Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beans were brought i
2、nto the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, and North Africa by the 15th century. Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers. Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee

9、ue aesthetic: wooden furniture and plush couches, paintings and murals drawn on walls, and softlighting combine to give coffee shops the cozy feeling of a home away from home. Today, big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world. Starbucks alone has stores in over 40 coun
10、tries and plans to add more. Despite its popularity, Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a bloodsucking corporate machine, driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices. This has even spawned an anticorporate coffee counterculture, with those subscribing to t
11、his culture boycotting big business coffee chains. Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition.

There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy
15、 to stay at the Airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter: the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only$145. I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but t

He says a drug in cigarettes fights that sleepy feeling. That drug，nicotine，can be addictive; smokers need

Thakkar says，“They feed off one another.”Researchers have already known that people who use alcohol often smoke. In fact，earlier research s
