Situations like this often come up． And it is not easy to make your own（3） when your friends want to do something you're not quite sure about． Sometimes， you feel you should do something because everyone else is doing it， and it is（4） to go against the majority． This is called "peer（同龄人） pressure" because peers are pressuring you to do what they want．

The home of tea is in China． It is said that tea was found by Shennong， a legendary（传说中的）ruler of ancient China about 5000 years ago． Some people say that tea is the national drink of China． There are mainly six kinds of tea in China， such as black tea， green tea， white tea， etc．
Many Chinese drink it almost every day．
Tea helps keep your mind clear． It's calorie ﹣ free and good for your heart． Also， tea can protect against cancer． So it becomes the most widely consumed（广泛饮用的） drink in the world next to water． To celebrate this popular drink， the United Nations has made May 21 stInternational Tea Day recently．
However， people in different countries have different ways to drink tea，In the US， sweet tea is popular． It is made with black tea， sugar and fruit． Unlike Chinese tea， sweet tea in the US is always served ice cold． Many years ago， only rich people drank it．
Black tea and sugar used to cost a lot of money． But now， anyone can drink it．
