UJIAN TENGAH SEMESTER (UTS)
More than 100 years ago, we were not able to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Pacific Ocean very fast. People wanted to travel from one to the other in a short time. They
decided to build a canal. As early as 1846, the United States made plans to build a canal in
Panama, but they didn’t build it. In 1867, they planned one in Nicaragua. In 1882, a French
company began to build a canal in Panama. After 5 years, they had to stop working. They
didn’t have enough money. A lot of the workers were sick too, and they didn’t have any
medicine to help them. In 1889, an American company began to build a canal in Nicaragua. It
was not successful. Both companies wanted the United States to finish their work. In 1904,
the United States began to work on the canal in Panama. Many workers got sick, but a new
medicine was found to help them. On August 15, 1914, the Panama Canal was opened to
traffic. It was very important day for countries around the world

PASSAGE
By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but
ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade
grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward-
looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish and butter. After the Civil War (1861 – 1865), as ice was
used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold
in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to
families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the
icebox, a precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented.
Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early
nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physic of heat, which was essential to a science
refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that
prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that
performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping ice in the
blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did
inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right
track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of
Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his
butter to market, he found that costumers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his
competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one pound bricks. One
advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was the farmer would no longer have to travel to market
at night in order to keep their product cool.
