Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it, and that
the easiest way to do this was to expose the food to sun and wind, In this way the North American
Indians produced pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians
made stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and “apricot leather”.
All foods contain water – cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water,
potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60%
depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to
bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in
California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used carry, but in general the fruit is spread out
on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are
exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making prunes, and certain
varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack
the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying.
Nowadays most of foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such dehydration is
to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 1100C at entry to
about 450C at exit. This is usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated
horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air
passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken
up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the
chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup,
the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans of frozen, and
they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers,
explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives
because it takes so little time to cook them.
From Practical Faster Reading by Gerald Mosback and Vivien Mosback, CUP

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42
Some cities are located by chance. A wagon breaks down, the driver spends some time in repairs,
finds that he is in a congenial spot, and settles down. Later another person builds a house near his,
and later someone adds an inn. Someone else starts selling farm produce there. Soon there is a little
market, which grows to a town, and later to a city.
Other places were destined by nature to become cities. London, for example, is on what is called
the head of navigation - the point where it becomes too difficult for ocean-going ships to continue
upriver, and must transfer their cargoes. As with London, the head of navigation is also the point
where the river can be conveniently bridged. In fact, the location of a bridge is often the reason for
the birth of a town - as Cambridge or Weybridge in England show. Again, a good harbour will
generally lead to a city growing up about it. New York and San Francisco began life as ports, as did
Cape Town in South Africa.
Some places were created mainly for military purposes, such as Milan, and the host of English
cities finishing with - cester, which is derived from castra which means camp in Latin. Chester itself,
created to guard the Welsh border, is a very good example. Other such military bases are Manchester,
Doncaster, and of course, Newcastle.
A few cites are not created by accident, but by intention. This was the case with Milton Keynes in
England, but the most famous examples of such cities are capitals. Brasilia, Canberra and Washington
are capitals created in modern times, but even their greatest admirers will admit that they lack a
certain character. It is no co-incidence that there are famous pop songs about New York, ("New York,
New York") Chicago ("My kind of Town") San Francisco ("Going to San Francisco") and many other
US cities, but none about the nation's capital. On the other hand any Londoner can give you at least
three songs about the place.
