only drink teas for the soothing feeling and sweet tastes they offer, studies have shown that they are capable of enhancing your mental health Studies suggest that the amino acid L-theanine found in the tea plant alters the attention networks in the brain and has demonstrable effects on brain waves, leading to a feeling of relaxation without making you feel sleepy In one study, subjects who drank tea produced more accurate results during an attention task and also felt more alert than subjects who did not Green tea, in particular, has been shown to help individuals relax and concentrate more fully on tasks The polyphenols in tea can contribute to better cognitive performance and working memory A recent study with elderly participants has shown that green tea helps slow the age-related decline in brain function such as declining memory, cognitive impairment and dementia Further early-stage research on the benefits of tea for preventing Alzheimer’s disease has led to promising results, finding that a component of green tea can disrupt the build-up of brain plaques, which can prevent blood from flowing into your brain or damage nerve cells Finally, tea has been shown to reduce the effects of a stressful event Participants in one study reported that symptoms of stress such as stiffness of the shoulders, fatigue of the eyes and headaches decreased after drinking cups of oolong tea every day for a week Black tea has also been shown to reduce stress hormone levels if consumed regularly (Adapted from ontario.cmha.ca) Question 34: What is the passage mainly about?

Still, she yearns for her grandchildren to improve their circumstances some day “I want them to have a good life far from our lives here I tell them to study hard and some day not eat pagpag.” (Adapted from scmp.com) Question 39: Which best serves as the title for this passage?
