41. Food from the Old World and Food From the New World What do you eat for breakfast? Coffee and eggs? Perhaps a banana? What about your favorite dinner? Pizza and chocolate cake? Chicken and rice? Meat and potatoes? Today, many people in the world can buy all of these foods easily. However, this has not always been possible. In the past, these foods were not available everywhere. What’s the main idea?

42. A big change occurred about 500 years ago, when people from the Old World began to explore the New World. They found many unfamiliar kinds of food in the New World. They found potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, chilies, corn and chocolate. Today, many of these New World foods are very common in Europe and Asia.

43. What are two collocations with verbs and the noun ANIMALS? The explores brought food from the Old World with them. They were many foods that the people in the New World did not have at that time. For example, there was no milk, cheese or bananas. People of the New World did not raise animals for food. Instead, they hunted animals, as well as birds and insects. They did not have chickens, cows, pigs, or sheep. These animals came to the New World with European explorers.

44. Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, explorers from Europe and Asia brought crops, that is, useful plants, from their countries to the New World. They planted crops like wheat, apples, and sugar cane. Today these crops are very common in North and South America. The United States is the second largest producer of apples and wheat, and Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugar cane. What is a crop? Define the word. Give an example.

45. Is EXPLORER a noun or verb? What is the suffix? Why did the population of the world grow in 18th and 19th century? The explorers also brought new foods back to their countries. Some foods, such as corn and potatoes, became very important in the Old World. Many New World crops are easy to grow even when the soil and weather are not good. New World crops like potatoes could also feed a lot of people. This increase in food helped the world’s population to grow quickly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

46. What does rare mean? Some New World foods, like corn and potatoes, were available to almost everyone in the Old World. However, other foods from the New World, like chocolate and pineapples, were only for rich people. They did not grow in the Old World, so they were rare. Poor people could not pay for them. In the seventeenth century, pineapples were so valuable that people did not eat them. They put them on their tables, like flowers. What is the main idea of this paragraph?

47. Many different foods are available all over the world today, so it is sometimes difficult to remember that this was not always true. Thirty percent of all food plants in the world today came from the New World. Think about ice cream. Three of the most popular flavors of ice cream are vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. All three of these flavors are from plants. Five hundred years ago, these plants grew only in the New World. What does THIS refer to, in line THIS IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE?
