An international group of coffee experts has considered Ethiopia's coffee as the best in the world.Coffee is a top export（出口物） of the country.But at home，it is seen as national pride.Ethiopians feel good about their coffee，and enjoying a drink with friends is a long tradition.
Some people say the climate produces quality beans.Morton Wennersgarrd is a coffee importer.He said，"Ethiopia has different ancient types of coffee.They are planted in places with perfect soil，perfect altitude，and climates that are really suitable for coffee processing."
Finding the best quality beans is often an issue of taste.The process is known as cupping—tasting and comparing coffee from different roasted beans，grading and then pricing them.But before international experts come to taste，coffee beans are studied in small coffee laboratories.Helen Assefa，a lab technician，describes the process，"When the coffee comes to the lab，we assess（評(píng)價(jià)） its quality first by recording the details.Then we weigh the moisture（水分） level and we examine the beans for analysis.After that we grind（磨碎） the coffee beans and taste the samples.In the end we check for defective（有瑕疵的） beans." Mubarik Abaoli is a lab worker.He says that testing is a very difficult and long process."We select out the defects by hjye.ai.And we select out the defect according to the defect types."
Ethiopia has got a lot of money by exporting coffee to more than 120 countries.The country has an export revenue（稅收） of more than ﹩840 million a year.But not all the best coffee leaves Ethiopia.Forty percent of the coffee grown in the country stays there.It remains an important part of everyday life at work，at home and at ceremonies.

2．Each year on Halloween，children look forward to trick-or-treating （不請(qǐng)客就搗亂） for candies．But for some kids，eating Halloween candies can be dangerous．
That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy（過(guò)敏癥）．They are allergic to ingredients（成分）in many Halloween candies，such as peanuts，tree nuts，milk，eggs，and beans．If they eat these foods，they will get sick or even die．
"I had to throw away all my candies with tears，" eight-year-old Conlen said．Conlen is allergic to peanuts，tree nuts，and dairy．Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts．She has been trick-or-treating only twice． "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors，" Kylie said． "It felt terrible．"
But this year，Conlen，Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween．That's because nearly 100，000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project（TPP），which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education（FARE）．FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies．Through the project，the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters，including trinkets（小飾品） and toys．
To take part in the project，people buy a teal（藍(lán)綠色） pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house．The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there．The households also add their home addresses to an online map，making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them．
Kylie loves the idea．"The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe，" she said．"It makes me feel like a normal kid，and it makes everyone feel included．"
（1）To Conlen and Kylie，the past Halloween were．
A．upsetting and dangerous
B．interesting and special
C．sick and terrible
D．important and exciting
（2）According to the passage，we know that FARE．
A．helps people with food allergies recover

3．Besides the excitement of travel，one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs，holidays，foods，art，music，and politics first-hand.
"I learned the language and am now fluent，but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures，people，and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family，not from the tourist's point of view，" says Andrew，who studied in Poitiers，F(xiàn)rance.
Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas，Venezuela，a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35，000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that？
Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition（過(guò)渡）to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers（同齡人）. "After having gone abroad in high school，I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
Most of all，it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.
（1）What is the passage mainly about？
