     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(偷运)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.

A. Coffee houses appeared in Mecca.
B. Coffee became a drink.
C. Coffee spread as Islam spread.

A. Monks were the first to drink coffee.

     In 1608 an Englishman named Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and wrote down
every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found the most interesting. In his diary
Thomas wrote, "When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They do not eat with their hands,
because people do not always have clean hands."
     Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.
     At home Thomas had a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the steak (牛排) was

take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people
because the fork was not easy to use at all.

meat with one's fingers because they were not always clean.

And weren't the ten fingers we had enough for us?
     Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he

     We may know that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new
culture. This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock(文化冲击), is the way our head and our personality
react to(对…做出反应) the strange new things we meet with when we move from one culture to another.
     Culture begins with the "honeymoon stage". This is the time when we first arrive in which everything about the
new culture is strange and exciting. We see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This
stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are very excited.
     Unluckily, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have got used to our new life, we can become very
tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much
bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This time of cultural adjustment(调整) can be
very difficult and lead to pulling away from the new culture.
     The third stage is called the "adjustment stage". This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in
the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger
by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
     The fourth stage can be called "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal
with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong
enough to deal with them.
     There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know about. This is called "reverse culture shock".
Surprisingly, this happens when you go back to your own culture and find that you have changed and that things
there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!
1. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?
A. Lonely and sad.
B. Bored and homesick.
C. Angry and impatient.
D. Happy and excited.
2. How could the third stage be described?
A. Adjustment.
B. Pulling away.
C. Shock.
D. Anger.
3. The underlined phrase "at ease" in the fifth paragraph may probably mean ________.
A. good
B. relaxed
C. bad
D. nervous
4. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Human beings would pass through four stages when they begin to live in a new culture.
B. Entering and living in a new culture is challenging(挑战).
C. It is much fun to live in a new culture.
D. Life in a new culture is a struggle.
