Question

5．Tea，the second most popular drink throughout the world and the national drink of China，is now receiving ever-growing threats from canned beverage，bottled water and instant powdered coffee or other sorts of soft drinks．Due to high-pressure competition and heavy load of work，people nowadays tend to favor drinks which are more easily processed and readily available．However，from my perspective，I believe that tea will maintain its popularity over other modern drinks．
Admittedly，beverages like cocktail or lemonade invitingly satisfy our taste buds with their exotic flavors； carbonated drinks like Cola or Sprite instantly cool us down especially when served with ice； coffee drinks like mocha or latte smoothly keep us refreshed and help us unwind．However，the tempting and lasting flavors of those drinks may be produced with many additives and preservatives．
Tea，with more choices of different tastes or kinds，offers us joy and relaxation and of course is richer in culture and healthier．Black tea or oolong tea，jasmine tea or chrysanthemum tea，whichever can find one who enjoys it and appreciates the culture involved．
It's wonderful to have a cup of my favorite tea served in exquisite tea cups on a sunny afternoon while reading through novels or just day dreaming．The warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance （香味） of herbs and flowers often quickly relieves the pressure and calms me down．
The concept of tea drinking is strongly rooted in us Chinese as an integral part of daily routine，especially for the elder generations．Every time we step into a Chinese restaurant，a teapot is a must on the table and we will be graciously received with the greetings like："Which kind of tea would you prefer？"
Tea is a healthy choice．It has unique medical and nutritional values，either relieving people's physical pain and mental stress or assisting clinical treatment of certain types of diseases or even cancer．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

81．Why do people prefer to drink other sorts of soft drinks rather than Chinese tea？Because high-pressure competition/heavy load of work makes people like easily processed drinks．/readily available drinks．
82．A lot of drinks such as Coffee，Cola，Sprite often attract us fortheir tempting and lasting flavors and keep us refreshed．/help us unwind．
83．The author has his own way to relieve his pressure，drinking the warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance．．
84．What effective function does tea possess？It possesses unique medical and nutritional values．．
