Yes, eating! The Ethiopians discovered coffee around 600 years ago. They used coffee beans and animal fat as food on long journeys across Africa. The Arabs were the first to drink coffee. They found it helped them stay awake while praying at night.Around 1600, people in Europe began to drink coffee. One Dutch farmer decided to grow his own coffee. He started a plantation on the island of Java in Indonesia. Soon farmers in Central and South America were doing the same. Today, most of the world's coffee still comes from Africa, Central and South America, and Indonesia.Medical studies say that three cups of coffee a day is OK. However, some people want to stop completely. Doctors say they should stop slowly. They should drink fewer cups of coffee each day for a week. People who stop fast often get terrible headaches as a result.【Notes】journey n. 旅程pray v. 祈祷plantation n. 农场，种植园1．What did the Ethiopians eat for food on their long journey across Africa?________________________________________________________________2．What good did the Arabs find about coffee when they first drank it?They found coffee_________________________________________________3．Who brought coffee to Indonesia?________________________________________________________________4．How many cups of coffee every day is OK for every one?________________________________________________________________5．What will happen if you stop drinking coffee too fast?________________________________________________________________短文写作足够的睡眠时间对学生来讲很重要，然而调查显示，许多学生馳蝴不足。
