Read the text and tick the sentences below true (T) or false (F).(4 x 2 = 8 points)All About Garlic

Garlic was first found in Asia about 4,000 years ago and eventually it spread all over the world. It was often used in cooking to make food taste better; however, people believed that it had other benefits, as well. Some people thought the strong smell protected them from evil. So, for example, people in the Balkans put garlic on their doors and windows to protect their families from witches and to keep thieves away from their cows. Many European fishermen wore garlic to protect themselves from danger while out at sea.

Through the ages, people have also used garlic to treat and prevent disease. The Romans used it to treat dog bites and to keep scorpions away. Later on, in the Middle Ages, people used garlic to try to cure themselves from the plague. Centuries later, in 1858, the famous French scientist, Louis Pasteur proved that garlic kills germs. This explains why during World War II, British doctors used garlic to clean soldiers wounds when they didnt have any medicine. Garlic is also used to help sore teeth, and mixed with honey, garlic can take the pain away from sore muscles.

Today, scientists understand much more about garlic than before. They know how uncooked garlic helps cure infections, and which types of bacteria it can kill. Its no wonder that garlic has been so popular throughout history! Now we also know that garlic contains vitamins A, B, C and when its cooked, garlic is good for the heart. So, next time your parents go to the supermarket, ask them to add garlic to their shopping list!
