When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they’re usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure?Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.

Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the shade of taller trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.

Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators（捕食者）in the tall trees and migrating(迁徙) birds rest there.

Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers(化肥) and pesticides(杀虫剂) are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.

Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shade grown” and “bird friendly.” Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we’re paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it’s worth it. 32. Which opinion does the author probably agree with?

A. People should buy full-sun coffee. B. Shade-grown coffee should be supported. C. Farmers should change the places to grow coffee. D. Pesticides should be forbidden in coffee planting.

33. Compared with the traditional method, what advantage does the full-sun method have?

A. It can protect the ecosystem. B. It can promote people’s health. C. It can provide more nests for birds. D. It can increase the production of coffee.

34. How do farmers get more land to grow full-sun coffee?

A. They buy more land from other farmers.

B. They move to other countries. C. They cut down trees.

D. They turn grassland into farmland.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Why plant Full- Sun coffee? B. Why buy Shade-Grown coffee?

C. How does Shade-Grown coffee affect the health? D. How does Full-Sun coffee damage the ecosystem?
