回答题:
New Foods and the New World
In the last 500 years, nothing about people--not their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500&39;s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. 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 starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845--1846, and thou-sands more Were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other that that have traveled from South America to the Old World.. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world&39;s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400&39;s.
According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world&39;s population now starts the day with.
According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years? 查看材料
A.Food
B.Chocolate
C.Potato
D.Coffee

I hoped people would think that I was having great thoughts and that someone might come up to me and say "Excuse me, I hope you won't mind my coming up to you like this. I don't want to interrupt your thoughts. But really, you are the only interesting-looking person in the room. May I talk to you? It never happened. Here is some ad vice if you would like to be a good conversationalist. Be an attentive listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other people will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and what they have done. Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their problems than they are in you and your problems. A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in Africa which kills a million people. A pain in one's arm interests one more than forty earthquakes in America. Think of that the next time you start a conversation. Diogenes, the Greek philosopher who is sup posed to have lived in a barrel, said, "The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is so that we may listen more and talk less."
