问题 In the last 500 years，  nothing about people——not their clothes，  ideas，  or languages——has changed as much as what they eat．The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians．The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’S．And although it was very expensive，it quickly became fashionable．In London，shops where chocolate 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 Eu—rope，where it soon was widely grown．Ireland became SO dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845一1846．and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World But someothers went in the opposite direction．Brazil is nOW the world’S largest grower of coffee，and coffee is 811 important crop in Colombia and 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 1 400s．  According tO an Arabic legend，coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to 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 the day with．
选项
答案在近500年期间，对于人类来说，包括他们的服装、观念、语言，没有比他们的食品的变化更大的了。原始的巧克力饮料是南美印第安人用可可树种子制成的。十六世纪西班牙人把它介绍给了整个世界。尽管非常昂贵，但是它还是很快成为时尚。在伦敦，有巧克力饮料出售的商店成为重要的会面地方，一些商店甚至在今天还存在。土豆也来自新大陆。大约在十七世纪，西班牙人把它从秘鲁引入欧洲，很快它就在欧洲广泛种植开来。爱尔兰人如此依赖土豆，以至于在1845年到1846年“土豆饥荒”期间，成千上万的爱尔兰人面临饥饿，并且数干人被迫离开他们的祖国到了美洲。还有许多其他食品从南美传到了欧洲，但是另一些却奔向相反的地方。巴西现在是世界最大的咖啡生产国，在哥伦比亚和其他南美国家咖啡是重要的作物。但是它的原产地是一个非洲国家——埃塞俄比亚。十五世纪阿拉伯人第一次把它制成饮料。根据一个阿拉伯传说，当一个名叫卡迪的人看到他的羊被咖啡丛上的红色浆果吸引时，发现了咖啡。他尝试了一下，体会到那种清爽振奋的感觉。而现在世界三分之一的人每天以这种感觉开始一天的生活。
