 Exercise 1
The relationship of economics to history is rather
different from that of the other social sciences. Curious
as it may sound, this relationship in many respects
comes close to that between history and literature.
Economics, after all, is the science (in the broad
meaning of the term) of something which men actually
do. Even if the science did not exist, men would still
make economic decisions, economic predictions, and
participate in the various forms of economic
organization which, in part, it is the economists function
to describe. Similarly, the disciplined study of literature
is concerned with something which men would also do
anyway even if the disciplined study did not exist:
compose poems, act out dramas, write novels, and read
them. Political science, or the discipline of politics, has
it is true, many similarities to economics, particularly
where it is concerned with generalization about political
structures.

 Read the passage and answer the
questions below.
Prakash Hebber is a senior researcher at Masterfood,
USA. He is showing a chocolate fruit in the garden owned
by the Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, Maryland,
Thursday (16/8/2005). The US Government is campaigning
chocolate, which has so far been misperceived as having
a high content of cholesterol and not good for health.
However, in fact, chocolate is good for maintaining the
function of heart; thus it is no longer necessary to avoid
chocolate candies and brownies cakes. Chocolate fruit
contains the antioxidant compound called flavanol. Some
researchers have also showed that flavanol is also good
for blood vessels. The problem is that the compound
makes the chocolate taste bitter so that chocolate
producers spend years to remove the bitter taste.
