So now you may be asking what is the difference between green tea and the black tea you are used to drinking. Both teas come from the same plant; the difference is the way the different teas are processed. The green tea is not fermented (发酵) before it has been dried. Because of the shorter processing time the green tea has a lighter flavor than the black tea. Green tea is good for you because the processing keeps all the beneficial elements left in the tea.
Green tea doesn't taste anything like the tea you usually drink. Most green tea drinkers do not add milk or sugar, but you can ff you like. Green tea has been described as having a light, fresh, green flavor. Some of the various green teas have just a little sweetness taste to them. Others are a little more astringent(涩味的). There are several different varieties of green tea each with its own flavor; however they all seem to have one flavor quality in common.
To try really good green tea you will want to look in a gourmet(美食家) tea store rather than a grocery store. The grocery store doesn't have the selection you will find in a gourmet tea store. You will find a good selection of green teas in your local Asian food store. Some of the types you will want to look for are: Sencha, Gunpowder, or Dragon Well.
Green tea is brewed just like yon would brew the tea you normally drink, except you will not want the water to boil. You will want to brew you tea when the water is on the verge of boiling. Green tea is a more delicate tea so you want to the water to be a little cooler.
Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression.
To date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee : there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six-eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee.

A.is too hard to be produced
B.doesn't need to be dried
C.is much heavy in weight
D.is much natural and beneficial
M: Thank you.
W: Well, artifacts made of bamboo are very important in Japanese culture.
M: Yes. For hundreds and even thousands of years, the bamboo plant has played an important role in the lives of the Japanese, and at one time, it was believed that the Shinto gods could be found in the stem of the bamboo plant, and this is something that is portrayed in one of Japan's oldest tales, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
W: That sounds interesting. Bamboo is a very versatile plant. It's light and flexible, but strong, and there are many varieties of it. They can be used to make various artifacts.
M: Yeah, and some of them are really exquisite.
W: Very happily, Mr. Smith has brought here several bamboo artifacts. So can you introduce them to us, Mr. Smith?
M: Sure. The first one is a chashaku. It is a ten spoon, and it is used for measuring powdered green tea during the tea ceremony.
W: That's fine. What about this?
M: Uh, it is a tea whisk. It is for mixing the powdered green tea in a small bowl until it becomes a foamy mixture.
W: Wow, it is so nice and I love it. Thank you for showing us these fine artifacts, Mr. Smith.

Washington: US President George W. Bush unveiled the campaign of scientific research and education as a way to ensure American competitiveness in his State of the Union Address, vowing to "double the federal commitment to the most critical basic research programs in the physical sciences over the next 10 years." The push for more funding comes after years of strong criticism of his administration's approach to scientific research. The basic complaint is that the Bush White House puts political ideology over science when writing policy or when determining who sits on advisory panels set up to provide expert input into decision making.
Tokyo: A new study finds that green tea significantly reduces the risk of death from many causes, including heart disease. The study did not find, however, that green tea has any effect on cancer, as has been previously claimed. The study took place in northeastern Japan, where 80 percent of the population drinks green tea regularly. Researchers looked at more than 40,000 adults and compared those who drank less than one cup of tea a day to those who drank three to five cups a day. They found that over the span of 11 years, those who drank more tea were less likely to die of heart disease.
Detroit: General Motors has ended its discussions about a three-way alliance with Nissan and Renault. The car companies announced their decision to terminate talks yesterday. It happened even before the 90-day deadline that the sides had set to study the proposed tie-up. The CEO of General Motors said that their analysis showed benefits of the alliance heavily skewed toward Renault and Nissan, which was unfair to the shareholders of General Motors. GM's largest individual shareholder, Kirk Corrine, who pushed for the discussions and owns nearly 10% stake in GM, expressed disappointment that the talks had broken off.
New Delhi: India and Germany have agreed to deepen their cooperation on energy policy but sidestepped a dispute over a nuclear deal between New Delhi and Washington that Berlin has criticized. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met with Chancellor Angela Merkel in a northern city ahead of the opening of the Hanover Technology Fair, where guest country India and Germany, the world's number three economy, hope to boost their rapidly growing trade ties. As a rising economy in Asia, India is in great need of foreign cooperation and investment, especially in technology-intensive fields like energy.
