In the last 500 years, nothing about people-their clothes, ideas, or languages-haschanged as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's. Although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In Lon-don, 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 Europe, where it soon was widely grown. The potato was the main food at Irish table. Thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine"(土豆饥荒) of 1845～1846, and thousands more were forced to move to America.
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 world's largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚). It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
According to an Arabic story, coffee was discovered when a man named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red fruits 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.
According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years？
A．Food.
B．Chocolate drinks.
C．Potato.
D．Coffee.

听力原文：M: Honeybee Foods Corporation, engaged in fast food industry, has been developing rapidly and steadily in the Philippines these years, but few could imagine that it was started in 1975 as an ice cream parlor owned and run by the Chinese- Filipino Tan family. After the company President Tom Tan Caktiong (better known as TTC) realized that events triggered by the 1977 oil crisis would double the price of ice cream, Honeybee had diversified into sandwiches. The Tan's hamburger, made to a home-style. Philippine recipe, quickly became a customer favorite. A year later, the family incorporated as Honeybee Foods Corporation.
The company's name came from TTC'S vision of employees working happily and efficiently, like bees in a hive. Friendliness pervaded the organization and became one of the “Five Fs” that summed up Honeybee's philosophy. The others were flavorful food, a fun atmosphere, flexibility in catering to customer needs, and a focus on families (children flocked to the company's bee mascot whenever it appeared in public). The company's value proposition offered all of these to customers at an affordable price. The recipe of the local Filipino flavor and sound operation and management enabled the corporation to grow rapidly. Up to 1985, Honeybee had 28 chains in the Philippines.
The domestic business success of the corporation made President TTC get greatly interested in international expansion. Since 1985, Honeybee started seven chain stores respectively in Singapore, Taiwan, Brunei, and Indonesia. However, except for the four extremely successful chains in Brunei, the other three all failed in the end. The major causes for the business failure included lack of full exchange and communication among different divisions, some problems in the organizational structure, and too fast development of international business.
Honeybee had opened a large number of chains in a short period of time, but owing to limited management ability, many of these chains were unprofitable. The corporation should take the development step by step and make sure that each new chain was profitable. Only in this way could the corporation guarantee sustainable development.
