说明:16. Much of the world’s coffee

is grown in Brazil. Not long ago an

unseasonable frost swept through

coffee plantations there. The result

affected people in many countries for

a long time to come.

At first, reports of serious damage

were received. These led to a sharp

rise in the price of coffee, which had

not been a highly profitable crop.

Growers in other countries made extra

efforts to increase their exports to

profit from the expected shortage.

However, they were hampered by

smugglers who wished to avoid

government controls. The price of

coffee fell slightly.

Then large restaurants and hotels

began to buy coffee to build up stocks

for future use. The price rose sharply

and public resistance developed.

Housewives organized a boycott of

coffee. This led to a rise in the price of

tea and a fall in the price of coffee.

Much to the dismay of growers, the

price fell sharply. Their response was

rather surprising. Instead of selling

their stocks of coffee, they began to

buy on the open market. Their motive

was clear. They wanted to force the

price of coffee up, and one way of

doing this was to reduce the amount

of coffee available for sale to the

public.

Luckily for coffee-drinkers, this move

failed. Restaurants and hotels stopped

buying coffee. Large numbers of small

growers had to sell their crops to keep

alive. The large growers found that

they were buying more coffee than

they were growing. They abandoned

their efforts and let the normal law of

supply and demand decided the price.

Meanwhile, millions of people had

changed to cheaper drinks and would

not switch back to coffee.(10分)
