Most people today think of chocolate as
something sweet to eat or drink that can be easily found in stores around the
world. It might surprise you that chocolate was once highly treasured.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recently released a study.
It suggested that people in Central and South America first gathered the cacao
plant much earlier and for a different use than experts once thought.
① The researchers examined the chemistry of substances found in
ancient clay containers that were over three thousand years old. They discovered
that the substance came from an alcoholic drink made from the fruit of the cacao
plant. The researchers believe it was the interest in cacao as an alcoholic
drink that led to the use of its bitter seeds to make what is now known as
chocolate. ②
Historia
A. How ancient people used cacao plants.
B. Chocolate was valuable thousands of years ago.
C. Many ancient people farmed cacao plants.
D. How the cacao plant was made into chocolate.

their eyes towards space and wonder whether life exists in any part of it, they
may cheer themselves by remembering that life need not resemble closely the life
that exists on Earth. Mars looks like the only planet where life like ours could
exist, and even this is doubtful. But there may be other kinds of life based on
other kinds of chemistry, and they may multiply on Venus or Jupiter. At least we
cannot prove at present that they do not. Even more interesting
is the possibility that life on their planets may be in a more advanced stage of
evolution. Present-day man is in a peculiar and probably temporary stage. His
individual units retain a strong sense of personality. They are, in fact, still
capable under favorable circumstances of leading individual lives. But man’s
societies are already sufficiently developed to have enormously more power and
effectiveness than the individu A. their existence as free and separate beings B. their capability of living under favorable conditions C. their great power and effectiveness D. their strong desire for living in a close-knit society

If there was one thing Americans had a
right to expect from Congress, it was a federal plan to help the elderly pay for
prescription drugs. It is a promise that has been made again and again--in
particularly high decibels during the last presidential election. The House and
Senate have passed bills, and although both are flawed, this page has urged
Congress to finish work on them as a first step toward fulfilling this
longstanding commitment.
Unfortunately, things have changed. The
government cannot afford the program now. That is the fault of President Bush
and the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. They broke the bank with
their enormous tax cuts. The country is facing the largest budget deficit in
history, and there is no realistic plan for getting it under control. The
limited version
A. It is a federal plan that older Americans have expected for long.
B. The plan was mentioned over and over in the last presidential election.
C. The Democrats are opposed to the program.
D. The government has promised to fulfill the program.

the best evidence we have of civilization. In them is the accumulated knowledge
of the ages. The core of a college or university is its library. Schools are
spoken highly of for the size and effectiveness of their libraries. Since
libraries go on indefinitely and survive even the oldest teachers, they are full
of very old books. It is easy to think of a library as a place
where a lot of old books sit unused on the shelf. On the other hand, libraries
can be thought of as extremely timely and up to date. They have current books,
magazines, newspapers, and other materials that would be very expensive and
space-consuming if you were to subscribe to them all. Many libraries have
extensive collections of nonbook materials as well, including large recorded-
music collections. The best way to use a library is to have some
idea of how it is organized. Then you can use the people in the A. to know the people in the library B. to be sure to know something about a particular topic C. to have an idea of the organization of the library D. to know the size and effectiveness of the library
