英语 必修·第二册 作业与测评 Period 2　Understanding ideas 课时作业(二) Ⅰ　阅读 The goji berry, which has been part of Chinese culture, is now being viewed as one of the hottest superfoods available today. This small berry is thought to have anti­ageing powers and has achieved newfound global standing as a superfood. The Chinese call it the goji berry or wolfberry. The goji berry, which is packed with Vitamin C, is viewed as a fruit. China's love of the goji berry dates back hundreds of years. At home, Chinese men and women will put dried goji berries over homemade chicken to give themselves a vitamin increase. The goji berry is also viewed as a herb. It is believed by doctors to improve liver and kidney (肝脏和肾脏) function. However, there are certain times when doctors will not advise its use as it may exacerbate a patient's condition. “If a person has a fever or sore throat, I would suggest patients stop taking goji berries during that period of time，” a Chinese doctor said.

Their parents recognize these as traditional soup kettles that have been repackaged by brands such as Buydeem and turned into a more Instagram­worthy shade of pink. A study on Gen Z in China showed that this generation sees living a healthy life as a key priority, even over money and personal enjoyment. The berry has also become popular with international consumers. Attracted by the superfood, whose popularity comes on the back of the global awareness of its medical value, people in the West are paying up to $10 for a package of the berries, around three times the price in China. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的枸杞日益受到国内外人们的欢迎，并分析了其受欢迎的原因。 1．What's the function of goji berry?
