听一分钟英文：Coffee-咖啡

Scientists and doctors can’t make their minds up about coffee. One study says it’s really bad for us and the next report says it’s good for us. I’ve even read that 10 cups a day is good for our brain¹. I like a cup of coffee at certain times of the day. I must have a coffee first thing in the morning. I can’t survive² without my morning coffee. I have another cup or two when I get to work. And that’s it. I never drink coffee after lunchtime. If I do, I can’t sleep at night. The only time I drink coffee in the evening is if I go to a nice restaurant. Coffee seems a lot more complicated³ these days. When I was younger it was just coffee. Now it’s latte, frappucino and all kinds of other strange words.
