Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1850's an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860's, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year. Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890's, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870's, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920's and 1930's. Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare. Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Causes of food spoilage C. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet B. Commercial production of ice D. Population movements in the nineteenth century.

Toast has all the same calories as bread. Many diet plans call for a slice of dry toast with a meal. This slice of toast has the same 60 to 70 calories that a slice of bread has. Toasting removes only moisture. So if you are watching calories, eat your bread plain or toasted as you like it. Just don't add butter and jam. COFFEE or a cold shower can sober up a drunk. In fact these and other activities don't. A cold shower is useless. A full meal does no good. Food can slow down the speed that alcohol goes into the blood, but only if you eat and drink at the same time. Coffee can make a tipsy person seem more alert because of the caffeine, but the strongest coffee will not return his reflexes or sense of judgment. Two cups of coffee don't change a drinker into a safe driver. Drunkenness is caused by a lot of alcohol in the blood. You can do a little or nothing to make a person less drunk. So if you have a drunk that you want to sober up, drive him home and tell him to sleep for eight hours. 61. When does a person eat dry toast? A. When they are very hungry. B. When they are on a diet. C. When they are too fat. D. When they are having dinner. 62. What is the best help for a drunk person? A. Two cups of coffee. B. Eight hours of sleep. C. A cold shower. D. A glass of lemonade. 63. Eating food while you are drinking a lot ____. A. will make you more alert and give you better judgment. C. will make you feel drunk more quickly. B. will slow down the speed that alcohol enters your blood. D. will help make you not get drunk. 64. Caffeine makes a drunk person____, A. have faster reflexes. B. use better judgment. C. seem more alert. D. become well fast. PHẦN TỰ LUẬN (2 điểm) SENTENCE BUILDING; 1.

I am writing today to tell you about my greatest ever idol who has great influence on me. Everyone has his variety of acquaintances, friends, relatives, teachers, or partners among whom one may have the one that creates greatest ever impression on him. For me, I must say that my life would not have been as good as it is today if I did not meet Mr. Jimmy. It happened to me when I was a lower secondary student. I remember well that I was a very bad boy at that time. I always got bad marks for school subjects as well as I got fined daily. My teachers got very disappointed, my parents felt ashamed as I was very often PREPARED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, HUYỆN LẬP THẠCH, TỈNH VĨNH PHÚC TRANG 4/5 mentioned as a bad example at school. My classmates found ways to keep away from me. I felt so lonely and hopeless. Then Mr. Jimmy, my new Maths teacher appeared. After having had a talk with me and my parents, he agreed to be my private tutor. It was so strange that he did not teach me lessons right away, he made ways to be my friend instead. He spared time to get to know my difficulties, helped me to gain me confidence, let me believe in what I could do. Gradually, I realized what to do, how to do. He encouraged me when I felt tired, lonely or daunted. He gave me belief and strength to stand right on my own feet. Finally, I got to know the meaning of life. To tell the truth, I feel so happy to have a great teacher like Mr. Jimmy. I really hope that you will spare time to let me know about your idols in life. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Love, Tom. PREPARED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, HUYỆN LẬP THẠCH, TỈNH VĨNH PHÚC TRANG 5/5 .
