Section B Passage One In the old days, fresh food had to be eaten in the city no more than one or two days after it left the farm. If kept longer, it would spoil. One of the reasons behind it is that the air contains many living things that can harm out food. Some things, such as insects, can be seen by us. Others, like bacteria, can be seen only with microscope. All living things need water and man discovered that if this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which causes food to go bad is prevented. In other words, we can protect some of our food by drying it. Besides, living things can only grow at certain temperatures, so we can also protect our food by heating or cooling it.

However, the English were a mixed group of people like everyone else. Many English people were concerned about the welfare of Kenyans and worked under colonialism. These were civil servants, missionaries and some farmers, business and professional people who worked hard to develop Kenya before and after independence. Before Kenya was such a pleasant, easy place to live, another group of people came to live in Kenya, known generally as the settlers tended to be the social outcasts from wealthy families in England, though later they were joined by a wider group of English population. In particular, English soldiers who fought in the First World War were given farms in Kenya. This is a fantastic idea ---- to give away land which does not belong to you in the first place.

Lincoln had very little formal education, but he became one of the best-educated men of the Great West. When Lincoln was a young man, his family moved to the new state of Illinois. Lincoln had to earn a living at an early age, but in his leisure time he studied law. He soon became one of the best known lawyers in the state capital at Springfield, Illinois.

On January 1, 1863, during the war, Lincoln issued his famous Emancipation Proclamation. In this document Lincoln proclaimed that all the slaves in the seceding states were to be free of that date. In 1865, after the war ended, the Thirteen Amendment was added to the Constitution of the United States. This amendment put and end to slavery everywhere in the United States. Early in 1865, the civil War came to an end with the defeat of the south by the North. Only a few days after the end of the war, Lincoln was shot by an actor named John Wiles Booth. The President died on April 14, 1865. in his death, the world lost one of the greatest men of all time. Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. When was Lincoln elected President of the United States? 34. What was the result of the Civil War? 35. Why did some of the Southern states withdraw from the Union?
