Passage FourCoffee is one of the most popular drinks throughout the world today. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine can stimulate (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake. One story of the discovery of the coffee plant in East Africa records this effect of caffeine. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way. Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the same effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village. The green bean got the name “Kaffa” and later “coffee” because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. Then they could be used at any time.1. What is caffeine? ______ A.
