B Reading Comprehension
2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The human tongue is about 10 centimeters long. It is covered with taste buds. These are tiny
nerve endings which enables us to taste our 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 1,000 taste. 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 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 sides 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 on the back of the tongue detect bitter tastes such as coffee.
There are no taste buds in the center of the tongue. The tongue is also used in speaking. Sounds
are made in the vocal cords in the throat. The combined action of the tongue, throat, mouth, and
lips changes the sounds into words.
