THE WORLD’S FAVOURITE DRUG: ten things you didn’t know about co ee 1 8 9 10 2 3 4 5 6 7 For millions of us, co ee is a big part of our lifestyle. Early birds crave it. People who work long hours need it. And those with active lifestyles drink it to give them energy. But how much do we know about it? Co ee was discovered in Ethiopia in the ninth century AD. The story goes like this: a goat-herder named Khalid noticed that his goats became energetic when they ate the mysterious beans on the mountains. He took some of the beans to the village and had them turned into a drink. It wasn’t until co ee arrived in Mocha, Yemen, that the drink’s popularity began to spread. From Mocha (the drink was named after the place), co ee beans were exported to India, Java, and eventually to Europe. An alternative story says that co ee was prohibited from leaving Yemen, but a seventeenth-century traveller named Baba Budan smuggled seven co ee beans to India, where he had them planted and harvested by local people. It’s said now that all of the world’s co ee originates from those seven beans. The word co ee comes from the Arabic qahwat al-bun (wine of the bean). It was shortened to qahwa, which became the Turkish kahve, which became co ee. The world’s fi rst co ee house opened in Constantinople, now called Istanbul, in 1475. There are two types of co ee: arabica and robusta. Arabica is smoother, more popular and is used in more speciality co ees. Robusta is cheaper and contains more ca eine. It also grows in tougher conditions. The world’s two oldest recorded cats drank co ee every day. The oldest cat ever, Creme Pu , lived to thirty-eight. Her owner, Jake Perry, fed her co ee, 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. Co ee is the world’s second most popular drink, after tea. 500 billion cups are drunk every year. It’s also the second most commonly traded commodity, after oil. The biggest co ee drinkers are Scandinavians. On 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 co ee. Co ee had never before been drunk with milk, and this is the origin of café au lait. In recent times, co ee has been shown to have various health benefi ts: 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 co ee, is the leading co ee producer, followed by Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia.

Plan your own listicle. Follow steps 1–5. 1 Decide on a suitable topic. Think of it in terms of numbers (e.g. seven ways to leave your job). Apparently, odd numbers are more popular. 2 Gather ideas about the topic. It doesn’t matter if you have too many ideas – you can cut down later. 3 Choose a title. 4 Choose a style. Do you want it to be funny, informative, chatty or serious? Are you giving advice? Is it formal or informal? 5 Make some notes for each point in your listicle. B Write your listicle (250–300 words). Add some pictures to help illustrate your ideas. 1 Creativity: Boredom leads to creativity. You get ideas from being bored. It’s only when you’re bored that your mind has the time and the space to develop its own creative stimulation. 2 Problem-solving: Our 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. 3 Self-refl ection: Being bored encourages you to think about your current state, in a way that racing around being occupied and engaged does not. Self-refl ection can be a catalyst for making changes to our jobs and lifestyle. 4 Selfl essness: According to a study, boredom can inspire people to be altruistic, empathetic and engage in selfl ess tasks such as giving to charity, volunteering or donating blood. 5 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. 6 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. 7 Taking time out: We live in a world of 24/7 connectivity. This keeps our minds constantly active. There is no downtime. Being bored allows us to take time out from the constant buzz of activity. It allows us to enter a more relaxed state and stop the roller coaster feeling that many of us struggle with. Is that really such a bad thing? paint a picture help others relax Seven reasons why being bored is good for you As society gets busier and busier, we fi nd that even when we’re alone, we are constantly stimulated by smartphones and trying to keep up with social media. Have we forgotten the importance of being bored? We think of boredom as something negative, to be avoided, but boredom might actually be good for us. Here are some reasons why.

Complete the essay in Exercise 8A. City life or the quiet life? It’s an age-old question. Where do we put down roots: in a big, noisy city 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 days. He then wrote a famous book about his 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 benefi ts of city life? … M01_SKOT_CB_INTB1GLB_2395_M01.indd 17 14/03/2018 08:51 1.5 LOOKBACK 18 V LIFESTYLE 1 A Rearrange the letters in bold to complete the sentences. 1 I have an ictvae lifestyle.
