六：閱讀測驗：10%［1］ In May 2011 the drink Coca-Cola turned 125 years old! Coca-Cola is sold in over 200 countries world wide and enjoyed by billions. But it wasn't made to be a refreshing, sweet drink. Instead, Coca-Cola was made to be medicine.On May 8th, 1886, John Pemberton worked in his backyard trying to make another drink that would help people. He had already invented several products and wanted to make one that would help people who were tired, had headaches, or were nervous. He made it in his backyard with a large brass kettle, a fire, and stirred it with a boat oar. When he was finished, he went to Jacobs Pharmacy in Atlanta Georgia and asked the assistant to mix his mixture with water and chill it with ice. When they tasted it, they thought it was really good. The assistant made another glass, but this time used carbonated water instead. It was even better! Mr. Pemberton changed his mind. Instead of medicine, he started to sell his invention as a fountain drink. He named the drink Coca-Cola for the coco leaves and the cola nuts he used.Today, the Coca-Cola Company has grown much larger than one man working in his backyard and is still based in Atlanta, Georgia. Thanks to one accident, people enjoy Coca-Cola all over the world. So, accidents can sometimes be a very good thing and we are lucky that Mr. Pemberton recognized what he had made.

(A) Dry skin.
