Directions: Read the text carefully. Then, answer the questions that follow.

Having friends is common for everyone. But according to Aristotle, the friends we
meet in life may be classified into three different types – friends for a reason, friends for
a season, and friends for life. The first type of friends, friends for a reason, are those who
are friends with you because you are useful to them and they are useful to you. For
example, you might be friends with a schoolmate because he may let you copy his
assignment, and you give him food for recess in exchange. It is like a give and take
relationship, but the friendships are quite shallow. Aristotle classes this friendship as a
selfish one.

The second type of friends, friends for a season, come together because both enjoy
doing the same things together. They are your “activity buddies” – people you enjoy
playing with or having a short chat with. They are there to have fun with you and make
you feel good. Also known as friendships of pleasures, this type of friendships is short-
lived. When you move and live in a different place or change interests and hobbies, the
friendship ends.

Finally, the third type of friends, friends for life, are those who stands by you and
supports you in all you do. They will be there for you – whether you are happy, sad, or
having a bad time. They will not always agree with you because they will always tell you
truth. They are your best friends and true friends. This kind of friendship is formed
slowly over time and sometimes hard to find. Aristotle calls it “friendship of the good”
because neither time nor distance can break this kind of friendship apart.

Why Do We Get “Brain Freeze”?

“Brain Freeze” is that sharp, short-lasting headache one gets when eating or
drinking something very cold like an ice cream or shakes on a hot day. Also known as
“ice cream headache” or “frozen brain syndrome,” brain freeze affects about one-third of
the population and does not occur during cool weather.

The pain occurs when the brain’s blood vessels dilate. The dilation is likely the
result of the stimulation of a nerve center, located above the roof of your mouth,
reaching to the cold stimulus. The nerve center overacts, causing the pain. You can
enjoy a tasty ice cream treat, but you should try to keep it away from your mouth.

All chocolate comes from the cocoa tree. Cocoa trees only grow in a small number of
countries that are near the equator. Cocoa Trees grow fruit (pods) that hold seeds (cocoa
beans). The trees are grown by farmers. Cocoa beans are what the chocolate we eat is
made from.

When pods that grow on the trees become ripe, they are removed. Then, the pods are
fermented and dried. After that they are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate
maker starts processing by roasting the beans to bring out the flavor. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavor. So, they are often shorted and
blended to produce a distinctive mix.

The next process is sorting or winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove
the shells from the beans. The roasted beans without a shell are called nibs. Then, the
nibs are blended. The blended nibs are grounded to make it liquid. The liquid is called
chocolate liquor. It is very bitter as it does not yet have any cocoa butter or sugar. This is
the base ingredient for all chocolate recipes.

Finally, the chocolate recipe blended together in a process called conching - heavy
mixing and airing, so any bad flavors, bitterness, and water evaporate, and smooth
texture is made. After conching, the chocolate is then tempered, which is a fancy word
for making the chocolate hard and shiny.
