For millions of us, coffee is a big part of our lifestyle.
Early birds crave it. People who work long hours need
1
it. And those with active lifestyles drink it to give
them energy. But how much do we know about it?
€" Coffee was discovered in Ethiopia in the ninth century AD, The
fr
story qoes like this: a qoat-herder named Khalid noticed that
his goits became energetic when they ate the mysterious
beans on the mountains, He took some of the beans to the
3
village and had them turned into a drink,
*p lt wasn't until coffee arrived in Mocha, Yemen, that the drink's
popularity began to spread, From Mocha (the drink was named
after the place), coffee beans were exported to India, Java, and
eventually to Europe,
An alternative story says that coffee was prohibited from
leaving Yemen, but a seventeenth-century traveller named
Baba Budan smuggled seven coffee beans to India, where
he had them planted and harvested by local people, lt's said
now that all of the world's coffee orioinates from those seven
Deans,
g$ The word coffee comes from the Arabic qahwat al-bun (wine
- of the bean), lt was shortened to qahwa, which became the
Turkish kahve, which became coffee,
*Q The world's first coffee house opened in Constantinople, now
called lstanbul, in 1475,
6$,
There are two types of coffee: arabica and robusta, Arabica is
smoother, more popular and is used in more speciality coffees,
Robusta is cheaper and contains more caffeine, lt also grows in
tougher conditions,
p The world's two oldest recorded cats drank coffee every day,
' The oldest cat ever, Creme Puff, lived to thirty-eight, Her
owner, Jake Perry, fed her coffee, bacon, eggs and broccoli
every day, Perry was also the owner of the previous record
holder, Grandpa Rex Allen, who had the same diet and lived to
thirty-four,
Coffee is the world's second most popular drink, after tea,
500 billion cups are drunk everyyear, lt's also the second most
commonly traded commodity, after oil, The biggest coffee
drinkers are Scandinavians, 0n average, people from Finland,
Norway and Sweden drink two cups per person per day,
In the seventeenth century, a French doctor suggested that
his patients mix milk into their coffee, Coffee had never
before been drunkwith milk, and this is the origin of caf6 au
lait, In recent times, coffee has been shown to have various
health benefits: it can act as an anti-depressant, help burn
fat and may protect people from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and
dementia,
Brazil, which is responsible for a third of the world's coffee, is
the leading coffee producer, followed by Vietnam, Colombia
and Indonesia,

fact that we have so much to

As society gets busier and busier, we find that even when we're alone, we are l3^s:a-i j'
stimulated by smadphones and trying to keep up with social media. Have r,ve:o'gc-:- .-:
importance of being bored? We think of boredom as something negative, to be a',': :::.
but boredom might actually be good for us. Here are some reasons why.

Creativity: Boredom leads to creativity, You
get ideas from being bored, lt's only when you're
bored that your mind has the time and the space
to develon its own creative stimulation,
Problem-solving: 0ur subconscious
mind is usually better at solving problems than
our conscious mind. This is because it is less
regulated by rules and protocol. But you tend to
only listen to your subconscious mind once your
conscious mind has a moment to settle.
Self-reflection: Being bored encourages you
to think about your cunent state, in a way that
racing around being occupied and engaged does
not. Self-reflection can be a catalyst for making
changes to our jobs and lifestyle.
Selflessness: According to a study, boredom
can inspire people to be altruistic, empathetic
and engage in selfless tasks such as giving to
charity, volunteering or donating blood.
Slow down: When we're feeling bored,
it's easy to turn on your mobile phone or tablet
for entertainment, Yet favouring this virtual world
means we stop noticing the real world that
surrounds us. Looking at the natural environment
helps our minds to slow down and enjoy life.
Breaking the cycle: Research shows we
get a dopamine hit each time we experience
something new. In our fast-paced and constantly
changing world, we have become accustomed to
experiencing this hit all the time. By embracing
boredom we can break this cycle and start to
enjoy the simple pleasures in life again.
Taking tirne out: We live in aworld oI2417
connectivity. This keeps our minds constantly
active. There is no downtime. Being bored allows
us to take time oui from the constant buzz of
activity. lt allows us to enter a more relaxed state
and stop the roller coaster feeling that many of
us struggle with. ls that really such a bad thing?

