Question

帮忙做一下阅读题啊，最后翻译一下啦。谢谢！

Much of the world's coffee is grown in Brazil. Not long ago an unseasonal
frost swept through coffee plantations there. The result affected people in
many countries for a long time to come.
At first, reports of extensive damage were received. These led to a sharp
rise in the price of coffee, which had hitherto not been a highly profitable
crop. Growers in other countries made extra efforts to increase their
exports to profit from the expected shortage. However, they are hampered by
smugglers who wished to avoid government controls. The price of coffee fell
slightly.
Then large restaurant and hotel chains began to buy coffee to build up
stocks for future use. The price rose dramatically, and public resistance
developed. Housewives organized a boycott of coffee. This led to a rise in
the price of tea and a fall in the price of coffee. Much to the dismay of
growers, the price fell sharply. Their response was rather surprising.
Instead of selling their stocks of coffee, they began to buy on the open
market. Their motive was clear. They wanted to force the price of coffee up,
and one way of doing this was to reduce the amount of coffee available for
sale to the pubic.
Luckily for coffee-drinkers, this move failed. Restaurants and hotels
stopped buying coffee. Large numbers of small growers had to sell their
crops to keep alive. The large growers found that they were buying more
coffee than they were growing. They abandoned their efforts and let the
normal law of supply and demand decide the price. Meanwhile, millions of
people had changed to cheaper drinks and declined to switch back to coffee.
