Is it any wonder that tea has been enjoyed for nearly 5,000 years—and that it’s the world’s most widely consumed beverage, next to water? Yet green tea is a lot more than just a delicious and satisfying drink—it also has medicinal properties that are nothing short of amazing. Way back in the year 1211 the Japanese monk Eisai wrote that “Tea is a miraculous（奇迹的）medicine for the maintenance of health. ;Tea has an extraordinary power to prolong life.” And today, scientific researches are confirming that what Eisai said may be true, finding that green tea can improve the immune（免疫的） system, inhibit the cancer process at virtually（实质上）every stage, regulate cholesterol（胆固醇）levels, assist in weight loss, fight free radical（自由基）damage, and ward off viruses, fungi （真菌类）and food-borne bacteria（细菌）. It also helps lower the risk of type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）, slow cognitive decline, and may even help increase the lifespan. Virtually no other substance on earth can claim such a wide range of health benefits! ?? ;Part II New Words;benefit /?ben?f?t/ n. advantage, improvement or help that you get from sth. 好处；利益；优势 depression /d??pre??n/ n. 抑郁，沮丧 effective /??fekt?v/ adj. producing a decided, decisive or desired effect 有效的，有力的 element /?el?m?nt/ n. 元素；组成部分 evidence /?ev?d?ns/ n. facts or signs that show clearly that sth. exists or is true 证据，根据；迹象;excess /?k?ses/ adj. 过量的，额外的 extract /?ekstr?kt/ n. 提取物；精华 ferment /f??ment/ vt. 发酵 fuel /fju??l/ n. 燃料；营养物 herbal /?h??b?l/ adj. 草本的，草药的 medicinal /me?d?s?n?l/ adj. 医学的，药的 metabolic /?met??b?l?k/ adj. concerning metabolism 新陈代谢的;metabolism /m??t?b?l?z?m/
