Questions 30-35 refer to the following
passage.
(1) In 1902 an engineer named Willis
Carrier designs an air-cooling system for a
Brooklyn
printing company. (2) Little did
Carrier suspect that his “Apparatus for Treating
Air,the first
modem air conditioner, had
changed the way people in the United States worked
and lived. (3) At
first, they used such
devices exclusively in private industry. (4) Their
ability to cool indoor
environments improved
worker productivity and protected products as
various as chocolate, film,
and leather from
heat damage. (5) Likewise, starting in the 1920s,
air-conditioning increasingly
appeared in
public settings-most dramatically in the modern
movie house, which it transformed. (6)
Before
air-conditioning, theater owners typically lost
money in the summer when the heat and
poor
ventilation made theaters unappealing. (7) In 1925
Carrier persuaded Adolph Zukor of
Paramount
Pictures install air-conditioning in the Rivoli
Theater in Manhattan. (8)The experiment
was an
enormous success. (9) Crowds flocked to the
Rivoli. (10) Over the next five years, more
than 300 movie theaters in the United States
would follow the Rivoli’s example.
(11) Movie
theaters were just the beginning. (12)The
introduction of air-conditioning into
public
areas, such as stores and restaurants, not only
made those areas more comfortable but also
created a demand for the same level of comfort
in the home. (13) As the cost of the new
technology came down, air-conditioned houses
became a fixture of modem American life. (14)
For example, porches became less common as the
need to take adventage of breezes disappeared,
a trend that prompted some social critics to
voice concerns about the loss of contact with
nature
and neighbors. (15) Still, Zukor was
right when he said of air-conditioning,
to
like it.”
