Matching Headings to Paragraphs
All the texts are connected by a common theme and are all written in the same style, but each one is independent of the others. Read each heading and underline the key words. Read the texts quickly and underline the key words in them too. Think about the general meaning of each text. Then try to match the headings to the texts. Remember that the extra heading is there to catch you out.
7. a) Read the first paragraph. Look closely at the underlined words. Which of the sentences below best summarises the paragraph?
a This paragraph tells us how popular coffee is compared to tea.
b This paragraph tells us how horrible coffee used to be.
c This paragraph tells us how stylish coffee has become.
b) Now look at the headings 1-8 and choose the one that best matches the summary.
8. Read the texts and match each text (A-G) with its heading (1-8). You can only use each heading once. There is one extra heading.
1 Myth and reality
2 A piece of advice
3 Hard to swallow
4 The perfect cup
5 In search of flavour
6 A long history
7 Wide-ranging tastes
8 The height of fashion
A Coffee, the most popular hot drink in the world except for tea, has never been so trendy. The coffee shop is no longer a small dark place to buy a cheap beverage. It is a cafe, with all the meaning of the French word: sophistication, high culture and gastronomic glamour. TV shows even have professionals competing like chefs to produce the perfect cup of coffee.
B Creating a great cup of coffee is a combination of many things. The machine, the roast and how fine the coffee is are all important. But it all starts with the beans. One of the top jobs in the industry is taster, and the top tasters travel the world looking for new beans. The arrival of a brand new coffee is big news in coffee circles.
C The exact origins of coffee are not known. Most of the theories are no more than folk tales. Both the stories of the Ethiopian goatherd Kaldi and the Arabian healer Sheikh Omar are almost certainly invented. All we know for sure is that the plant came from East Africa, and probably Ethiopia. It is possible that the idea for roasting the beans came from Yemen.
D Though almost all of the world's coffee comes from two species of coffee plant - arabica and robusta - the different climates it is grown in and the various ways it is prepared means the varieties of coffee are nearly endless. It is also hard to talk about better or worse coffee, since no two drinkers prefer it the same way.
E Coffee entered Europe through Italy, where it was immensely popular. Soon there were coffee houses everywhere. England's thriving scene included the Queen's Lane Coffee House, which opened in 1654 in Oxford and still serves coffee today. The popularity of tea saw many of the others close, though recent years have seen the trend reversed.
F When taking up coffee making as a hobby, it is easy to become confused. There are hundreds of different machines, a thousand different beans and a million experts all saying they know best. An enthusiast would be wise to take things slowly and enjoy the journey. It is a road without end, since the 'perfect' coffee does not exist.
G Perhaps what puts coffee enthusiasts off the most is instant coffee. Their second enemy is decaffeinated coffee. They say that industrial processes destroy the delicate flavour of the coffee bean. In fact, they won't allow these beverages to pass their lips!
