o you like chocolate?
It’s popular all over
the world, but why?
Scientists have been trying
to discover its secrets.
The main thing is that
chocolate makes us happy.
This may
have something
to do with
the 380 known
chemicals found in it. The
problem is that many of
these chemicals appear in
other types of food too. So,
it’s difficult to know why
the ones in chocolate make
us feel good. But we aren’t
all
lost.
Adam Drewnowski
at the University of
Michigan found that
chocolate makes the human
brain
produce natural
opiates,
called optoids.
These can stop pain and make us feel good.
Others think that we fell good after eating chocolate because of a chemical
called anandamide. This occurs naturally in the brain and seems to give us
a feeling of happiness. Normally, our levels of anandamide are very low and
our body uses it quickly. But two scientists, Emmanuelle di Tomaso of Harvard
University and Daniele Piomelli of the University of California believe that the
anandamide in chocolate
raises
levels of the chemical in our brain. And other
substances in chocolate
slow down
the speed at which we use the chemical.
So, chocolate helps us feel happier for longer! Great!
But which chocolate is the best? Well, for a start, there’s
more anandamide in dark chocolate than milk chocolate.
So, you need to buy some dark chocolate. Then, you
should follow these five
tips
from connoisseur chocolate
makers Ghirardelli. They say that when choosing
chocolate, you need to use all five senses:
1.
Sight:
good chocolate has
a
shine
to it.
2.
Smell:
rub the chocolate with your
finger to release the aroma. It should
have a
deep
chocolate smell.
3.
Sound:
when you break a piece of chocolate it
should
snap crisply,
creating a sound similar to
that of a thin piece of wood being broken.
4.
Touch:
the chocolate should
melt
easily in your
mouth becoming a
thick
liquid.
5.
Taste:
good chocolate should not taste too
sweet
or too
bitter.
So, why don’t you go out and buy some chocolate and
put it to the test!

Look at this extract from the article,
“...that the
anandamide in chocolate raises levels of the
chemical in our brain.”
The writer has used the verb
to raise.
This verb is a transitive verb (it requires an object).
However,
to rise
is an intransitive verb (it doesn’t require
an object). Complete the following sentences with a
