My husband，Bob，is a pilot，and one day we were invited to a potluck (百味餐) at his flying squadron(飞行中队). The noisy room was filled with mouthy kids and their chatting moms and dads. Our son，Daniel, was only two years old. We let him play with the other kids because it was a safe environment.

After a while，he came back with a package of peanut butter crackers and proudly held them out to us. A pilot who asked “Do you know whose this little boy is?”followed him.

“He is mine,” I answered, wondering what Daniel might have done.

“Well,” replied the pilot, “I've been passing out crackers to the kids for almost two hours，and your son is one of the youngest guys I gave them to. He's the only one who said 'Thank you'. What he did makes me pleased.”

听力原文：W: Mmm. This is yummy coffee, Bob. How's yours?

M: It's excellent. You know, Teresa, I just read an article about coffee last night. It was in that journal that Professor Clark recommended to us.

W: Which one was that? Oh, I think I know. Food Economics Review. Isn't that it?

M: That's the one. Anyway, in the article there were all kinds of interesting things about coffee that I'd never known before.

W: Yeah? Like what?

M: Well, did you know that over 30 million people earn their living from some aspect of coffee farming?

W: That's a lot of people. Coffee obviously has a lot of importance economically.

M: Absolutely. In fact, it's the second most valuable commodity in the world after oil.

W: Wow! Well, if it's that big, it's probably produced and controlled by a few large companies, just like with oil.

M: Well, this article said otherwise. It said that most coffee's grown by farmers with only 4 or 5 hectares of land. And coffee's usually all they produce.

W: So who produces the most coffee? I mean which country?

M: It depends on what type of coffee bean you're talking about.
