the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Food preservation, the method by which food is kept from spoilage after harvest or
slaughter, has been used by human for a long time.
Tin cans were first used in the early 1800s to store and preserve food. Just as they are now,
the cans were tin-plated, steel containers and the process had the advantage of being cost
effective. Unfortunately, however, there were many early cases of food-poisoning because the
canning process was not fully understood at that stage. We now know the exact temperature and
length of time each food needs for proper preservation which has greatly reduced the risk of food-
poisoning.
People living in cold climates often preserved food by burying it in the snow and the
Romans knew all about the advantages of packing food in ice but for most people this was not an

option until the invention of the refrigerator in 1834. Today, however, refrigeration is the most
important means of preserving food because the food stays fresh without needing to be treated.
However, refrigeration requires an electricity supply and unfortunately if the power goes off, so
does the food.
A variety of chemicals can be added to food and you’ll find their names listed on the labels
of cans and bottles. Salt is probably the oldest of all the chemical preservatives and was used by
many ancient civilisations for many years. Sugar also acts as a preservative and is used to preserve
jams in much the same way that vinegar is used to pickle foods. Chemical preservatives are
effective but they do not suit all foods and the processes involved are time- consuming.
Another method of preserving food is by drying it. Most foods are 75% to 90% water so if
you remove the water the micro-organisms simply can’t survive. When food is dried it not only
lasts a long time but it also becomes much lighter which is a big advantage as this makes it cheap
to store, though some people argue that valuable nutrients are lost in the process.

A. Some methods for food preservation. B. Chemical preservatives for food storage.
C. Ancient methods for food preservation. D. Methods to make the food taste better.

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 following questions.
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face are the
most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. It is estimated that
there are over 200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For
example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and
postures. Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because
such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are
unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed with
friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status or liking
of the other individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or
reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict
each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.
Question 37. Which part of body is NOT used to send body message?
A. stomachs B. legs C. hands D. faces
