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 (研磨).But what else do you know about this popular drink?
It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd (牧羊人) 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 (培育) 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 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.

Learning a language can be useful in today's global society. Do you find it difficult to learn a foreign language successfully? Here are some tips to help you out:
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
By far the most important is how much time you are immersed in the language. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking and studying the language. This does not mean sitting in class looking out of the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Build up your vocabulary! You'll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will be able to use them.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading, you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.

If you do want to learn the language, try to be an active learner. Choose something that you want to listen to and read. Find out the words and phrases that you need to understand in your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. So sit back and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language.
