TEST B
If you had bread for breakfast today, a slice of toast, or
perhaps a croissant, you are certainly not alone. 1____
No matter where you travel, you will probably find a
culture that has its own type of bread.
The story of bread goes back a long way – in fact,
about 10,000 years. 2____ However, they discovered
that they could use rocks to crush the hard grains from
some plants, which we know today as wheat, to make
a rough powder, or flour. They mixed the flour with
water, put the mixture on flat stones and waited for
the bread to bake.
These first breads were hard and flat and they
probably didn’t taste very nice, but gradually, the
recipe for bread improved. The ancient Egyptians, for
example, discovered how to make fermented dough:
they added ingredients to make the mixture rise, so
that it became lighter and tasted better. 3____ In the
same way, different cultures developed their own
recipes, using local ingredients and suiting it to their
traditions.
The technology for baking bread also improved. The
first ovens were made of clay and a wood fire burned
inside them. 4____ By the time the oven had cooled,
the bread was baked. At first, bread was made in
people’s homes. Then, in the Middle Ages, people
started to take their bread mixtures to local bakeries to
be baked. These bakeries had large brick ovens which
were heated by wood or coal. Today, of course, most
of the world’s bread is baked in large factories and is
then transported to where it is sold.
Most people can easily go to a supermarket or a
baker’s shop to buy bread when they need it. 5____ In
France in the 18th century, for example, there was
very little bread in the shops and its price was high.
Angry people rioted in the streets and Marie
Antoinette famously said, ‘Let them eat cake.’ Bread is
an emotional issue. It’s mentioned in ancient books,
prayers, and proverbs of many different cultures. In
many places it’s seen as one of the most important
foods, and is central to many cultures in ways that
other foods are not.
A Bread is one of the most widely eaten foods in
the world and it comes in an incredible range of
shapes and sizes.
B However, when things go wrong, it’s often bread
that disappears first.

C The bread mixture was placed inside these and
then the opening was closed.
D In some countries, bread was considered a
greater luxury than the most expensive meat.
E People didn’t grow food then, but went out in
the grasslands to look for plants and grains that
they could eat.
F The ancient Greeks, and later the Romans, baked
flat bread and often flavoured it with herbs and
spices.
