(四)閱讀測驗 Good news for chocoholics: the treat preferred by millions all over the world is good for you, according to American researchers at the University of California. Chocolate contains substances called flavonoids that can help maintain a healthy heart and good circulation. The researchers have discovered that cocoaacts like aspirin and that eating a bar of chocolate has also been shown to release endorphins in the body: these chemicals help to reduce pain and stress and make you feel happy. The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central America were the first to grow cocoa beans, in about 1500 BC, and the Mayas were drinking unsweetened coca hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe. In 1544, a delegation of Mayan nobles visited Philip of Spain and gave him jars of cocoa as a gift. Cocoa soon became fashionable in Spain and Portugal. The Spanish were the first to add sugar to their cocoa drink. By the middle of the century, solid chocolate was becoming familiar. In 1765, James Baker opened the first chocolate mill in the United States, introducing chocolate to the average citizen. In 1896, in Switzerland, Daniel Peter had the idea of adding milk in the chocolate-making process and produced the first milk chocolate. Since then, chocolate has grown enormously in popularity. One of the biggest chocolate-eating nations is Britain where the average man, women, and child eats nine kilos of chocolate a year. In fact, chocolate is the number one comfort food and there are more chocoholics in Britain than anywhere else in the world. Researchers warn that although chocolate is good for you, it should be eaten in small quantities—and with no added milk.

How many years ago were cocoa beans first grown? 

(可可豆在多少年前開始種植？)

(A) 510. 

(B) 1500. 

(C) 2010. 

(D) 3510. 

根據文章中，

The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central America were the first to grow cocoa beans, in about 1500 BC, and the Mayas were drinking unsweetened coca hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe.

(在大約西元前1500年前，墨西哥的Olmec印地安人及美國中部區域的人開始種植可可豆，且在歐洲成為流行之前，馬雅人已飲用無糖可可數百年了。)

所以最初開始種植是西元前1500年前。

考試在2010年測驗的話，必須1500 + 2010，

所以如同樓上摩友所寫是距離現今3510年前...
