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 (偷運(yùn)) 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(chǎn) couple of cups of coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep．But several cups a day, every day, can cause anxiety and restlessness．

They confirmed that food smells were the ones most likely to affect ageing, as nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) and lifespan are known to be connected in many living things．To test the idea that food smells affect lifespan, they removed flies' ability to smell carbon dioxide, which is produced by some fly foods．They left the rest of the smelling system．

This action had no effect on male flies, but the females lived 30 percent longer than normal．Removing the ability to smell CO2 may stop flies getting information about food availability．This could mean that food is not enough, causing processes that encourage

flies to survive．Scientists found that the female flies from stored extra fat and that both males and females immune (免疫) to CO2 were stronger against the stress than normal flies．It is suggested that females may simply be easily influenced by the smells of CO2．

Scientists point out that people don't know whether ageing and smell are connected in animals and humans．But they clearly experience physical changes after smelling food．

They were nicely written, except that "friend" was written "friend"．Snowball read them out, and all the animals agreed．

"Now, let's go to the field．Let's get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do．"

But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time, shouted because they hadn't been milked for 24 hours．Then the pigs began to help milk the cows successfully．Soon there were five buckets (桶) of creamy milk at which many animals

looked with great interest．"What's going to happen to all the milk?" asked one animal．"Jones used to mix some of it in our food," said one of the hens．"Never mind the milk," cried Napoleon, standing in front of the buckets, "the harvest is more important．Mr Snowball will lead the way, and I'll follow in a few minutes．"
