The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the label: “Store in the refrigerator.”
In my fridge-less fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余的)bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.
The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking,salting, sugaring, bottling ...
What refrigeration did promote was marketing -- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price.
Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
The fridges’ effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may not eat the hamburgers, but at least you’ll get rid of that terrible hum.

D.the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s

A.Because people would not buy more food than was necessary.
B.Because food was delivered to people two or three times a week.
C.Because food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.
D.Because people had effective ways to preserve their food.
3.Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?
A.Inventors. B.Consumers. C.Manufacturers. D.Travelling salesmen.

Of course you do not want to spend your vacation sick in bed. So what can you do to stay in good health when traveling? There are some tips you should remember when you travel: relax, sleep and eat well.
A vacation should be a time for relaxing but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you travel. There are so many places to visit: museums, shops, parks… You may spend most days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice and quiet place.
Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy or the bed may be uncomfortable. You may not get enough sleep for other reasons. You may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra(額外的)hour can make a big difference.
At last, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right food. Your body needs fresh fruit and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese.
So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat good, healthy food.
