Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Chocolates make the best gifts and there is a whole industry that is churning out these
goodies exclusively for you. But where did chocolate originate from? We'll give you
the answers. The botanical name of the cocoa tree, from which chocolate is made, is
Theobroma Cacao. The first word in Greek for 'food of the Gods' Depending on whom
you believe, this seductive, substance is an effective mood lifter and good for the heart
or the heaier of spots, migraine, obesity and stressed-out nerves.
Now, we learn that chocolate has been around for a lot longer than it was previously
thought. Traces of it have been found in pots discovered in Mayan graves in Mexico,
some of which date back to 600 BC, which pushes back the earliest chemical evidence
of chocolate by more than 1000 years. Chocolate is made from the seeds or 'beans of
the cocoa tree-the leathery cocoa pod contains upto 100 beans. Aztecs in Mexico and
Mayans in Belize worshipped the tree and used its beans as a form of currency. They
also hit upon the idea of crushing the beans, boiling them in water, then adding spices
and drinking the resulting hot, frothy liquid. In the 16th century, Spaniards who lande
in Mexico wrote of how the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma drank chocolate 'from pur
gold cups with great reverence.'
