阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

　　     In the last 500 years, nothing about people--not their clothes,　　 ideas, or languages--has changed as much as what they eat. The　　 original(最初) chocolate drink was made from the seeds of a certain　　 kind of tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to　　 the rest of the World during the 1500's, and although it was very　　 expensive, it quickly became popular. In London,shops where chocolate　　 drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist　　 today.

　　     The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish　　 brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland　　 became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people died from　　 hunger when the crop failed during the"Potato Famine"of 1845-1846.

　　     There are many other foods that have traveled from South America　　 to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction.Brazil　　 (巴西)is now the world's largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an　　 important crop in many other countries of South America. But it is native　　 to Ethiopia(埃塞俄比亚), It was first made into a drink by Arabs　　 during the 1400's.
