In 1957, an engineering company started studying the possibility to join Britain and
France through a tunnel under the sea. It would have two trains for passengers as
well as a small service train. In 1973 the ideas went into action and the hard work
began. A short time later, they were stopped because there wasn’t enough money
to complete the project.
In 1984, several companies showed their ideas to re-start the project: two variations
of railway, a road and a big bridge over the English Channel. The chosen project
was the railway solution that was very similar to the one presented back in 1973.
This time with help from both the British and French, a private company began the
construction.
On January 20th 1986, the company TransMancheLink (TML) said that a long tunnel
would be constructed. They chose a route from Folkestone in England to Calais in
France. This wasn’t the shortest possible way and the company needed to work
harder than 13 years before.
It took seven years to complete the Eurotunnel and about 13,000 people worked on it.
The two ends of the smallest platform met on December 1st 1990 and lots of journalists
and photographers went to the opening ceremony. Later, in 1991 the two long trains
met. The hard work continued and three years later the project was completed.

Different Colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In her new series ‘Colour
me Healthy’, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They
can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.
‘Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?’ says Verity. ‘Our toothpaste
is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is
clean, while we think of green products as being a bit disgusting. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a
company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who
design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.’
During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each programme. She meets
people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets, to people who name
the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their
ideas, such as the American ‘Colour Doctor’ who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured
lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice,
with some surprising results.
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because
Verity is goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the viewers to make their
own decisions about how much they should believe.

FOOD PRESERVATION
3. Food preservation is the process of treating and handling food in a way that
preserves its edibility and nutrition value. The main effort is to stop or greatly slow
down spoilage to prevent foodborne illness (e.g. salting, cooling, cooking).
However some methods utilize benign bacteria, yeasts or fungi to add specific
qualities and to preserve food (e.g. cheese, wine). While maintaining or creating
nutritional value, texture and flavour is important in preserving its value as food;
this is a culturally dependent determinant as what qualifies as food fit for humans
in one culture may not qualify in another culture.
4. Preservation usually involves preventing the growth of bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms, as
well as retarding the oxidation of fats which cause rancidity. It also includes processes to inhibit natural
ageing and discoloration that can occur during food preparation such as the enzymatic browning reaction
in apples which causes browning when apples are cut. Some preservation methods require the food to
be sealed after treatment to prevent re-contamination with microbes; others, such as drying, allow food
to be stored without any special containment for long periods.
5. Common methods of applying these processes include drying, spray drying, freeze drying, freezing,
vacuum-packing, canning, preserving in syrup, sugar crystallization, food irradiation, adding
preservatives or inert gases such as carbon dioxide. Other methods that not only help to preserve food,
but also add flavour, include pickling, salting, smoking, preserving in syrup or alcohol, sugar crystallization
and curing.
