5) Read the following passage then answer the questions: (5 marks)
Today, most people put their cash into a bank account. Thousands of years ago, people did not use money at all. If they wanted to have something, they gave the owner something that belonged to them. Later, many different things were used as money in different parts of the world, including sharks' teeth. In time, people decided to use gold as money because everybody accepted it and it looked beautiful. The first gold coins were made in Lydia (now western Turkey). But gold was very heavy. The Chinese were the first people to make and use paper money. When the Italian explorer Marco Polo went to China in the thirteenth century, he was surprised to see people using paper money. Later, in Europe, people started to leave their gold in banks and paid for things with notes from their bank.
Today, people still use coins and banknotes, but there are many other ways of paying, including cheques, credit cards and online payments.

6) Read the following passage then answer the questions: (5 marks)
The human tongue is about 10 centimeters long. It is covered with taste buds. These are tiny nerve endings which enable us to taste food. Babies are born with taste buds all over their mouths. These gradually disappear as they grow older, leaving only those on the tongue. An adult has about 1000 taste buds.
We can taste our food when saliva, a liquid produced by the mouth, dissolves chemicals in the food and washes them over the taste buds. There are four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salt and bitter. All the taste buds can detect all these tastes to some extent, but different areas of the tongue detect different tastes best. Sweet tastes, such as sugar, are best detected by the taste buds at the tip of the tongue. Salt is detected by those at the front side of the tongue. The taste buds along the edges at the back of the tongue are good at detecting sour tastes, such as lemon, and those in the back of the tongue detect better tastes such as coffee. There are no taste buds in the center of the tongue.
A) Answer the following questions:
