       Most people will tell you that they can't work without a cup of coffee in the morning. Research has shown that a cup of coffee does give a person slight excitement.
       Legend said that Kaldi, an Ethiopian, found his goats happier while enjoying coffee plants. Curiously, he tasted the leaves and began to dance around. Whether the Legend was true or not, the discovery of coffee dates back to 800A. D. Soon Arabians were roasting coffee beans. Muslims were drinking coffee to stay awake by 1000 A.D. A merchant from Venice introduced coffee to Europe in 1615. By 1696, the Dutch started growing the coffee bush in Java. By 1723, coffee plants were introduced to the Americans. Today, coffee is the most popular drink in the world.
       Caffeine is the major chemical in coffee. It blocks(阻止) adenosine, a chemical that makes you sleepy. People can get a pick-me-up or stimulation(刺激) from the drink. The stimulation does not last long. Caffeine poisoning can occur if more than 400 milligrams of caffeine is drunk in a short period, which is about four to five cups of coffee. Caffeine will also cause sleep difficulty, so it should not be drunk before bed.
       Caffeine has many advantages. Studies have shown that it helps improve some skills in elderly women. Women who drank three cups of coffee daily scored higher on memory tests than women who drank one cup of coffee. According to newser.com, one cup of coffee a day protects the brain. Coffee also can help people keep away from many diseases according to webmd.com.
      Large amounts of coffee can cause nervousness, worries and a fast heartbeat. However, if you mix coffee with milk, it's fine. Caffeine can be addictive like any drug. The more you drink, the more you depend on it. For some people, just one cup of coffee a day is OK.

When people talk about sports, many think of basketball or swimming. Did you know that arm-wrestling (扳手腕) is also a popular sport around the world? Many countries have competitions (比赛) for the sport and lots of people are good at it. One of the 1 arm-wrestlers is a 54-year-old British grandfather.

Mark Waldon's journey in arm-wrestling began three years ago. He got sick and had to stay in bed 2 a long time. That was when he started watching this sport on the Internet and became really 3 in it. When he got better, he joined a club in his town and he felt welcome there.

Mark does exercise all 4 time, so he is quite fit. But a strong body is not enough 5 in arm-wrestling. At first, Mark lost every match. However, that didn't stop 6 . He worked hard and became much better after 7 for half a year.

In September 2022, Mark flew to France for a world competition and won fourth place in his group (组). In 2023, he 8 a European competition in Finland. This time, he got first place.

 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Swifts(雨燕)live mostly in the air. These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can fly two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky, swifts use their speed and the saliva(唾液)in their mouths. 

Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That's because their wings are like boomerangs(回力镖). This shape of the wings helps them to fly fast. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down. Making fast, sharp turns helps swifts catch flying bugs to eat. 

The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can. The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva. One food ball can contain (包含)nearly 1, 000 bugs. 

Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest. Swifts' short feet are not fit for walking or standing on land for long. But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a short rest before returning to the sky.
