17、 motor-cars are produced which go even faster; each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price.

25、nds of silver coins.

26、in place of money: beaver furs, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used as substitutes (代替物) for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain.

A few years later,
29、 the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic (双金属的) standard.

35、ce that in 20 or 30 years, the varieties of coffee that we drink today will be extinct. And well be drinking a coffee substitute that more or less resembles the drink we enjoy today.The problem, of course, is the pace of climate change. Successful coffee cultivation has three preconditions: a warm,
36、highly stable (稳定的)tropical (热带的)climate with altitudes that keep air temperature between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, rich soil full of natural nutrients, and an ecological environment thats pest and disease resistant.Coffee is a crop that is only grown in a thin band called the “coffee belt” close t
37、o the equator (赤道). It simply wont grow anywhere else. Unfortunately, the “coffee belt” is extremely vulnerable to climate change. If the air is too cold or too hot, it prevents the growth of the coffee plant.Climate change also creates environmental stress, which spreads parasites, pests and plant
38、diseases. All of these increase the fragility of the coffee crop and create the possibility of species-destroying rot.Almost all the coffee cultivated in the world today is one of two species, arabica or Robusta, either of which might be wiped out in this way.

The country is faced with numerous development challenges that exacerbate its weakness facing climate change including increases in temperature, unstable rainfall and unpredictability of seasonal rain, and increased incidences of drought and other extreme events.”In other wo
41、rds, even as climate change threatens coffee as it exists today, climate change is also eating away at the root source which we might turn to for replacement species.What to do? Well, take the time to savor each cup of coffee you drink. Beyond that, stop electing the politicians who deny climate cha
