By the mid-nineteenth century, the term\entered the American language,but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet(日常饮食)of people living in the United States.The ice

trade grew with the growth of cities.Ice was used in hotels,restaurants,and hospitals.After the Civil War(1861-1865).ice came into household use.Till 1880,half the ice sold in New York and one third of that sold in Boston went to family for their own use.This had become possible because the icebox,a precursor of the modern fridge,had been invented. Making an icebox was not as easy as we might now expect.In the early nineteenth century,

people only had some basic knowledge of the physics of heat,which was very important to the science of refrigeration(冷藏).Many people think that the best icebox was the one that stopped the ice from melting(融化).Of course,this is wrong.for it was the melting of the ice that can cool things.However,people use different ways to keep ice from melting too fast,for example,cover the ice with quilts.At the end of the nineteenth century.inventors finally found a balance(平衡)

between saving the ice from melting too quickly and transporting them at the same time.

But as early as 1803,a clever Maryland farmer,Thomas Moore,had been on the right direction. He owned a farm about twenty kilometers outside the city of Washington,for which the village of Georgetown was the market center.When he used the icebox made by himself to transport his butter to market,he found that buyers would pay the highest price for his butter,still fresh and hard.One

advantage of his icebox.Moore explained,was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their product cool.
