(78)Would you risk your life for a country that considered you a second

life but separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your
skin?That is precisely what the Tuskegee Airmen did.They were brave，
intelligent，African American men and women who fought for the United States in
World Warll.
In l940，President Franklin Dclano Roosevelt agreed to allow African

The Tuskegee Airmen had an amazing record.They did not lose any of the
bombers thev were escorting(护航).When the War was over in l945，the Tuskegee
Airmen were heroes.But when they returned to America，they were appalled to fmd
out that they were still treated like second class citizens.They faced the
sallle segregation(种族隔离)and discrimination(歧视)as they had before they
began their trainin9.
Frederick Henry，one of the original Tuskegee Airmen，lives in
Detroit,Michigan. Because he was from the North，he would often forget the
segregation rules of the South.Once,Henry was on a bus alone with a white bus
driver.Soon，after the two had talked for a while.a wave of othepaSsengefS came
on the bus·A problem arose when some white passengers were still
staIldin9.which was agamst the rules·Henry was put off the bus，even though he
was the first perSon“board the bus and had paid his fare.

Coffee is a powerful drink.On a personal level，it helps keep us awake and
active.(80)0n a much general level,it has helped shape our history and
continues to shape our history and continues to shape our culture.
coffee plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by 仃
avelling tribes(部落) for tllousands of years，but it wasn’t until the l400s
that people figWed out they could roast its seeds·“Then it really took off，
"said historian Mark Pendergrast--author of Uncommon Grounds： the History 0f
Coffee and How It Transformed Our World.By the 1500s，the drink had spread to
coneehouses across the Arab world.Within another 150 years，it took Europe by
storm.“It actual— ly had a maJ0¨mpact on the rise of business，”Pendergrast
says.Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.
The msurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’
s 2,000 coffee. nouSes·Llterature，newspapers and even the works of great
composers like Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.
It i8 0ften said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773，when American
colonists(殖民者)at tacked British tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into
the harbor，Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee.“There’S a
lot of truth to the story，I found，”Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter
John Adams wrote to his wife，Abigail，in which the Founding Father declares
his love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead，
because drinking tea had be— come unpatriotic(不爱国的).
For all the upsides coffee has brought the modem world，it also brought
its fair share of down— sides，t00.Europeans carried coffee with them as they
colonized various parts of the world，and this frequently meant they made
people into slaves in order to grow it.
