 Stainless steel was discovered by an accident in 1913 by the British
Metallurgist Harry Brearley. He was experimenting with steel alloys –
combinations of metals – that they would be suitable for making gun
barrels. A few months later he had noticed that most of his rejected specimens had rusted although one was containing 14 per cent
chromium had not. The discovery led to the development of stainless
steel. Ordinary steel goes ruts because it reacts easily with oxygen in
the air to produce crumbly red oxides. Other metals, such as aluminum,
nickel and chromium, also react in a much the same way but their oxides
form an impermeable surface layer, stopping oxygen to reacting with the metal underneath. With Brearley’s steel, the chromium formed such as
a film, protecting the metal from further attack, and the whole success of
stainless steel is based well on the fact that it has this one unique
advantage. In fact, a variety of stainless steels are now made. One
of the commonest contains of 18 per cent chromium and 8 per cent
nickel and is used for kitchen sinks. Kitchen knives are made of steel
containing about 13 percent chromium. A very more corrosion – resistant alloy is achieved by adding up an incredibly small amount of the metal
molybdenum – these steels are used as cladding for buildings.

Part 2: Read the passage carefully. Then choose the item that best answers each of the questions below. Circle A, B, C or D to indicate your choice.

If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depends primarily on such physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflects social factors such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or to emulate our fellows.
The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical reasons such as protecting ourselves from the elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of the ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns.
In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps through some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures. Ornaments identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men. This identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated societies. We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all periods children at play have worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life.
Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was superhuman. In more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to distinguish the wearer and to express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform. Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with wealth, costume came to be an expression of social caste and material prosperity. Military uniform denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a group. At the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform. Finally, costume can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s position of respect.

 A. physical protection	B. religious significance
