8.根據短文內容,從下框的A-F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項.選項中有一項為多余選項.
A.The spreading tea
B.The history of tea growing
C.Changes of tastes for drinks
D.Reducing cancer risks
E.The plant Camellia sinensis
F.A woman's opinion of tea
61.C
Americans are far more knowledgeable about drinks than they were 20years 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.
62.A
Tea is available in more places than ever.The Tea Associa-tion of the United States reports that from 1990to 1999,annual sales of the drink grew to 4.6billionfrom 1.8billion."Green tea is seen by consumers as a'functional food'"-delivering health benefits beyond food itself,says Vierhile.
63.E
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 1998study,Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44percent compared with non-tea drinkers,and other studies have suggested that the antioxidants(抗氧化劑)in these so-called real teas can also prevent cancer.
64.D
One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC,a compound 20times as powerful as vitamin E and 200times 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.
65.F
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 cof-fee 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.

A mathematics teacher asks her students to design a floor plan for a community center,including dance areas and a place for a band.Why?Because such a design will involve several geometric(幾何的)shapes and a/an(41)D area,and the students must use what they have studied about the computation of area to make an effective plan.
A history teacher asks his students to(42)G on and write about their experiences holding   jobs and their relationships with their employers.Why?Because the students will soon be studying the Industrial Revolution,focusing on how it shaped the experiences of and relationships among members of(43)J social classes in the United States.
A science teacher asks her students to prepare statements (44)F their position on whether the president should sign an international environmental treaty.Why?Because preparing these statements will engage the students in assessing and(45)B a number of scientific views on global warming.
Anyone alert to current(46)I in teaching practice will not be surprised by these examples.They illustrate the practice on the part of many teachers to engage students more (47)H in the subject matter they are learning by helping students to draw(48)C between their lives and the subject matter,between principles and practice,past and present,and present and future.
Yet there is also something unusual about these(49)E:not what appears on the surface but what lies underneath it.These three learning activities were developed with the help of a simple set of guidelines called the Teaching for Understanding Framework.
