New Foods and the New World 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 1500s. 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. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an 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 1400s. 31 According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years? B Clothing. D Language. A some cocoa trees. C some shops. 33 Thousands of Irish people starved during the Potato Famine because B they were forced to leave their homeland and move to America. D the potato harvest was bad. A Brazil. C Ethiopia. 35 Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage? B Coffee is native to Colombia. D Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.
