You may know that more people drink coffee than tea around the world. And that, after oil, it is the second biggest traded commodity（商品）. You may also know that the drink comes from beans which are first roasted and then ground. But what else do you know about this popular drink?

It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi. One day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving very strangely. Instead of grazing（吃草） quietly, they were jumping around, almost dancing. He also noticed some red “cherries” from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of extreme happiness and excitement. He felt like dancing too!

But it wasn’t used as a drink at first - it was used as food. The coffee berries, mixed with animal fat, were used by monks to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Ethiopia, coffee was later cultivated in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000. Three centuries later Muslims were keen coffee drinkers and as Islam spread, so did coffee. Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.

For hundreds of years the plants were protected safely. But some beans were smuggled（偷運）out of Arabia and taken to India. In the 17th century, coffee was soon grown in a new continent. From India to Indonesia, a century later the beans were once again smuggled to Brazil. Brazil is now the largest coffee producer in the world.

It was the caffeine（咖啡因）that made the goats dance and kept the monks awake. Although it is found in other soft drinks and tea, coffee has the most caffeine. In the short term, a couple of cups of coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep. But several cups a day, every day, can cause anxiety and restlessness.

1.What is the world’s biggest traded commodity?

A. Oil   B. Coffee   C. Tea

2.Why did the goatherd want to dance?

A. Because he liked to dance with his goats.

B. Because he found his goats behaving strangely.

C. Because he ate some red “cherries” from a plant.

3. Which of the following events came first?

A. Coffee houses appeared in Mecca.

B. Coffee became a drink.

C. Coffee spread as Islam spread.

4. Which sentence is true?

A. Monks were the first to drink coffee.

B. Too much coffee can make people anxious.

C. Brazilians liked drinking coffee the most.

5. Around the world more people drink coffee than tea because _____.

A. coffee berries can be eaten

B. coffee has the most caffeine

C. coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep

       You should be careful in the giving of gifts. Never give a gift in a job
interview or go to a business meeting. Gifts are usually given during special
holidays or as "thank you" for special invitations.
       At the time of arriving, you may give your gift to the host (主人) once
the introductions are made. With gift giving a few rules are in order: Be
modest  (適度的 ) with  your  gift, do  not  buy  expensive gifts.
      Special food from your country or a bottle of wine are best if you do
not know the host very well,but be certain that your gift will not require
attention. You can usually say something like "I thought you would like
this a little later" when you offer your gift.
     Be careful of giving wine , a bottle of wine is usually all right if you
know your host drinks wine. Flowers are good but remember: roses are
for personal relationships. Do not give roses. Cut flowers are nice if they
are in a vase(花瓶) . A small cultural gift from your'country is usually
very suitable.

    You, of course, know that you will never add vcry rapidly to your vocabulary by merely coming  across
 words, or by reading or by  talking. You must have a plan.
    Here is one way to get ahead with words in everyday  life.  It's the simplest thing in the world.
    Buy a small pocket notebook. When you read a newspaper, a magazine, or a book, or listen to TV or
 radio, and come upon a strange word, enter it in your notebook. Then look it up in the dictionary. If you
find that it's a word too difficult to understand or a highly technical mterm, just pass it by.  But if it sounds
like a word that will be helpful to you. take possession of it, make it your own personal possession.  Say
it aloud many times. Study its exact meaning, and note its root. Be sure, also, to copy from the dictionary
the example sentence in which it is used, if such is given.  Then write your own sentence in line with the
example in the dictionary. 

    All this will take only a few minutes or so, but it is necessary to make the practice a daily habit. Then
the list in your notebook will grow gradually, as will your command of English.
