KETCHUP
The sauce that is today called ketchup in Western cultures is a tomato-based sauce that is quite distinct from the Eastern ancestors of this product. A sauce called ke-tiap was in use in China at least as early as the 17th century, but the Chinese version of the sauce as made of pickled fish, shellfish, and spices. The popularity of this Chinese sauce spread to Singapore and Malaysia, where it was called kechap. (56) _____ It is made by cooking black soy beans, fermenting them, placing them in a salt brine for at least a week, cooking the resulting solution further, and sweetening it heavily; this process results in a dark, thick, and sweet variation of soy sauce.
 Early in the eighteenth century, sailors from the British navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages. English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable to do so exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England. They ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the original Asian sauce. (57) _____ 
 The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end of the 18th century that tomatoes became a main ingredient, in the ketchup of the newly created United States. (58) _____ The tomato had been cultivated by the Aztecs, who had called to tomatl; however, early botanists had recognized that the tomato was a member of the Solanacaea family, which does include a number of poisonous plants. The leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not.
 Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receives credit for changing the reputation of the tomato. Soon after Jefferson had introduced the tomato to American society, recipes combining the newly fashionable tomato with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchup began to appear. (59) _____ 
 Tomato ketchup, popular though it was, was quite time-consuming to prepare. In 1876, the first mass-produced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heinz, went on sale and achieved immediate success. From tomato ketchup, Heinz branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces, pickles, and relishes. (60) _____ Heinz settled on the slogan 57 Varieties because he liked the way that the digits 5 and 7 looked in print, in spite of the fact that this slogan understated the number of products that he had at the time.
The missing sentences:
By the middle of the nineteenth century, both the tomato and tomato ketchup were staples of the American kitchen.
Since tomato-growing season was short, makers of ketchup had to solve the problem of preserving tomato pulp year round.
It is quite notable that tomatoes were added to the sauce in that tomatoes had previously been considered quite dangerous to health.
The Indonesian sauce ketjab derives its name from the same source as the Malaysian sauce but is made from very different ingredients.
Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in eighteenth-century England, appearing in a number of recipe books and featured as an exotic addition to menus from the period.
By 1890, his company had expanded to include sixty-five different products but was in need of a marketing slogan.
Part 3. You are going to read an article about sharks. Choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) which fits best according to the article. (0,5 point)
Until now, it was thought that sharks usually swam alone, only gathering together by chance when they were following the scent of the same prey. Partly this was because sharks travel over such huge distances in the vast ocean. Whereas flocks of sheep or herds of cows are easy to see, the members of a group of sharks may be many kilometers apart at any one time, making it difficult to see them as part of the same group. Now, researchers have managed to track sharks as they swim far and wide across the ocean. It turns out that the same sharks regularly visit the same areas, perhaps indicating that they may belong to a social group.
In previous studies, sharks were fitted with devices that transmitted signals to a stationary receiver in the sea. But sharks are explorers and often moved out of range of the motionless receiver, causing the signal to be lost. To solve this problem, the scientists equipped their subjects with both a transmitting and a receiving device. Since the sharks swam close together, the transmitters and receivers were always within close enough range of each other for the researchers to be able to find the signal.
However, more studies need to be carried out before we can conclude that sharks are indeed social animals. Just remaining close to each other does not automatically mean that they form social groups. It may be that they are simply attracted to specific areas where prey is available and the temperature is high enough. Nevertheless, the new research appears to be a step towards understanding this aspect of shark behavior.
What does this refer to in the second sentence of the first paragraph?
the frequency with which sharks gather
the way sharks hunt using their sense of smell
the belief that sharks do not live in groups
the huge size of sharks’ ocean habitat
What have researchers realized about sharks recently?
Sharks are solitary hunters.
Sharks travel in flocks.
Sharks can be tracked.
Sharks belong to social groups.
According to the text, what is one thing that defines a social group?
The group is easy to see without special equipment.
The group members often go to the same areas. 
Members of the group always travel together. 
Social groups are easy to follow when they travel.
What was the problem with previous attempts to study sharks?
The sharks often did not stay close enough to the receivers.
The sharks stayed too close together to reveal any patterns.
The sharks destroyed the transmitting devices on their bodies.
The sharks tended not to swim far away when wearing devices.
According to the text, what new method did the scientists use?
They used floating receivers.
They explored new areas.
They stayed close to the sharks.
They also put receivers on the sharks.