cities (C) and which with smatter communities (S)? Which
could be both?
2 Which are important to your lifestyle?
3 What else can you add to this [ist?
City life or the quiet life?
It's an age-old question. Where do we put
down roots: in a big, noisy ciry or a quiet,
calm refuge? In 1845, the writer Henry
David Thoreau embraced what would now
be called an alternative lifestyle.
Overwhelmed by restlessness and unable to
put up with society, he went and lived alone
in the woods for two years, two months and
two davs. He then wrote a famous book
about iris experiences. While he found
happiness in solitude, other people need the
bright lights and the company of crowds to
feel alive.
So, what are the benefits of city life?
B fninf about your answers in Exercise 7.
What are the pros and cons of city life
compared to life in smalter communities?

WORD-BUILDING: PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES

6 A ReaO about a sculptor. What did she build when

she was a child?

The midnight maker *

Alyssa Levandry, sculptor
l/ids are natural builders. As a
Ntoddler. I used wooden blocks
to make towers that I toppled with
a joyful kick. At five, I built famous
empires out of Lego. Tiny plastic
soldiers guarding blue castles. Houses
of all colours and strange monsters
with many heads. Childish things, but
to me, magical.
As a seven-year-old, I built and
submerged a fifty-centimetre dam
in the stream by my house. lt was
made of sticks and leaves, mud and
grass. By then, my best friend Tammy
was building with me. At nine, we
constructed bridges made of dry pasta
and glue. They were so accurate in
scale, so reliable in construction that
we could stand them on my bedroom
floor and run toy cars across them like
the Brooklyn Bddge.
A few years later I built a musical
instrument out of wood and rubber
bands. I cut a hole in the wood so
the sound could echo and I tied the
rubber bands across the hole like
guitar strings. I was a midnight maker
of things - objecs and structures
that were the fruits of my misspent
childhood.
At fourteen, my co-creator Tammy
could disassemble and reassemble
a radio; at {ifteen, she could do the
same with a computen but I preferred
natural objects. Electronics never
interested me. I liked the sound and
the smell of wood, the feel of mud on
my hands. I did then and I still do.

Bethany Hamilton is undoubtedly
one of the best surfers in the
world. She has won numerous
awards. What makes her
achievements even more
incredible is that Bethany surfs
with just one arm as her left arm
was bitten off in a shark attack.
Born in Hawaii, Bethany grew
up in a family who loved to
surf. She typically spent much
of her childhood on the beach
and by the age of seven she
was already cheerfully confident
on a surfboard. She entered her
first competition when she was
eight and in the following years she
competed in many events. At the age
of thirteen, after coming second in
the national championships, she was a
rising star.
The future was looking bright. Then tragedy
struck. On 3 | October 2003, at the age of
thirteen, Bethany was surfing with her best
friend when she was attacked by a fifteen-
foot tiger shark. The shark took Bethany's
left arm and she nearly lost her life. Talking
about the event, Bethany says, 'lt literally
came out of the blue. I had no warning at
all; not even the slightest hint of danger on
the horizon. The waves were small and I was
!ust kind of rolling along with them, relaxing
on my board, with my left arm dangling in
the water. I remember thinking, "l hope the
surf picks up soon!".'
Then Bethany saw a grey flash and felt
something pull on her arm. At first she didn't
realise what had happened. But when she
looked down she saw
that the water was
bright red and her
left arm and a huge
chunk of her surfboard
had gone.
Somehow she managed
to stay calm and started
to paddle back towards
the beach, where
friends desperately
tried to help her and
she received immediate
medical treatment.
Amazingly, Bethany survived the attack,
thanks to the prompt treatment she received.
But realistically, it looked like her dreams of
becoming a professional surfer were over.
However, while many people might have given
up, Bethany bravely decided she wasn't going
to let her difficulties stop her from achieving
her dreams. Less than a month after the
accident, she was back on her surfboard
and before long she was winning
competitions again.
She is now ranked as among the top
fifty female surfers in the world, despite
her disability, and she has become an
inspiration for many. The film Soul Surfer
was inspired by Bethany's amazing story.
