But chocolate actually dates back to the ancient peoples of Mesoamerica who enjoyed it as a bitter drink. The tasty secret of the cacao tree, which chocolate is made from, was discovered 2,000 years ago in the tropical rainforests of the Americas. The first people who made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. These people, including the Maya and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various spices to make a hot, bitter drink. The drink was considered so precious that it was initially intended only for the most important people in society: rulers, priests, decorated soldiers and honoured merchants. Chocolate also played a special role in both Maya and Aztec royal and religious events: priests presented cacao seeds as offerings to the gods and served chocolate drinks during sacred ceremonies. Europe’s first contact with chocolate came during the conquest of Mexico in 1521. The Spanish recognised the value attached to cacao and followed the Aztec custom of drinking chocolate. Soon afterwards, the Spanish began to transport cacao seeds back home. Slowly they started adding cinnamon and other spices to it and began sweetening it with sugar. They managed to keep their delicious drink a Spanish secret for almost 100 years before the rest of Europe discovered what they were missing. Sweetened chocolate soon became extremely popular. Because cacao and sugar were expensive imports, only those with money could afford to drink chocolate. In fact, in France, chocolate was a state monopoly that could be consumed only by the aristocracy. Like the Maya and the Aztecs, Europeans developed their own special protocol for the drinking of chocolate. They even designed special porcelain and silver serving sets for chocolate that acted as symbols of wealth and power. For centuries, chocolate remained a handmade luxury, drunk only by society’s upper classes. But by the 1800s, mass production had made it affordable to a much broader public: the steam engine made it possible to grind cacao and to produce large amounts of chocolate cheaply and quickly. Later inventions like the cocoa press made it possible to create smooth, creamy, solid chocolate for eating—not just liquid chocolate for drinking. New processes and machinery have improved the quality of chocolate and the speed at which it can be produced. However, cacao farming itself remains basically unchanged. People grow cacao in equatorial climates all around the world today using traditional techniques first developed in Mesoamerica: cacao is still harvested, fermented, dried, cleaned, and roasted mostly by hand. Today, additional steps in the processing of cacao have helped to create a variety of new flavours and forms. One thing has not changed, though: chocolate still remains people’s favourite sweet. As someone nicely put it: ‘I could give up chocolate but I’m not a quitter’.Adapted from www.fieldmuseum.org1. Chocolate was discovered ...............................

Приклад запитання: Tasks 1-4Read the text about cooperation with publishers. For each question (1-4) choose the correct answer (A-D) according to the text. Tom sat on the sofa in his living room. In front of him lay an open parcel containing several books. He reached for the copy on the top. Tales of Scorched Lands by Tom Grant, it read on the cover. He looked at it again and again as if he could not believe he’d really got his first book published. A surge of pride, however, quickly gave way to some doubts: how will it be received by the readers? Will they like it? Will it sell at all? He started browsing through the pages. Here and there, he noticed the changes that he had had to make to the original text based on the editor’s feedback, which at first he had found a bit hard to accept. As he was looking through the book, he recalled how it had all begun.Back in secondary school, he started going to fantasy conventions, where fantasy fans gather to take part in storytelling games. His talent for getting people to listen to him and an intuitive knowledge of what makes a good story soon earned him the number one place among the storytellers at those events. It also meant a lot of work, though. Before each convention, he would spend hours making up the plot of a new game, writing and rewriting the details to create a credible story. It was during one of the storytelling sessions at a convention that he was spotted by a reporter from a popular fantasy magazine. The reporter suggested that Tom should consider compiling his stories into a book and promised to put him in touch with a publishing agent. From then on, Tom’s writing career took off rapidly.Shortly afterwards, Tom was contacted by the agent who asked him to submit a sample of his work. A book proposal, Tom was told, would not be necessary in that case because of the reporter’s recommendations. The agent must have seen some potential in Tom’s story because it was passed on to a publisher and Tom was offered a contract.Like many other authors, Tom had to introduce some changes to his work that the publisher required. Unlike many first-time authors, though, he didn’t have to send countless letters to agents and feel frustrated with getting rejected over and over again. He was not so arrogant as to think that there were no other aspiring writers with ideas at least as good as his own. But now by a piece of luck as well as thanks to his talent and hard work he had managed to get his book published.1. When he was looking at the copy of his book, Tom mainly felt
