Read the article about the history of coffee drinking and circle the correct answer, a, b or c.
Time for coffee
The story of coffee drinking is one of the greatest and most fascinating in history. Millions of coffee drinkers worldwide cannot imagine life without a cup of aromatic coffee in the morning. Coffee is a natural stimulant which makes us feel more awake, alert and ready to concentrate.
The qualities of mocca, as coffee was once known, were first discovered in Ethiopia more than one thousand years ago. However, it was not Africans but Turks and Arabs who actively encouraged coffee drinking. The habit of coffee drinking quickly spread throughout the Arab world, where coffee won a reputation as the wine of Islam.
Coffee was first grown in Yemen. It was popular with Turks who served the drink to visiting Italian merchants. In 1615 traders from Venice brought coffee to Europe, where it was originally sold as a medicine. By the end of the sixteenth century coffee was drunk in major European cities from Paris to London. Now, around the world there are different methods of preparing coffee, for example, in Turkey coffee is traditionally boiled three times while Italians are the inventors of espresso and cappuccino.
We drink coffee because of its aroma, taste and stimulating effect. However, extensive consumption of coffee may be harmful to our health, for instance, it may increase one’s blood pressure or make one’s heart beat irregularly. Fortunately, new brands of coffee have been appearing on the market recently. As they do not contain substances harmful to health, many people will not have to give up their coffee-drinking habits.

Task 2
Decide which film (letters A-F) would be the most suitable for each person or people (numbers 8-12). One description of the film is an extra one.
7. Jo is studying art at the university. She usually goes to the cinema on Friday evenings. She enjoys films that are based on real life and from which she can learn something.
8. Sheila has decided to take her mother to the cinema for her birthday. They both like love stories that have happy endings.
9. Brian is a hard-working medical student. He doesn’t have very much free time, but he likes going to the cinema to relax, and enjoys a good laugh.
10. Adam wants to take his 8-year-old son Mark to the cinema at the weekend. They want to see a film with plenty of excitement.
11. Harry and Joyce go to the cinema about twice a month. They particularly like detective stories and do not pay much attention to which actors are in the film.
A The Delivery
Jim Treace stars in this well-known comedy about two workmen who have to deliver a long piece of wood to a house. But unfortunately the performances are poor, and the film is too long for such a simple joke.
B The Ends of the Earth
A story is based on a real-life journey to the South Pole. This film contains some quite wonderful wildlife photography – make sure you see it while you have the chance, or you’ll be sorry.
C A private Party
A wonderfully funny comedy, which takes place in the 1940s. A reporter and his wife try to save a sheep from the local butcher. The actors really make the most of this clever script.
D And Tomorrow We find You
A fast-moving adult story about a San Francisco policeman in danger. Based on a real-life happening, it keeps you guessing right until the last minute. Although there are no big stars, there are some fine performances.
E Island of Fire
You get spectacular scenery and lots of thrills in this action-packed story, in which a young sea-captain rescues terrified villagers from a volcanic island in the South Seas.
F A Time of Silence
Don’t forget your handkerchief for this story of a young college boy and girl who manage to survive all the pressures of modern life. And what an unforgettable wedding scene!
