Read the text below. For questions (1-5) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

In spite of its widespread diffusion, music remains an enigma. Music for those who live with it is so important that to be deprived of it would be cruel and unusual punishment. Moreover the perception of music as a central part of life is not only for professionals or gifted amateurs. It is true that those who studied the techniques of musical composition can more thoroughly appreciate the beauty of a musical work than those who have not. But even listeners who cannot read musical notation and who have never learnt an instrument may be deeply involved so that a day without music is wasted.

In the context of contemporary culture, this is puzzling. Many people think that music is a luxury rather than a necessity, and that words or pictures are the only means of influence. Those who do not appreciate music think that it has no significance except giving pleasure. This is, no doubt, why our society seldom provides a significant place in education. Today, when education is becoming very practical, music is likely to be treated as an extra in the school curriculum and which only well-to-do parents can afford.

1. What does the author of the text find enigmatic about music?   [A, B, C, D]

A That it can be enjoyed by anyone.

B That a thing so widely loved does not play a more important role in our society.

C That so many people who love music do not enjoy it more often.

D That our education system does not find it important.

2. How do different people take music?   [A, B, C, D]

A As something unusual.

B As something not necessary

C As something that interferes with their life.

D As something that only some people can afford.

3. What do many people think about the role of music in education?   [A, B, C, D]

A That it is overestimated.

B That it is underestimated.

C That it is not thought about at all.

D That it is forgotten.

4. Which words in the text show that the author is critical about the role of music?   [A, B, C, D]

A A day without music is wasted.

B This is puzzling.

C A luxury.

D Treated as an extra.

5. Which of these titles is the most suitable for the text?   [A, B, C, D]

A A day without music is wasted.

B Music is not important.

C Music is an enigma.

D Music is wonderful.

1.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Chocolate is made from the seeds of the tree Theobroma cacao. The ancient Aztecs used the beans of the cacao tree as a form of money. The Aztecs discovered that by the crushing the beans into a paste and adding spices, they could make a refreshing and nourishing drink. This drink was very bitter, not like our chocolate drinks today. 16th-century European explorers brought the drink back from their travels, added sugar, and soon it was popular as an expensive luxury.

2.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]You can receive “sweet tooth” from your parents. Recent study at New York University suggests there is a genetic reason why some people prefer sugary foods. The study was based on two groups of mice. The parents of the first group were given sweetened water and the parents of the second-unsweetened water. The team found the gene that was different in the two groups of mice and then looked for similar genetic chains in humans.

3.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]All modern chocolate products have large amounts of sugar, a fact which may partly explain why it becomes a sort of drug for some people. An ability to recognize sweet things, and a tendency to like them was very useful for our forefathers. Such a genetic quality made prehistoric humans look for energy-rich, healthy and tasty food such as fruit, and helped them avoid bitter-tasting poisonous plants.

4.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Like other sweet food, chocolate helps endorphins, natural hormones that give us the feelings of pleasure and well-being, to appear in our body. Chocolate also makes us feel good by reacting with our brains. Scientists say that some people may develop chocoholism a dependency on chocolate. So it's just possible that, with every bar of chocolate, your brain changes step by step in order to make you love chocolate more and more!

5.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, many scientific works were written explaining the advantages of chocolate for medicine, and today it's a regular food in army rations. Chocolate could help prevent tooth decay, according to scientists at Japan's Osaka University. The cocoa beans from which chocolate is made have an antibacterial agent that fights tooth decay. These parts of the beans are not usually used in chocolate production, but in future they could be added back in to chocolate to make it friendly for teeth.
