Food which is kept too long decays because it is attacked by yeasts(酵母菌),moulds (霉)and bacteria(细菌).The canning process,however,seals the product in a container so that no infection can reach it,and then it is sterilized(消毒)by heat.Heat sterilization destroys all infections present in food inside the can.No chemical preservatives are necessary,and properly canned food does not deteriorate during storage.
Today vegetables,fish,fruit,meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities.Foods that were previously seasonal may now be eaten at any time,and strange foods are available far from the countries where they are grown.The profitable crops many farmers now produce often depend on the proximity of a canning factory.
The first stage in the canning process is the preparation of the raw food.Diseased and waste portions are thrown away;meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed;fruit and vegetables washed and graded for size.The jobs are principally done by machine.
The next stage,for vegetables only,is blanching.This is immersion(浸洗)in very hot or boiling water for a short time to remove air and soften the vegetable.This makes it easier to pack into cans for sterilization.Some packing machines fill up to 400cans a minute.Fruit,fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans,and then all the air is removed.When the cans are sealed,the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.This is’vacuum’packing.
During the sterilization process which follows,the cans are subjected to steam or boiling water,with the temperature and duration varying according to the type of food.Cans of fruit,for example,take only 5-10minutes in boiling water,while meat and fish are cooked at higher temperature for longer periods .After sterilization,the cans are cooled quickly to 32℃,to prevent the contents from becoming too soft.
The final stage before dispatch to the wholesale or retail grocer is labeling,and packing the tins into boxes.Nowadays,however,labeling is often printed on in advance by the can maker and no paper labels are then required.

The word“deteriorate”can be replaced by().

A.become soft
B.go bad
C.change taste
D.turn hard

单项选择题 Forty May Be the New 30 As Scientists Redefine Age Is 40 really the new 30? In many ways people today act younger than their parents did at the same age.Scientists have defined a new age concept and believe it could explain why populations are aging, but at the same time seem to be getting younger.Instead of measuring, aging by how long people have lived, the scientists have factored in how many more years people can probably still look forward to. Using that measure, the average person can get younger in the sense that he or she can have even more years to live as time goes on,' said Warren Sanderson of the University of New York in Stony Brook.He and Sergei Scherbov of the Vienna Institute of Demography (人口统计学)at the Austrian (奥地利的) Academy of Sciences, have used their method to estimate how the proportion of elderly people in Germany, Japan and the United States will change in the future.The average German was 39.9 years old in 2000 and could plan to live for another 39.2 years, according to research reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday. However, by 2050 the average German will be 51.9 years old and will be expected to live another 37.1 years. So middle age in 2050 would occur at around 52 years instead of 40 years as in 2000.'As people have more and more years to live they have to save more and plan more and they effectively are behaving as if they were younger,' said nderson.Five years ago, the average American was 35.3 years old and could plan for 43.5 more years of life. By 2050, the researchers estimate it will increase to 41.7 years and 45.8 future years.'A lot o; our skills, our education, our savings and the way we deal with our health care depend a great deal on how many years we have to live,' said Sanderson.This dimension of how many years people have to live has been completely ignored in the discussion of aging so far. 第 36 题 People 40 years of age today seem to be as young asA. their parents were at the same age.B. their parents were at the age of 30.C. their children will be at the same age.D. their children will be at the age of 30.
