Text for questions number 23 to 26
 The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures of two
or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to
the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘tastes messages’.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The
nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a few
seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitives to only a particular taste. These four
groups are located in different parts of the toungue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour
tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at the
innermost edge of tongue. There are taste-buds at the center of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste. Similarly,
attractive colors can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is dull-
colored, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when
placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.

a. The good smell of food d. The senses of smell and sight

a. The food will lose its taste d. The taste-buds will be sensitive
b. The taste-buds will be very responsive e. The food won’t smell good
c. The taste of the food increases
25. The senses of smell and sight ....
a. Increase the taste of the food d. Make the food look good
b. Affect the taste of the food e. Make the food attractive
c. Make food more delicious
