PASSAGE 1:

For thousands of years, people have tried to find ways to keep food for longer.

Today there are still many places without electricity and people living in these places need to preserve food in ways that don’t use refrigerators, They need to make food last as long as possible.

Drying is the oldest type of food preservation. If water is removed from food, the bacteria can’t grow. In ancient times in hot countries, people simply left fruit and meat outside to dry in the sun and the wind until all its natural water was gone. This made the fruit last a very long time.

PASSAGE 2:

One single person cannot be named as the one responsible for the invention of the cinema. In fact, Lots of people played a part in the development of the cinema. A man called Muybridge made the first moving picture in 1878. It was a film of a horse running and it was only a few seconds long. By 1895, other people had invented various machines for showing moving pictures, but many of these could only be watched by one person at a time. The development of machines that could project films onto a screen was important. Thomas Edison was one of the first to show very short films to audiences of 20 or more people. His films showed acrobats performing, or everyday events like a man eating!

At first, films were only a few minutes long. They were black and white and silent. They were usually documentaries about different places or news events, or comedies showing people falling over and making funny faces. Later they became longer stories, but there was still no sound. Instead, there might be a musician playing a piano in the hall while the film was shown.

Musicals were probably the most popular kind of film throughout the 1930s and 1940s. A very famous actress and singer at that time was Shirley Temple—she was a five-year-old girl everyone loved watching perform on stage.
