B．He holds the opinion that it is of little value．

      C．He only reports the fact without mentioning his own opinion．

      D．He seriously criticizes the result of the study．

The peoples of the Scandinavian countries share a lot in common for geographical reasons. But there are more of differences than similarities between them in all ways，including their drinking customs.

A superficial① observer might think that no one in Norway drinks wine. Meals eaten in restaurants or at home are usually washed down with tea, coffee or milk. Occasionally however，pale or dark ale② is drunk. It can be ordered only in restaurants, where it is served only with food.

Excellent quality beers are made in Jutland and consumption is high. After beer, brandy is the favorite drink. Aalborg schnapps made from corn and potatoes, is famous for its high alcoholic content. For the Danes, brandy is also an aperitif③ and is often drunk before meals. For a foreigner, the practice of surrounding toasts here can be uncomfortable. If he accepts one toast then he will have to accept all others, and it is difficult to drink six or seven glasses of brandy unless one is used to it. Ladies are fortunately excluded from these rounds and they drink only a grape juice with almost no alcoholic content.

It is milk instead of liquor that is the principal④ Finnish table drink. More milk is drunk by the Finnish people than in any other nation. In Finland the sale of alcohol is a state behavior and a check is kept on consumption by recording purchases on special card issued to all customers.

As there is a difference between Swedish cooking in the south and that in the north because of the difference in soil and climate, their drinking habits are also different. In the north alcoholic beverages⑤ are considered a necessity because they keep out the cold. While in the south people have milder drinks. But generally speaking, too much drinking is rare in Sweden, partly because it is against the law.

Sale of spirits is controlled, the Swedes drink much coffee and tea. Many people still prefer the old-fashioned coffee served in large cups with cakes. Tea is so popular in Sweden that it has been called the Swedish national drink.

Notes:

① superficial  adj.  表面上的

② ale  n.  麥牙酒

③ aperitif  n.  開(kāi)胃酒

④ principal  adj.  最重要的；主要的

⑤ alcoholic beverage   n.  烈酒

3. Which of the following people like milk more than other drinks?

You may admire both the romantic love story and the mysterious city of Rome in the movie Roman Holiday. If you are planning to visit Rome, here are some cultural dos and don’ts you should know.

Coffee Etiquette: Italian breakfast consists of pastry and a cup of Cappuccino or shot of espresso. If eaten outside of home, breakfast is always consumed standing up at the local bar. An espresso is not sipped; it is downed in one gulp. Cappuccino is generally a morning drink and is not drunk after noon by real Italians. A post-dinner espresso, however, is common practice.

Dinner Rules: It is expected for guests to arrive for dinner reservations at least fifteen minutes late. In many restaurants, printed menus are for tourists. Regular patrons know to ask for the daily specials, which typically feature the freshest ingredients. Bread, when served, is rarely accompanied by butter or olive oil.

Drink the Water: Rome has plenty of public water fountains, and real Romans (and their dogs) always drink directly from them. Many people also refill their water bottle from these fountains.

Mind the Traffic: Unless there's a traffic light, or you are in a crosswalk, don't expect cars to stop for you. Though crosswalks go first, in a car – crazy city, still you’d better keep cautious and walk cautiously.

Money: Always have some euros with you. Most major hotels, restaurants, and shops take credit cards, but many smaller operations either will either be unwilling to accept them for smaller purchases or do not accept credit cards at all. ATMs are available around the city and at the airports.

About Soccer: Most Italian men are passionate about their soccer. Arm yourself with some knowledge of Italy's soccer scene, and you will find ready conversation partners almost everywhere.

The Romans: The people here love to share their thoughts, opinions and emotions. They are creative, passionate, playful, occasionally rude or vain but always entertaining, and almost always good – humored.

It's time you started eating sensibly. Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week listed eight bad eating habits.
●Watching television while having meals or snacks.
Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion (消化) diseases. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.
● Replacing meals with snacks.
Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates (碳水化合物),proteins and vitamins. Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt.
●Having drinks rather than water.
Fizzy (有氣泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can
cause weight problems. Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly. For your body to burn fat, it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Liquids like soda and coffee actually take water away from your body.
●Refusing to drink milk.
Milk is the best natural food—it provides you with protein, which makes your bones strong and teeth healthy.
● Choosing meat and certain vegetables over others.
Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition. If you don't have a balanced diet, this can result in malnutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)失調(diào)) and a weaker body.
●Eating in front of the computer and staying there after meals.
Take a walk after eating and it helps your stomach digest the meal.
●Buying from roadside snack bars.
If you shop at these places, be careful—many are not clean enough.
● Eating throat tablets as if they were sweets.
If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease, they may affect the bacteria in your mouth and cause real throat problems.
【小題1】______ can possibly cause digestion problem.

A．Eating while sitting in front of TV or computer

D．Buying from roadside snack bars.

A．They help brain cells work properly.	B．They make your body sick.
C．They take water away from your body.	D．They supply energy for your body.

A．Often eating small snacks.	B．Never drinking milk.
C．Always eating the same kinds of food.	D．Staying in front of a computer after the meal.
