Coffee is a powerful beverage.On a personal level,it helps keep US awake and active.On a much broader level,it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.
Coffee didn’t take off until the l400s when people figured out they could roast its seeds.By the l500s,the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world.Within another l50 years,it took Europe by storm.
“It actually had a major impact on the rise of business,” historian Mark Pendergrast says.Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.The insurer Lloyd’s of London was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000 coffeehouses.Literature,newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also spawned(涌現(xiàn))in coffeehouses.
It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of l773,when American colonists attacked British tea ships and threw boxes of tea into the harbor,Americans universally switched over to drinking coffee.In a letter John Adams wrote to his wife,Abigail,the Founding Father claims his love of tea but says he will have to learn to embrace coffee instead,because drinking tea had become a symbol of not loving the country.
For all the upsides coffee has brought the modern world,it also led to its fair share of downsides,too.Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world,and this frequently meant they enslaved people in order to grow it.In Brazil — where slavery was legal until l888 — coffee plantations would use slash-and-burn agriculture,tearing down rain forests and planting coffee trees.Once the soil had been exhausted,growers would move on to another place.
And yet,coffee,as Pendergrast says,”had a very good impact in many ways on our civilization,even though it was,for a long time,grown by slaves.”
1.Why did people enjoy going to coffeehouses?
A.Because it was a fashion to drink coffee.
B.Because coffeehouses provided a better flavor.
C.Because they could stay awake and active there.
D.Because they could exchange ideas there.
2.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A.American colonists made great profits by trading in coffee.
B.Tea was regarded as a symbol of loving one’s country.
C.Coffee became very popular after the incident in Boston.
D.John Adams was the Founding Father of the Tea Party.
3.In the fifth paragraph.the writer points out that __________ .
A.Coffee plantation was closely connected with slavery
B.coffee plantation led to outdated agriculture in Brazil
C.slavery in Brazil had been against the law until l888
D.slavery was responsible for the damage to rainforests
4.What is mainly talked about in this passage?
A.Some interesting stories about coffee culture.
B.Important Roles that coffee played in history.
C.How coffee became the most popular beverage.

Being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It's not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it's more importantly about being honest with yourself.
Living your life honestly means that you've decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in 'dark corners'. When you're dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually.
Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome life's problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals.
You'll have no doubt you have heard expressions such as "what goes around, comes around" and "you get back, what you give out in life" and that's very true. If you don't live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people you'll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and it's therefore unavoidable that one day you'11 be on the receiving end of someone's dishonest actions or words.
There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he can't go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isn't going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, it's often better to be economical with the truth. You might say that you don't know why John can't go or that you think he has something on that weekend." Of course, this isn't telling the complete truth but you are sparing Paul's feelings on something that won't, after all, have strong influence on Paul's future.
1.If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to______.
A. follow your destination
B. be true to yourself
C. plan your personal development
D. accept honest people as ends
2.The passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_____.
A. suffer from dishonesty
B. become very attractive
C. influence honest people
D. have attractive friends
3.The example in the last paragraph is used to prove that______.
A. we should always tell the truth
B. John is not a trustworthy person
C. telling lies causes pain on someone else
D. sometimes we can't be completely honest
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We should be economical with the truth.
B. People can gain from dishonesty.
C. Honesty helps you develop.
D. Trust produces confidence.
