Read the paragraphs and choose the correct heading for each from the list below. There are more headings than paragraphs, so you will not use them all. CHOCOLATE — THE FOOD OF THE GODS 1. Paragraph A: The story of chocolate begins with the discovery of America in 1492. Columbus was the first European to come into contact with cacao. On August Sth, 1502, on his fourth and last voyage to the Americas, Columbus and his crew met some natives in a canoe that contained beans from the cacao tree. Columbus was struck by how much value the Indians placed on them as he did not know the beans were used for currency. Itis unlikely that Columbus brought any of these beans back to Spain and it was not until about twenty years later that Cortez grasped the commercial possibilities when he found the Aztecs using the beans to make the royal drink “chocolat”. BlOtto Channel Cuyén thi chuyén Anh — Olympic - HSGOtto Channel_8 kiém tra nang luc Lop B2 2. Paragraph B: The Spanish, in general, were not fond of the bitter drink so Cortez and his followers made it more palatable by adding cane sugar and later cinnamon and vanilla were added. Spanish monks let the secret out back home and, although the Spanish hid it from their neighbours for a hundred years, finally chocolate's popularity grew until it was the fashionable drink at the French court and the discerning choice of customers at London meeting houses. 3. Paragraph C: 7 The cacao beans are harvested from pods grown on the cacao tree. The pods come in a range of types since cacao trees cross-pollinate freely. These types can be reduced to three classifications. The most common is Forastero, which accounts for nearly 90% of the world’s production of cacao beans. This is the easiest to cultivate and has a thick-walled pod and a pungent aroma. Rarest and most prized are the beans of the Criollo. These beans from the sof, thin-skinned pod have an aroma and delicacy that make them sought after by the world’s best chocolate makers. Finally, there is the Trinitario, which is believed to be a natural cross from strains of the other two types. It has a great variety of characteristics but generally possesses a good, aromatic flavour and the trees are particularly suitable for cultivation. 4. Paragraph D: The cacao tree is strictly a tropical plant thriving only in hot, rainy climates. Thus, its cultivation is confined to countries not more than 20 degrees north or south of the equator. The cacao tree is very delicate and sensitive. It needs protection from the wind and requires a fair amount of shade under most conditions. This is true especially in its first two or three years of growth. A newly planted cacao seedling is often sheltered by a different type of tree. It is normal to plant food crops for shade such as bananas, plantain, coconuts or cocoyams. Rubber trees and forest trees are also used for shade. Once established, however, cacao trees can grow in full sunlight, provided there are fertile soil conditions and intensive husbandry. With pruning and careful cultivation, the trees of most strains will begin bearing fruit in the fifth year. With extreme care, some strains can be induced to yield good crops in the third and fourth years. 5. Paragraph E: The process of turning cacao into chocolate hasn't changed much since the Swiss made the major breakthroughs in the process in the late 1800s. First the beans (up to twelve varieties harvested from all over the world) go through a process of fermentation and drying. They are then sorted by hand before cleaning and then roasting. Winnowing follows which removes the hard outer hulls and leaves what is known as the “nibs”. A crushing and heating process known as Hunte'’s Process is then used to @}Otto Channe Luyén thi chuyén Anh — Olympic - HSGOtto Channel_Bé kiém tra nang luc Lop B2 remove nearly half of the cocoa butter from the nibs. This makes unsweetened chocolate (also known as cooking chocolate). Basic eating chocolate is made from a blending of the unsweetened chocolate with some of the cocoa butter along with other ingredients such as sugar and vanilla. The resulting product is then “conched” and this conching gives chocolate the velvet texture that we know so well. The finished result is ther n moulded, cooled, packaged by machine, distributed, sold and, of course, eaten! List of headings i. ili. v. vii. Growing The Tree ii.

DOLPHINS HAVE THEIR OWN NAMES Scientists studying the species of dolphin called bottlenose dolphins has made an interesting discovery. Each of the dolphins in the group the scientists studied have their own name, consisting of a series of whistles. ‘As many animals can copy and learn complicated sequence of sounds, few species are capable of associating particular sounds to specific individuals or things. Dolphins use sounds when they communicate for a variety of reasons, include leading other dolphins to places where food is. available and showing how friendly or aggressively they are feeling. Dolphins mainly use their names, known as "signature whistles,” when they are traveling, to let the others in their group know where are they. ‘And when a group, of dolphins comes across another group while out at sea, they appear to use them like a means of greeting each other, ‘exchanging information before the groups join. The whistles also use when mothers and their young get separated. ChannelOtto Channel__Bé kiém tra nang lc Lop B2 No/Line Mistake Correction No/Line Mistake Correction |. WRITING 1.
