阅读下面的短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

Take a look at the label on almost any bottle of milk and you may see the word PASTEURIZED．What does that mean？Let's find out by meeting Louis Pasteur．

Louis Pasteur was born in 1822 in a little town in France．As he grew up，he loved to paint．He loved to look at the world around him．When he went to college in Paris，he showed interest in looking through a microscope．A microscope makes things look a lot bigger； it lets you see things you can't see just with your eyes．Looking through a microscope，Pasteur found a living world in a drop of water．He saw and drew pictures of the small living things—he called them“Microbes”or“germs”—that crowded in a drop of water．

One day a winemaker came into the lab，hoping that someone could help him with his problem．“Sometimes my wine tastes delicious，but sometimes terrible，”he said to Pasteur．“Can you help me find out why？”

Pasteur put some drops of the wine under the microscope．He noticed that the terrible wine had some unusual germs．If he killed these germs，maybe he could keep the wine from turning terrible．He tried with different ways to kill the germs．In the end he found heating the wine seemed to work best．The winemaker tried it，and every bottle of wine tasted good．

Pasteur's idea worked for other people，too．When farmers heated milk，it didn't turn bad so quickly．When breweries （啤酒厂） heated beer，it tasted better．People called it“pasteurization”—heating a liquid to kill bad germs．Aren't you glad that the milk you drink has been pasteurized？

参考译文

看看牛奶瓶上的商标，你会发现绝大多数瓶子上都有“已经过巴氏消毒法消毒”的字样。这是什么意思呢？让我们通过认识路易斯·巴斯德来找到答案吧。

路易斯·巴斯德于1822年生于法国的一座小城。在成长的过程中，他爱上了绘画。他喜欢观察周围的世界。当他来到巴黎上大学时，他显示出了通过显微镜观察微观世界的兴趣。显微镜可以使物体看起来大许多；它能使你看到仅凭双眼无法看到的东西。通过显微镜的观察，巴斯德发现了一滴水中的生物世界。他把看到的水滴中大量存在的微小生命画了下来，并称之为细菌。

一天，一位酿酒商走进实验室，希望有人能帮他解决他的困扰。“有时候我的酒味道很好，有时候却会变质，”他对巴斯德说，“你能帮我找到原因吗？”

巴斯德把几滴酒放到显微镜下。他注意到变质的酒中有某些罕见的细菌。如果杀死这些细菌，也许能保证酒不变质。他尝试了各种方法来杀死细菌。最后，他发现给酒加热似乎最有效。酿酒商试用了这种方法，每瓶酒味道都变得很好。

巴斯德的创意也启发了其他人。当农民加热牛奶后，牛奶不会很快变质。当啤酒厂加热啤酒后，啤酒的味道更好了。人们把这种方法叫做“巴氏消毒法”，也就是给一种液体加热以杀死有害细菌的方法。当你知道你喝的牛奶已经过巴氏消毒法消毒，难道你不会高兴吗？
