1. Coffee's path from a wild shrub in the Ethiopian highlands to the world's second most traded commodity took centuries, and much of that journey was shaped less by taste than by control. For a long time, the Yemeni port of Mocha held a near-total monopoly on coffee exports, a position it protected by forbidding the export of fertile, unroasted beans; anyone caught smuggling a live plant risked severe punishment. That monopoly finally broke in the early eighteenth century when a small number of seedlings reached European colonies, allowing plantations to spread across the Caribbean and Southeast Asia within a few decades. The crop that followed those seedlings carried with it an enormous human cost, since the labour-intensive cultivation and processing of coffee cherries relied overwhelmingly on enslaved and later indentured workers on colonial plantations. By the nineteenth century, coffee had become so central to colonial economies that entire regions reorganised their agriculture, infrastructure, and even their populations around its cultivation. Today's coffee industry, with its emphasis on single-origin beans and traceable supply chains, exists in uneasy tension with this history, as producers and consumers alike grapple with a commodity whose modern appeal often obscures how thoroughly its early expansion was tied to monopoly, secrecy, and forced labour. According to the passage, how did Mocha protect its monopoly on coffee exports?

5. For decades, the standard explanation for why we forget most of our dreams within minutes of waking rested on a simple assumption: dreams, being generated largely in brain regions disconnected from those responsible for forming long-term memories, were never properly encoded in the first place and therefore had nothing to be retrieved later. Recent work in sleep laboratories has complicated this picture considerably. Researchers who wake subjects at different points during the night and ask them to describe what they were experiencing find that vivid, detailed dream narratives are available almost immediately upon waking, regardless of which sleep stage the person was in. What seems to vanish is not the memory itself but the window of opportunity to consolidate it: unlike waking experiences, which the brain has hours to reinforce before the following night's sleep, a dream that occurs just before waking has essentially no time to be stabilised before the flood of new sensory input from the waking world begins competing for the same neural resources. Supporting this view, subjects who are asked to lie still with their eyes closed for even a minute after waking, deliberately rehearsing the dream before any other activity, recall significantly more of it hours later than subjects who get up immediately. If this account is correct, dream forgetting may have less to do with where dreams are generated in the brain and more to do with simple bad timing, a memory losing a race against the onset of ordinary waking life. What is the main idea of the passage?
