27、 in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantziss Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated.

34、rs say drinking tea may help strengthen the bodys defense system against infection(传染病). Doctors at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, did the study. The team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. This chemical is an amino acid(氨基酸) called L-theanine. The
35、 scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta T cells. Thats the letter T, not the drink. Gamma delta T cells are part of the bodys defense.First, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens(抗原) found in the amino acid. Antigens help the body react to infection. Then the sc
36、ientists added some bacteria. Within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon(干扰素), a substance that fights infection. Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon(干扰素).In the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. Ten
37、other people drank the same amount of instant coffee.

39、study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated by more people. “If the findings prove to be true,” he say

41、cells C. interferon D. bacteria34.
