  1. Question 1

    What is this passage mostly about?

    From Tree to Syrup

    Maple syrup comes from the sap of maple trees. Sap is a clear, watery liquid that moves through a tree.

    In early spring, the nights are still freezing, but the days are warmer. This is when sap flows best. People drill a small hole in the tree's trunk and put in a spout called a tap. The sap drips out into a bucket or flows through a tube.

    Fresh sap is only a little bit sweet. It must be boiled for a long time so that most of the water goes away. It takes about 40 liters of sap to make just 1 liter of maple syrup!
