Farmers' Markets (C)
Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.(1)
"You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating," she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"
Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.(2)"I'm sure dad hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young, ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson, farming doesn't offer much "in terms of money or lifestyle." Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature.”
Farming is a big political issue in the UK.(3)The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.
Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern spells(帶來(lái))hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.(4)
"I started going to Farmers' Markets in direct defiance(蔑視)of the big supermarkets.(5)It's terrible, "said Londoner Michael Samson.
A.But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land.
B.While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.
C.While confident they will succeed, she lists farming's many challenges:
D.Young people prefer to live in cities.
E.I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything-what exactly DO they put on our apples to make them so big and red?
F."Buy British" campaigns urge(鼓勵(lì))consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.

A Heroic Woman (B)
The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero, Ashley Smith, with the Federal Bureau of investigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
(1)She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta, Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side." I started walking to my door, and I felt really, really afraid," she said in a TV interview last week. The man was Brian Nichols,33.He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.(2)
Nichols tied Smith up with tape, but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life. "I told him if he hurt me, my little girl wouldn't have a mummy," she said. In order to calm the man down, she read to him from "The Purpose-Driven Life", a best-selling religious book. He asked her to repeat a paragraph "about what you thought your purpose in life was-what talents were you given."(3)
"I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust," Smith said.
Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her. "He said he thought I was an angel sent from God, and we were Christian sister and brother," she said. "And that he was lost, and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of people."(4)She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(報(bào)道)of the police hunt for him. "I cannot believe that's me," Nichols told the woman. Then, Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do. She said, "I think you should turn yourself in. If you don't, lots more people are going to get hurt."
Eventually, he let her go.(5)A US$60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols' capture. Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible(有資格的)for that money.
A.The local police were searching for him.
B.Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter.
C.Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.
D.She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.
E.And the two of them discussed this topic.
F.Then she called the police.

答案:BAEDF
American Dreams (A)
There is a common response to America among foreign writers: the US is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche(陳詞濫調(diào)).
In the land of black and white, people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.(1)No class system or government stands in the way.
Sadly, this old argument is no longer true. Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.
The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened.(2)
Over the past 25 years the median US family income has gone up 18 per cent. For the top 1 per cent, however, it has gone up 200 per cent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth.(3)
Inequalities have grown worse in different regions. In California, incomes for lower class families have fallen by 4 per cent since 1969.(4)This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans. The wealthiest 1 per cent of households now control a third of the national wealth. There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12.7 per cent of the population, it is the highest percentage in the developed world.
Yet the tax burden on America's rich is falling, not growing.(5)There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole. But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.
A.Nobody is poor in the US.
B.The top 0.01 per cent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage points since 1980.
C.For upper class families they have risen 41 per cent.
D.Now it is 9.8 times.
E.As it does so, the possibility to cross that gap gets smaller and smaller.
F.All one has to do is to work hard and climb the ladder towards the top.
