PACKING by Jerome K. Jerome Holiday time was near now, and we, that is, Harris and George and I met to discuss our plans. Harris said that the first thing was to discuss what to take with us. He also said that we couldnt take the whole world in a boat. They could take what they really needed. "It is very important," Harris said, "to have everything we need for a long swim every morning before breakfast." He also said that a long swim always gave him fine appetite. "If youre going to eat more than you usually do," George said, "I think well let you go swimming not more than once in three or four days. If you go swimming every day, well never have enough food for you. We wont be able to carry so much in the boat. " So we discussed the food question. "Begin with breakfast," George said. "For breakfast we must have a tea-pot," Harris said, "ham, eggs, bread and butter and jam. Its easy to prepare breakfast with such things. And for lunch — cold meat, bread and butter and jam — but no cheese. " We agreed. Cheese in a boat in summer, little by little becomes the master of all the food. You may think youre eating sausage or meat and potatoes or cake, but it all seems to be cheese. Task A Choose the right variant 1.

Помогите перевести Food shopping is changing and so too is the way food is wrapped for sale. Clear plastic wrapping allows the consumer to see the state of the food inside at the same time as preventing contamination from dust and bacteria. But now supermarkets are looking at new types of packaging. Some supermarkets have decided to wrap their fresh fruit and vegetables in biodegradable plastic packaging instead of conventional plastic. Biodegradable plastics or bioplastics can be made from plant-based materials such as starch from corn, wheat, or potatoes. In the environment, micro-organisms are able to break down these plastics easily and quickly to produce carbon dioxide and water. Biodegradable plastics can also be made by some bacteria that are capable of producing granules of plastic (PHA/PHB) in their cells. Biodegradable plastic packaging can be composted and allows customers to dispose of their own waste at home. Active packaging is a new development that can interact with the product to improve it or provide the consumer with information about the freshness of the product. An American company has developed a label that indicates the temperature a package has been stored at. A chemical in the label polymerizes and becomes darker in colour if the temperature rises. Another company has developed a membrane wrapper which changes its permeability to oxygen and carbon dioxide as the temperature changes so that the best O2 / CO2 balance can be achieved inside the packaging.
