question: MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) -- A former anti-drug czar in Mexico has been arrested on corruption charges in his home state of Chiapas, officials said.

Mariano Francisco Herran Salvatti, who also was the attorney general in Chiapas for more than six years, is charged with embezzlement, criminal association and other acts of corruption, Chiapas Attorney General Raciel Lopez Salazar said.

"In Chiapas, the validity of the law also means that the culture of privilege has passed and justice is applied equally to all," Lopez said on the Chiapas government Web page.

Herran was arrested Saturday night in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico, but Lopez did not announce the arrest until Sunday.

The attorney general contends Herran committed the crimes while he served as secretary of economic development in Chiapas, a post he held from November 2007 until June.

Officials are investigating irregularities involving 175 million pesos (about $12.5 million), Notimex said.

Herran served as drug czar for President Ernesto Zedillo from 1997 to 2000. In that post, he was involved in the prosecution of more than 60 members of the Juarez drug cartel and the investigation that led to the 2001 arrest of former Quintana Roo Gov. Mario Villanueva Madrid for his connections to drug traffickers.

Herran, a lawyer, served as attorney general in Chiapas from 2000 to 2006. He came under investigation in April on suspicion of violating the rights of 146 criminal suspects while he was attorney general and was fired as the economic development minister in June.

He still faces prosecution on those charges.

question: CHAPTER XXX

THE LADY FROM BEYOND

The morning was sultry, brooding, steamy. Antonia was at her music, and from the room where Shelton tried to fix attention on a book he could hear her practising her scales with a cold fury that cast an added gloom upon his spirit. He did not see her until lunch, and then she again sat next the Connoisseur. Her cheeks were pale, but there was something feverish in her chatter to her neighbour; she still refused to look at Shelton. He felt very miserable. After lunch, when most of them had left the table, the rest fell to discussing country neighbours.

"Of course," said Mrs. Dennant, "there are the Foliots; but nobody calls on them."

"Ah!" said the Connoisseur, "the Foliots--the Foliots--the people--er--who--quite so!"

"It's really distressin'; she looks so sweet ridin' about. Many people with worse stories get called on," continued Mrs. Dennant, with that large frankness of intrusion upon doubtful subjects which may be made by certain people in a certain way, "but, after all, one couldn't ask them to meet anybody."

"No," the Connoisseur assented. "I used to know Foliot. Thousand pities. They say she was a very pretty woman."

"Oh, not pretty!" said Mrs. Dennant! "more interestin than pretty, I should say."

Shelton, who knew the lady slightly, noticed that they spoke of her as in the past. He did not look towards Antonia; for, though a little troubled at her presence while such a subject was discussed, he hated his conviction that her face, was as unruffled as though the Foliots had been a separate species. There was, in fact, a curiosity about her eyes, a faint impatience on her lips; she was rolling little crumbs of bread. Suddenly yawning, she muttered some remark, and rose. Shelton stopped her at the door.

question: An international group of coffee experts has considered Ethiopia's coffee as the best in the world. Coffee is a top export ( ) of the country. But at home, it is seen as national pride. Ethiopians feel good about their coffee, and enjoying a drink with friends is a long tradition.

Some people say the climate produces quality beans. Morton Wennersgarrd is a coffee importer. He said,"Ethiopia has different ancient types of coffee. They are planted in places with perfect soil, perfect altitude ( ), and climates that are really suitable for coffee processing."

Finding the best quality beans is often an issue of taste. The process is known as cupping -- tasting and comparing coffee from different roasted beans, grading and then pricing them. But before international experts come to taste, coffee beans are studied in small coffee laboratories. Helen Assefa, a lab technician, describes the process, "When the coffee comes to the lab, we assess ( ) its quality first by recording the details. Then we weigh the moisture level and we examine the beans for analysis. After that we grind ( ) the coffee beans and taste the samples. At the end we check for defective beans." Mubarik Abaoli is a lab worker. He says that testing is a very difficult and long process. "We select out the defects by hand. And we select out the defect according to the defect types."

Ethiopia has got a lot of money by exporting coffee to more than 120 countries. The country has an export revenue ( ) of more than $840 million a year. But not all the best coffee leaves Ethiopia. Forty percent of the coffee grown in the country stays there. It remains an important part of everyday life at work, at home and at ceremonies.

2. To how many countries do they export?
3. How much do they keep?
4. Can you name an example of a person who buys coffee from Ethiopia?
5. Is Ethiopian coffee his favorite?
6. Why does he say their coffee is good?
7. How do they determine which beans are the best?
8. What's the definition of that?
9. Is the water amount of the beans a consideration?
10. When inspecting them, what do they do last?
11. Do they use machines to aid them in this process?
12. Is this a standard process of other coffee exporters?
13. Where do these processes take place?
14. Are the Ethiopians happy about their coffee?
