Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture(潮湿)from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to
do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican(dried
meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates.
All foods include water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other
root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this
water is removed, the activity of the bacteria(细菌)which cause food to go bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South
Africa and Australia. Various methods are used, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the
hot sun.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The method of such dehydration(脱水)is to put food in chambers
through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual
method for drying such things as vegetables, minced(切碎的)meat, and fish.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to
be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in
battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook
them. Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
When I first heard about geocaching(地理寻宝),I was skeptical.But the more I thought about it, the more it
seemed like an interesting idea.I at least wanted to try it once.
Having familiarized myself with how the game works, I set out in search of my first cache.My trip took me
through a series of lively hutong(胡同),past a number of small temples, and right into the courtyard of a quiet
youth hotel.I spent several minutes looking around, but couldn't find anything.Just before l was about to give up,I
spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall.Could it be the hidden cache?
At that moment group of backpackers amped.According to the game's rules, people who are not in the game
must not be allowed to find out about secret caches.So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to
leave.When the coast was clear, I grabbed the object.It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled(皱
的)sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it.I added my own and replaced the
cache in its hiding place, ready for the next geocacher to find.
It may seem like a simple game, but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting.Once
you're hooked, it's easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire
city.The real treasure, however, is not the cache itself, but the places it takes you to.
Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed.Some are
peaceful parks, while others are forgotten historical sites.A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly
without giving them any thought.Now, feel a much closer connection.
1.What was the author's initial attitude to geocaching?
A.He thought it interesting. B.He wanted to try it at once.
C.He showed little interest in it. D.He found it unsuitable for him.
