American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system against infection(感染).Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston,Massachusetts,did the study.The team studied a chemical found in black,green,oolong and pekoe tea This chemical is an amino acid(氨基酸)called L-theanine.The scientists say it may increase the strength of Gamma delta T cells,which are part of the body’s defenses.
First,the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens(抗原)found in the amino acid Antigens help the body react to infection.Then the scientists added some bacteria(細(xì)菌).
Within twenty-four hours,the cells produced a lot of interferon,a substance that fights infection Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.
In the second part of the study,eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day.Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee.That is dried coffee mixed with hot water.
Two weeks later,and again two weeks after that,the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people.They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells.They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.
Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study He says the antigens added to the Gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria.He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.
Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people.If the findings prove to be true,he says,then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections.He says the amino acid L-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the body’s defenses.

A.Gamma delta T cells B.L-theanine
C.interferon D.bacteria
74.Tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system because it helps .

I am so worried about global warming. We need stop cutting down all of the trees so that they can absorb the carbon dioxide. I think the Kyoto Protocol (京都議定書(shū)) to stop pollution is a great idea ,and I hope our country will decide to follow it, too.
— Eli S.,10,Texa
People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.
— Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett
The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.
— Aaron z,11,Massachusett
It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting (污染物排放)countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.
—Augustine S.,11,Ohio
The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!
— Jillian J.,10,Pennsylvania
Global warming is very dangerous, and it must be prevented. Even if people think that it cannot be stopped ,we should at least try. Stopping global warming is more important than keeping our businesses going. What about the penguins(企鵝)and the polar bears? We can’t just let them become extinct.
—Samantha R.,11,Illinois
72.Why does Lindsey suggest schools put recycling bins in classrooms?
A.To keep the classroom clean B. To help protect wild animals.

Shopping in the United States changes a lot.About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family.Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born.In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.
The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall.A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof.Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular.The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping.If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee.Malls are places for teenagers to hang out.Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends.
The recent change in American shopping was the superstore.Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys “R” Us have been built all across the United States.Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores.Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close.They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.
And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States.People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet.Online shopping has lots of advantages.For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day.Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores.While, online shopping also has its disadvantages.People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store.And privacy of personal information may be let out.
1.Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?
①small stores ②superstores ③shopping malls ④shopping online ⑤supermarkets
A.①②③④⑤ B.①⑤③②④ C.②③④①⑤ D.①⑤②③④
2.Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?
A.Small stores. B.Supermarkets. C.Shopping malls D.Superstores.
3.Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?
A.Because they can buy goods at a reduction in price.
B.Because they are across the United States.
C.Because they sell all kinds of products people need.
D.Because they are built near small towns.
