15、 the oldest and most common method of preserving food. Food can be dried by the sun, by heat or by combination of the two.Salt was used by many hunting people.

Starting next year, the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the coun

One reason is that its easier for a company t

40、o attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don t want to dress up for work,“ says the owner of a software company, “ so it s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code. “ Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wear

41、ing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them s
