The originalchocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree（ 可可树 ）bySouth American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the worldduring the 1500’s. Andalthough it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops wherechocolate 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 thatthousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “PotatoFamine( 饥荒 )”of 1845—1846, and thousands more wereforced to leave their homeland and move to America. There are many other foods that havetraveled from South America to the Old World.But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazilis now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop inColombiaand other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa.It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s. According to an Arabic legend, coffeewas discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attractedto the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the“wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts theday with.

Soccer is played bymillions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players whowere truly great. How did these players get that way—was it through trainingand practice, or are great players’ born, not made? First, these players camefrom places that have had famous stars in the past---players that a young boycan look up to and try to imitate（效仿）. Inthe history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup—threefrom South America and three from Western Europe.There has never been a great national team—or a really great player—from NorthAmerica or from Asia. Second, these playershave all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of asoccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age ofthree or four. Finally, many great players come fromthe same kind of neighbourhood—a poor, crowded area where a boy’s dream is notto be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete orentertainer. For example, Liverpool which produced the Beatles( 甲壳虫乐队 )，had one of the best English soccer teams inrecent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball” made of rags(破布). And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncingthe ball off a wall in the slums( 贫民窟 )ofBelfast. All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn’t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in thoseBrazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born withsome unique quality that sets them apart from all the others. (306) 6 According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
