Dear Sir or Madam，
Last Thursday， I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us， but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay (误点) . We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. As a result， I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more， the service on the train was also very poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily， we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all， something was wrong with the air conditioning (空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we reached King’s Cross， the temperature was over 40°C.
Because of your poor service， I feel you should pay me compensation (赔偿).
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
David Roberson

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(举止) 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 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(和尚) to stay awake during long hours of prayer(祷告). From Ethiopia， coffee was later cultivated(培育) in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000. Three centuries later，Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.
For many many 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(咖啡因) 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(短期)， a couple of cups of coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep. But several cups a day， every day， can cause anxiety(焦虑) and restlessness(坐立不安).
The 1.__________ of coffee | |
Discovery | Kaldi found that his goats had 2.__________ behaviors(举止) after eating some red cherries. Kaldi himself tried some， and he became very happy and excited. |
At first | Coffee was used as food instead of a 3.________. |
In AD 1000 | Coffee was cultivated in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed. |
In AD 1300 | Coffee 4._________ appeared in Cairo and Mecca. |
In the 17th century | Coffee was soon grown in a new continent， from India to Indonesia. |
Now | Coffee has become a 5._________ drink， but too much coffee may cause anxiety and restlessness. |
