The sides of the box are covered with pieces of thick cloth.

    Containers of water are placed at the top and bottom of the cooler. The ends of each piece of cloth lie in the water so the cloth stays wet.

    The cooler is put outdoors, but not in the sun. Air will pass through the wet cloth. The inside of the box will stay several degrees cooler than the outside air temperature. And this may be cool enough to keep foods fresh, at least for a short time.

    Some foods can make you sick if they are stored in conditions that are not cold enough to prevent the growth of harmful organisms（微生物）. Freezing can keep some foods in good condition for months after the growing season, ____________________ if they are kept too cold.

    Wet the fruits and vegetables so they do not become too dry. The best time to do this is before storage. Cover the items in plastic once they reach the right "critical temperature" for storage. Most fruits and vegetables need the relative humidity（湿度）in Storage to be kept between eighty-five and ninety-five percent.
