The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when【S1】______food first appeared with the label :"store in the refrigerator."
In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was【S2】______well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher(肉商),the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week.

Thirty years on food deliveries have【S5】______,fresh vegetables are almost【S6】______in the country.

Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are【S9】______almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away conti nuously, 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【S10】______.
