In 1970, a Canadian scientist proved that warm water froze more quickly than cold water A B C D Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: In the United States and other developed countries, air-conditioning is so common that it is difficult to remember what life was like before it existed First invented in 1902 in Buffalo, New York, air-conditioning keeps homes, cars, offices, and shopping centers cool and dry, all at the push of a button While many may consider air-conditioning one of life’s necessary luxuries, few are aware of how air-conditioning has changed many aspects of the way we now live One of the first areas where air-conditioning had an impact was in industry In the early 1900s, factory owners began to use air-conditioning to create better conditions for the storage of supplies Before long, however, they realized that air-conditioning was also useful on the factory floor, as it resulted in higher production levels Air-conditioning has undoubtedly been an important factor in the growth of industry, since it allows manufacturing to continue at the same pace all year round even in the warmest climates Air-conditioning next became common in movie theaters, offices, and stores Then, after the end of the Second World War, smaller, less expensive air-conditioning units became available, and this made airconditioning affordable for private homes Many of the returning soldiers and their new families moved to the suburbs outside America’s major cities with a desire to put the war behind them and live the good life Airconditioned homes were part of that life, and this led to a number of important changes in American society One big change was in architecture Formerly, homes were built with high ceilings and second stories so that hot air could rise away from main living areas in the summer With air-conditioning, inexpensive one-level homes could be kept cool in the hottest weather Additionally, many homes once had front porches where American families gathered in the evening to escape the heat Family members could talk to each other and to neighbors or passers-by With air-conditioning, however, porches disappeared from new houses and people moved indoors instead Along with other factors, such as the invention of television, this led to a weakening of Americans’ sense of community The rise of air-conditioning also allowed the creation of large malls with shops, walkways, movie theaters, and restaurants that are comfortable all the year round In suburban America in the second half of the twentieth century, the air-conditioned mall became the preferred place to go for shopping or for an afternoon’s entertainment Shoppers stopped going to the town and city centers, which led to the closing of many small family-owned businesses, and to the general decline of downtown areas 35 In developed countries, air-conditioning is _ A very popular B difficult to remember C liked by everyone D expensive 36
