Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both
popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually. Although much
of this tea is consumed in Asian, European and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share.
According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the
U.S. population on any given day. Black tea or green tea – iced, spiced, or instant – tea drinking has
spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout Asia.
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in

by Huong Ly, High School for Gifted Students, HNUE Page 3

Worksheet No. 19

tropical regions. On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new
buds called flush appear, they are plucked off by hand. Even in today's world of modern agricultural
machinery, hand harvesting continues to be the preferred method. Ideally, only the top two leaves and a
bud should be picked. This new growth produces the highest quality tea.
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to 20
hours. During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp. Next, depending on the type of tea being
produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled
conditions of heat and humidity. For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green
color, and the fermentation process is skipped. Producing black teas requires fermentation during which
the tea leaves begin to darken. After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or
black color.
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was
discovered in 2737B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his
drinking water as it was boiling over a fire. As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting
liquid and proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing. Though this account cannot be
documented, it is thought that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia,
then to Europe, and ultimately to America colonies around 1650.
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not
necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake. Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and
therefore easier on the stomach. Others have become interested in tea drinking since the National Cancer
Institute published its findings on the antioxidant properties of tea. But whether tea is enjoyed for its
perceived health benefits, its flavor, or as a social drink, teacups continue to be filled daily with the world's
most popular beverage.

XVI. Read the passage and choose the best answers for the questions about it.
Line Niagara Falls, one of the most famous North American natural wonders, has long been a
popular tourist destination. Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute Niagara
Falls: the 173-foot-high Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River in the
Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot-high American Falls on the U.S. side of the river in
5 the state of New York. Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over the falls actually goes
over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American Falls.
Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take a
steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close-up view. It is also
possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the Niagara River,
10 such as Prospect Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation towers which have
heights up to 500 feet.
Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numbers since the 1800s; annual
visitation now averages above 10 million visitors per year. Because of concern that all these
tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the state of New
15 York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land surrounding American Falls.
A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side of the Niagara, around
Horseshoe Falls. With the area surrounding the falls under the jurisdiction of government
agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve the pristine beauty of the area.
