The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the label:" Store in the refrigerator. "
In my fridgeless fifties childhood,I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day,the grocer, the butcher (肉商), the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.
The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation.Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring,bottling...
What refrigeration did promote was marketing -- marketing hardware and electricity, market ing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price.
So most of the world"s fridges are to be found,not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary.Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
The fridge"s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human, happiness has been not important. If you don"t believe me,try it yourself,invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may not eat the hamburgers ,but at least you"ll get rid of that terrible hum.

参考答案
正确答案:C
冰箱被认为是必需品。20世纪60年代带包装的食品的清单上出现了“在冰箱中保存”的标签,自那以来就一直如此。我的童年在50年代,当时没有冰箱,但我吃得很好很健康。送牛奶的每天都来,蔬菜商、肉商、烤面包的以及卖冰激凌的每周送两、三次货。周日买的肉能一直吃到周三,剩下的面包和牛奶被制成各种蛋糕。什么都不会浪费,我们也从没有食品变质的烦恼。30年的送食品上门的历史结束了,新鲜蔬菜在这个国家几乎找不到了。相比较而言,冰箱的发明对食品保藏技术贡献很小。很多证明很有效的方法都早已存在——自然冷藏、晒干、烟熏、盐腌、糖裹、瓶装……冰箱所促进的是销售——在全世界范围内以高价销售五金制品、电力、软饮料和动物的尸体。所以世界上大部分的冰箱并不在或许真的有用处的热带,而是在气候温和得几乎不需要冰箱的富裕国家。每年冬天,几百万只冰箱不断哼着,开销巨大,忙着在人工取暖的屋子里保持一处人工制冷的空间——而户外,自然在免费提供人们想要的温度。冰箱给环境造成的影响是很明显的,而它对人类的幸福从未有过太大的贡献。如果你不相信我,你可以自己试试,来年冬天买一个食品柜,把你的冰箱关掉。你可能吃不上汉堡包了,但至少你可以赶走讨厌的哼哼声。答案及解析【解析】inmyfridgelessfiftieschildhood.意为50年代,没有冰箱的童年时代;可知50年代作者家里没有冰箱。
