Tea is available in more places than ever. "Tea was one of the most prolific beverage categories in 1999," with 24 percent more products offered over the previous year, reports Tom Vierhile of Marketing Intelligence Service, which tracks food and beverage trends. And 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 sustenance," says Vierhile.
Recently published studies point out that not all brews are created equal. Only teas that come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis — which, in their raw state are brewed to make green tea, and, with curing, can be turned into oolong and black tea leaves — have been shown to contain health benefits. Other herbal teas and infusions 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 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 cheep they can do to reduce their cancer risk, I tell them drink real tea." Says Mitchell Gaynor, director of medical oncology at New York City's Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Centre.
Among those inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga. A new York Writer who took it up after consulting 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 properties." Now Ghilaga and her husband routinely brew tea they order theirs from Inpursuitoftea.com, an internet tea company, which sells a variety of ready-made and raw teas. http://www. alitea.com/ — along with green, black, and oolong tea, this company sells a wide variety of herbal teas and offers a "Tea of the Month" club. http://www. Teasofgreen.com/ — this site sells higher-end green, black and oolong teas and has good tips on proper storage and preparation of tea. http://www. tea.com/ — tea drinkers can find links to sites offering tea lore, such as articles about tea ceremonies in foreign lands. An exhaustive "frequently asked question" file found out the site.

Temperatures at Hudson Bay have risen by one half degree Fahrenheit every decade since 1950. Winter ice on the bay melts three weeks earlier than it did just 25 years ago, which means three fewer weeks of polar bear mealtime. Result: Polar bears are 10 percent thinner and produce 10 percent fewer cubs than they did 20 years ago. And though climatologists hotly debate the causes behind Earth's Arctic meltdown, "these changes are startling and unexpected,' says James McCarthy, co-leader of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The plight of polar bears is just the tip to the iceberg when it comes to mounting evidence of global warming. "There's definitely a stark contrast with the way things were at the start of the 20th century," says atmospheric scientist Leonard Druyan, of Columbia University. Recent data show the volume of Arctic sea ice has shrunk 20 percent since the 1950s; glaciers around the world are melting at rapidly increasing rates. Rivers and lakes in North America, Asia, and Europe now freeze about nine days later and thaw 10 days earlier than they did a century ago.
Most scientists believe the only effective strategy to halt global warming is to drastically reduce emissions of powerful air pollutants like carbon dioxide, which accounts for two-thirds of all greenhouse gases. In the last 150 years, the surging use of fossil fuels coal, oil, and natural gas -- has released 270 billion tons of carbon into the air in the form. of carbon dioxide. Fortunately, oceans, plants, and soils absorb more than half of all atmospheric carbon dioxide -- without them world temperatures might have already soared at an alarming rate.
By saying "Spring is usually prime food time for 1,200 polar bears"? (Line I, Para. 1), the author means that ______.
A.spring is usually a good time for polar bears to carry out their mating rituals
B.the polar bears usually eat a lot in the spring
C.spring is generally a good time to hunt polar bears
D.polar bears usually hibernate in the spring
A recent survey of over 16,000 children made by the National Child Development Study in London revealed that children whose fathers came to school conferences and accompanied their children on outing did measurably better in school than those children whose fathers were not involved in those activities. The study, which monitored children born during a week in March, 1992, from the time of their birth through the years of their early schooling, further revealed that the children of actively involved fathers scored much higher in reading and math than those children whose only involved parent was the mother. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by fathers in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been anticipated. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a major role in parental responsibility.
The study also suggested that the greatest level of paternal parenting took place in the families of only child. As the number of children and financial obligations increased, the father’s apparent intere4st and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size or financial condition of the family is, a father’s active participation in the child’s development made a definite difference in the child’s progress.
The study further revealed that while the frequency of overnight absences reflected a corresponding deficiency of the child’s level in math and reading, a father’s employment on night shifts appeared to have little effect on the child’s academic progress. The data from the study were obtained primarily through interviews from parents, teachers and physicians. The information evaluating the level of the father’s parenting performance was elicited primarily form. the admittedly subjective observations of the tier wives.
