Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called “energy drinks.” These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers a boost in power. One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a professional supplement for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain nutrients to their beverages. The added chemicals are like those that the body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, minerals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to energize a person. Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another problem is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the materials in energy drinks work together. Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, warns people about believing all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is possible if you put these twelve things together, you will get a good result.” However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body. “We just don’t know at this point,” he says.

21. In the first paragraph, what does “pick them up” mean? (A) Choose them to do something. (B) Give them a ride to some place. (C) Find trouble with them in particular. (D) Help them feel more awake.

22. What is the main purpose of Red Bull according to the article? (A) To replace coffee and tea in the morning. (B) To refresh the body and mind of tired people. (C) To help athletes improve their performance. (D) To reduce the amount of sugar people drink.

23. What are the added chemicals in energy drinks said to be similar to? (A) Substances the body makes to boost power. (B) Materials found in organic vegetables. (C) Medicines prescribed by doctors. (D) Ingredients used in soft drinks.

24. Why are energy drinks difficult for scientists to study? (A) They are produced by big companies. (B) They change content every year. (C) They contain many ingredients. (D) They would hurt the lab equipment.
