A The teabag The teabag is over 100 years old but not everyone is celebrating A time-consuming ritual has been transformed by the little paper packet into a five-minute break, and it has saved the tea industry by fulfilling the modern need for convenience and speed Like many inventions, the teabag came about by accident Struggling to cut costs, Thomas Sullivan, a New York coffee merchant who turned to tea, sent out samples of poor quality tea in small silk sachets rather than as good quality loose tea His customers failed to realise that they were supposed to cut open the sachet and empty its contents into a pot The result was an immediate hit with American tea drinkers It was viewed with suspicion by British drinkers at first and only took off in the 1960s B Potato crisps George Crum reportedly created the potato crisp in 1853 near Saratoga Springs, New York Fed up with a customer who continuously sent his fried potatoes back, saying that they were soggy and not crunchy enough, Crum sliced the potatoes as thinly as possible, fried them in hot grease, then sprinkled them with salt Eventually, the crisps were mass-produced, but since they were kept in barrels or tins, they quickly went stale Then, in the 1920s, Laura Scudder invented the airtight bag by ironing together two pieces of waxed paper, thus keeping the crisps fresh longer Today, potato crisps are packaged in plastic or foil bags C Post-it Notes In 1968, Spencer Silver from the company 3M attempted to make ordinary sticky tape, which was in use all over the world, even stickier During an experiment, the researcher made a thick substance which did not sink into surfaces and could be removed with ease However, no one at 3M was interested in the substance because it didn't stick Sometime later, Spencer's colleague remembered the not-so-sticky substance This man sang in a choir in his spare time He had a problem knowing where in the book the various songs were He managed to solve this problem with the help of the sticky substance invented by his colleague: the substance helped stick bookmarks in the song book without spoiling the pages Post-it Notes were first sold in 1980 Đề thi gồm 11 trang Trang 7/11 D Velcro The Velcro fastener was invented in 1941 by George de Mestral, a Swiss engineer He noticed that flower seed heads (burrs) kept sticking to his clothes when he was walking in the Alps He decided to devise a unique fastener that duplicated the burrs' tiny hooks Although de Mestral first met with resistance and even laughter, he stuck to his idea After many experiments, he realised that nylon, when sewn under infra-red light, formed tiny but tough hooks, which easily attached themselves to softer, velvety nylon fabric Velcro became a revolutionary fastening system which never goes wrong and is both simple and strong It is still being used with great success today E The shopping cart Silvan Goldman invented the first shopping cart in 1936 when he saw his customers were reluctant to purchase a large number of groceries at any one time at his store because they were too heavy to carry Once, Goldman saw a customer putting her bag with groceries on a toy machine that her son was pulling with a string He came to the conclusion that he needed to fix small wheels to an ordinary shopping basket Later, Goldman created the first modern shopping cart with the help of mechanical engineers They were first manufactured in 1947 F Penicillin Sir Alexander Fleming, a British biologist, was researching a strain of bacteria in 1928, and noticed that one of the glass culture dishes that had accidentally been left near an open window had become contaminated with a fungus He noticed that the fungus was destroying the bacteria When he first published his findings, Fleming didn't think anyone would be very interested because the fungus (penicillin) was difficult to cultivate and slow-acting It wasn't until 1945 that penicillin was able to be produced on an industrial scale, changing the way doctors treated bacterial infections forever Section (0,6pt) You are going to read a newspaper article about the taste of food Seven sentences have been removed from the article Choose from the sentences A–H the one which fits each gap (0–30) There is one extra sentence which you not need to use An example is done at the beginning of this article (0) Write your answer on YOUR ANSWER part HOW SOUND AND COLOUR INFLUENCE THE TASTE OF FOOD The sound diners hear while they are eating food can change the way they think it tastes, scientists have discovered In fact, 0. _| Food manufacturers are now hoping to exploit the findings in an attempt to making their foods more appealing Previously it was thought that the sense of taste and smell were the only human senses that played a role in experiencing flavour Professor Charles Spence, a sensory psychologist at Oxford University, is a leading expert in his field 25. _| For example, listening to waves hitting the sea shore can make diners detect seafood flavours, while the sound of chickens clucking brings out the taste of eggs Professor Spence has also discovered that simply changing the colour of a food can influence tire way it tastes 26. _| He said: 'This colour has strong associations with very ripe fruit Another example is the colour orange, which has such strong flavour associations that just changing the amount of orange on the packaging can make the flavour seem more acidic.' Đề thi gồm 11 trang Trang 8/11 SỐ PHÁCH Do Hội đồng chấm thi ghi For some foods sound is incredibly important, particularly if the food makes a sound itself when it is consumed With carbonated drinks, for example, a lot of the fizzy flavour comes from the sound of bubbles popping Scientists have found that boosting certain high frequency sounds when volunteers bite into crisps and biscuits could make them appear to taste crunchier 27. _| Another study has used brain scanning equipment to identify the parts of the brain that are stimulated by frozen foods It found that the change in texture that, for example, ice cream undergoes in the mouth as it melts, is part of what makes it so enjoyable Flavour is not just as simple as the way something tastes, as all the other senses come into play and some can dominate the way the brain interprets a food Ice cream activates a part of the brain which is just behind the eyes and is where emotions are processed 28. _| Another study has found that the colour of food has a significant effect on people's appetites Test subjects were placed in a room with special coloured lighting installed, and then given a steak and French fries to eat 29. _| However, when it was revealed that the steak was blue and Lite fries were green, some participants became ill Recently, one firm held a special taste conference in Brussels to demonstrate how the colour of tomatoes can affect how consumers enjoy them Ian Puddephat, a leading scientist, said: 'Amazingly, we leave found that there is such a thing as tomatoes that are too red 30. _| How they feel is also particularly important for consumers Some prefer a firm skin, while others want something that is softer and more associated with ripe juiciness So next time you are in a restaurant or a supermarket, or just sitting down at home to eat something, drink about whether your choices have been influenced by sound or colour You may be surprised!
