Q.8 Read the passage quickly and state what it is about. Also suggest a suitable title for the passage. Read Unit 5 for guidance on speed reading. (15)
Chocolate was first used as a drink over 3,500 years ago in Central America. It was very popular with the Mayans and the Aztecs, who mixed cocoa beans with vanilla or chilli peppers. In fact, cocoa beans were so important to them that they were used as money. Cocoa was first grown in Ecuador, which was, for a long time, the world’s number-one producer of cocoa beans. It is still one of the top ten producers of the beans, but nowadays more than 70 per cent of cocoa beans come from West Africa.
Cocoa beans Cocoa beans come from cocoa trees. These trees grow in tropical forests around the world, from South America to Indonesia. The beans grow in colourful pods of red, yellow and purple. Inside the pods are the beans. Each tree grows around 50 pods a year, and each pod can contain between 20 and 60 beans.
Once the pods are picked from the tree, they are opened and the beans are taken out.
The beans need to go through a number of different processes before they are ready to be turned into chocolate. First, the beans and the pulp are placed in special boxes, where they slowly ferment for up to five days. Here the beans turn brown and start to develop their special flavour. They are then put out in the sun to dry for approximately 14 days. After this, they are roasted for about 15 minutes in preparation for the final stage, when the beans are taken out of their shells. At the end of this process, we are left with the cocoa ‘nibs’ - chocolate in its purest fonn and the basic ingredient for all chocolate products.
Answer:
The passage is about the origin of chocolate which is made up of cocoa beans. Cocoa was first grown in Ecuador and now mostly come from West Africa. Cocoa beans have to go through many processes before turning into chocolate in its purest form with its special flavour.
