Can you imagine working on a scientific experiment (实验) for nearly fifteen years That’s what Nicolas Appert, a French cook, did.
At that time, nobody knew exactly why food went bad. The bacteria (细菌) that make food go bad hadn’t been discovered yet. Food was dried or salted, but the methods influenced the food’s taste didn’t always work. So Appert decided to invent a better way to store food.
Appert believed high temperatures might help, so he ran test after test. He experimented with soups, fruits and other foods. All that hard work finally paid off. He discovered a way that worked!
▲ First, he put food in a glass bottle (瓶子). Then he closed the bottle with a cork (木塞). He crossed two wires (金属线) over the top to hold the cork. Finally, he put the bottle in boiling water.
Later, to run his business, Appert asked the government for money. They said they would — if Appert shared his method with everyone. Appert agreed and wrote a cookbook in 1810. Thousands of copies were printed. It was quite a hit.
Then vegetables and fruits picked in summer could be stored for the winter. Travelers could be able to take the bottles on long trips. Four years later, Appert replaced glass bottles with tin cans (锡罐).
Thanks to Appert’s years of experiments, we still keep canned food now.

One cool autumn morning, Eric met his new roommate, Wei Ning, a Chinese student.

【56题答案】
【答案】
How I deal with negative emotions
We all experience negative emotions. For me, it often happens when I have an argument with my parents or do badly in exams.
It’s necessary to deal with them because they can influence my daily life and relationships. When feeling down, I usually go for a run. The fresh air and physical activity make me feel better.
When I’m dealing with these bad feelings, I’m also learning to be more hopeful. I know that problems are normal and I should be brave to face them. Instead of complaining, I try to find solutions. It helps me grow into a more positive person.
