EARTHWORMS
An earthworm digs a hole by pushing into the loose soil with its pointed head end
which then thickens, forcing the soil apart. Slowly but surely, the worm draws the rest of
its body up to disappear into the hole. The earthworm can do this because its body has
many narrow rings joined together by a softer material that enables it to change shape.
Whenever the soil is too hard to be pushed aside, the earthworm eats its way through.
By burrowing into the soil, the earthworm creates channels and pockets into
which air can enter. This allows the soil to become oxygenated so that plant roots can
be breathe. In this way, earthworms act as gardeners and cultivators of the soil

HOW CHOCOLATE IS MADE
Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the
amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly we are eating.

Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree
produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruits are the tree's
seeds. They are also known as coco beans.

Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are
shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to
bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and
flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.

The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat
nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are
ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.

All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However,
cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter
chocolate.

48. What is coco bean?

a. A cacao product that is like a small pineapple.
b. A cacao fruit which grows in America.
c. The seed inside the cacao fruit.
d. it can produce chocolate through pocess.
 49. What makes different flavor of chocolate?
a. The places they come from
b. The different chocolate makers.
c. From the process they pass through
d. The duration of their process.
