V Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question Aspirin's origins go back at least as early as 1758 In that year, Englishman Edward Stone noticed a distinctive bitter flavor in the bark of the willow tree To Stone, this particular bark seemed to have much in common with "Peruvian Bark", which had been used medicinally since the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria Stone decided to test the effectiveness of the willow bark He obtained some, pulverized it into tiny pieces, and conducted experiments on its properties His tests demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains In 1763, Stone presented his findings to the British Royal Society
Several decades later, further studies in the medicinal value of the willow bark were being conducted by two Italian scientists These chemists, Brugnatelli and Fontana, determined that the active chemical that was responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was the chemical salicin, which is the active ingredient of today's aspirin
The name "aspirin" is the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin, properly known as acetylsalicylic acid The trade name "aspirin" was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the Bayer Drug Company in Germany The first bottles of aspirin actually went on sale to the public just prior to the turn of the century, in 1899

B was ineffective in treating malaria
C was described to the British Royal Society by Stone D was in use prior to aspirin

B body
C characteristics D materials
5 What did the willow bark look like after Stone prepared it for his experiments? A It was in large chunks
B It was a thick liquid C It was a rough powder D It was in strips of bark
6 The Italian chemists mentioned in the passage most probably conducted their studies on willow bark
A in the 1750s B in the 1760s C in the 1770s D in the 1780s
7 What is true about Brugnatelli and Fontana? A They were from America
B They added a chemical to the willow bark C They conducted studies on the willow bark D They were chemical doctors

B before C during D after
