What Coffee Does to Your Health
Coffee can be considered one of nature’s greatest gifts. It gives mental and emotional clearness without harmful side effect, and it contains a wealth of nutrients. Yet, when most people drink coffee, they are not thinking that the drink is improving their health. In fact, some may even feel a little guilty, since some believe coffee isn’t good for them at all.
Well, there’s the truth of the matter. Coffee, like anything else, can bring about problems if too much is consumed. In the short-term, too much coffee will cause sleeping problems and high blood pressure. In the long-term, too much coffee will cause stomach problem as well as teeth staining.
As for the benefits, moderate consumption of coffee, which means 1 to 4 cups a day, provides your body with a wealth of antioxidants(抗氧化物质).These substances are responsible for eliminating free radicals(自由基). They are the chemical byproducts produced any time your body does something. A small number of them can help serve as something against negative elements, but if they aren’t kept in control, they can cause health problems. Antioxidants ensure that this doesn’t happen.
The psychological effects of caffeine cannot be ignored either. Not only does caffeine make you more alert, but it can actually affect your mood. If you were feeling depressed, a nice cup of coffee could change your perspective. The stack of work that seemed impossible before isn’t even a problem now.
In addition, caffeine helps stimulate creativity as it speeds up the body’s functioning. That’s why coffee is often associated with writers and other intellectual professions. Other drugs tend to make people dumber. Consider what happens when people get drunk off of alcohol. They won’t be functional at all. But with coffee, an individual gets a push in creative thinking while still helping their bodies.
In conclusion, don’t feel bad when you are making your morning cup of coffee. Unlike a shot of alcohol, coffee will make your feel wonderful while keeping you healthy. Just remember, you do have to consume it in moderation.

这是一篇概要写作。 【详解】写作步骤
1）细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握文章主旨。文章主要说明了如果适量饮用，咖啡对我们的健康有益。喝适量的咖啡，人们会得到许多抗氧化剂，确保自由基得到控制。此外， 咖啡中所含的咖啡因能使人更清醒，影响人的情绪，帮助激发创造力，而不损害他们的健康。2）弄清结构，归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要，不是写某一部分的概要，或者就某些问题写出要点。因此一定要弄清文章结构，归纳文章各段大意。
3）列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构，将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。 4）在写作时要特别注意下面几点：
（1）概要应包括原文中的主要事实，略去不必要的细节。
（2）安排好篇幅的比例，概要应同原文保持协调，即用较多的文字写重要内容，用较少的文字写次要内容。
（3）注意要点之间的衔接，要用适当的关联词语贯通全文，切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子，但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语，以免显得生硬。
（4）不排斥用原文的某些词句，但不要照搬原文的句子，如果不能完全用自己的话语表达，至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换，如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。 （5）计算词数，看是否符合规定的词数要求。
