People have always had to find ways to keep food safe to eat. Methods to dry, smoke and salt food were invented thousands of years ago. The process of canning is much more recent. This storage method keeps food safe to eat for long periods of time. Today, canning is one of the most popular methods of storing food.
Canning uses heat to kill bacteria and other micro-organisms that cause poisons to form in food. Canning also takes away the air that these organisms need to live. One popular method of canning uses a water bath.
Clean fruits or vegetables are placed in glass bottles. The food can be put into the bottles either hot or cold. The cold method is used for soft fruits and vegetables that could lose their shape or taste. Firmer fruits and most vegetables are usually cooked. They take up less space in the bottles. After the food has been placed in glass bottles, boiling water is poured into the bottles to about three centimeters below the top. Then covers are placed on the bottles, but are not turned all the way. The bottles are placed in a large container filled with warm water that is then brought to a boil. The water must completely cover the bottles, from three to five centimeters over the top. When the water boils, any air in the bottles will be expelled. The boiling continues for several minutes. Then the bottles are allowed to cool. Finally, they are placed briefly into cold water. This makes a strong barrier to keep the air out. In other words, a vacuum is created. When the bottles are completely cool, notes can be placed on them to identify what is inside. The bottles can then be stored in a cool, dark place at a temperature of between four and twenty-one degrees Celsius.
Canning allows your family to enjoy foods that might not come fresh throughout the year. It is also a good way to store food for six months to a year, or even several years, in case of an emergency. It does not cost much to continue canning every year once the equipment has been purchased.
You can get more information about canning food from the group, Volunteers in Technical Assistance. VITA is on the Internet at vita.org.

“Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped outside the house. There was full of thick smoke.
I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.
I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.
She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.

Teenagers’ secrets should be kept to themselves and no one else, their parents included, has the right to stick their nose into their private life.
As we know, teenagers are going through a special period of development both physically and psychologically. They are curious about and puzzled by the unexpected changes in their body and mind. What’s more, exposed to a world of adults, it is only too natural for them to begin imitating adults’ behaviors in secret. Boys begin to smoke and girls begin to spend time doing their hair and care more about what to wear. Some even begin to date with a girlfriend or boyfriend without letting their parents know. They are doing all this in secret because they are still unsure whether it is right to do so and afraid that, if found out by their parent, they will get misunderstood and even punished. In fact, in many cases, parents can not deal with such matters well but hurt their children’s feelings badly, making children unwilling to communicate with them any more. When this happens, it hurts terribly feelings of the family as well. Therefore, it sounds reasonable and acceptable that teenagers should keep their secrets to themselves instead of sharing them with their parents, who should give them the freedom in dealing with secrets.

以下是有关吸烟问题的观点：

A． Smoking is sure to cause diseases. Just have a look at those people with diseases in hospital and count how many of them do not smoke; you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.
B．We have to admit that the tobacco industry contributes a lot to many countries' economies. It also creates job opportunities. But it's harmful to people in the long run. It's a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.
C．Non-smokers absorb nicotine and other harmful chemicals just as smokers do. This is an especially bad situation for children — some of them absolutely have no choice but to be passive smokers and to have lungs that are not as healthy as a normal child's.
D． Despite all the strict laws against smoking, the statistics have shown that more young people are lighting up. While it was absolutely a taboo (禁忌) for a woman to smoke before, now it's quite common to see young girls smoking. Many even walk around with a lighted cigarette in one hand.
E. However, smokers may feel a certain amount of pressure. On the one hand, they might feel guilty about the amount of money they spend on cigarettes each month, which could have been put to much better use, but on the other hand, they may also feel non-smokers should be more tolerant of them.
F.    Smoking can provide constant consolation. When people feel worried or nervous, they just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right After a day's hard work, what they want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than drinking a cup of coffee.
以下是个人对吸烟的认识，请匹配个人的认识与相应的观点。
56．Christopher: As a matter of fact, smokers are under a great deal of pressure, not only because they spend so much money on cigarettes but also because they don' t think people around them are tolerant enough of them.
57．Amanda: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial(支气管的) troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, you are certainly deceiving your­self.
58．Harrison: Smoking brings some psychological benefits. Most smokers feel it's enjoyable and that it can relieve daily stress. So why must we ban it and take away a lot of people' s pleasure?
59．Brandon: Forbidden fruits always taste sweetest. That is to say, the stricter the laws against smoking are, the more people want to smoke. What worries me is that more young people are beginning to smoke.
60．Douglas: If there were some ways to stop a smoker from affecting others, I wouldn't object to smoking! Secondhand smoke does great harm to non-smokers, especially to children, who are much more sensitive than adults.
