needed to pack for saturdays fishing trip. he went into his storeroom, where he had more than 20 fishing rods (钓鱼竿). he went fishing twice a year at big bear, a huge lake in southern california about 7,000 feet up in the mountains. california tried to encourage the fishing industry by arranging for a free fishing day twice a year, once in june and once in september. that was enough for dave. he went mostly because it was a social event with a few friends. even the scenic drive up a twisty (蜿蜒的) road was worth the trip. not to mention the big, beautiful houses and trees that surrounded the shore of the lake. packing was an important project. dave had even created a computer file (文件夹) named fishing trip. it was a checklist of 45 things to take to big bear. he took two rods, because on free fishing day you were allowed to fish with two rods instead of the usual one rod. he took a hooded (有兜帽的) sweatshirt, jeans, two pairs of socks, a heavy hooded jacket, winter gloves and a scarf. he also took shorts, a t-shirt, sunglasses, a big hat and a lightweight raincoat. if you go to big bear in june, youd better be prepared for hot or cold, rain or shine. he packed a couple of magazines to read just in case the fish werent biting. he and his friends joked that the fish were always biting where you just left or where you were headed to. after about an hour and a half, dave had gathered all the items on his list into a tidy pile (堆) next to his door. he went to bed knowing that the next days weather and fishing were unpredictable (难以预料的), but the good time with his friends was a given. 21. from the first paragraph we can learn that _. a. dave didnt go out to fish except go to big bear lake b. dave liked to collect fishing tools and sold them as his business c. dave was a fishing lover and was going to attend the fishing activities d. big bear lake was a good place for sightseeing instead of fishing22. dave thought that the free fishing day held twice a year was _. a. limited b. satisfying c. unbelievable d. surprising23. if youd like to go fishing on free fishing day, you should _. a. take only one fishing rod according to the rules b. go fishing there in september rather than in june c. consider the weather first and prepare carefully for your trip d. take a computer recording what you should take with you24. we can infer from the last paragraph that dave _. a. was sure that he would have a great time with his friends the next day b. was eager to go fishing at big bear but didnt like to prepare for it c. was sure that the next days weather and fishing would be quite good d. couldnt decide whether he would go fishing at big bear the next day b american farmers entered this century with some of the same problems that they came across during the last century. the most important of the problems continued to be overproduction (生产过剩). it is true that continuing improvements in farm machinery, better seeds, better fertilizers, and other good conditions have made farmers more and more successful in what they do. in fact, american agriculture has become an “agribusiness”, which includes a variety of farm businesses and organizations, from small, one-family companies to huge multinational companies (跨国公司) that own a great deal of land and that produce goods and materials used by farmers. the appearance of agribusiness in the late 20th century meant fewer but much larger farms. sometimes owned by stockholders (股东) who didnt manage the farms, these large farms used more machinery and far fewer farm hands. in 1940, there were 6 million farms averaging (平均为) 67 hectares (公顷) each. in the late 1990s, there were only about 2.2 million farms averaging 190 hectares in size. during the same period, the number of farmers became smaller from 12.5 million in 1930 to 1.2 million in the 1990s. in 1900, half of the labor force were farmers, but at the end of the last century only 2% worked on the farm. and nearly 60% of the remaining farmers at the beginning of this century worked only part-time on farms; they held other, non-farm jobs to add to their farm income. the high cost spent on land and equipment makes keeping the full-time farming going on very difficult for most people. as these numbers show, the american “family farm” rooted in the nations history and in the story of the hard-working peasants faces powerful economic challenges. americans continue to imagine the neat barns (谷仓), fat farm animals, and beautiful fields of the traditional rural landscape, but it remains uncertain whether they will be willing to pay the price, either in higher food prices or in government aids to farmers who own the family farm.25. what is the most important problem the american farmers meet with now? a. the farm machinery needs to be improved.b. the farm products are more than what people need.c. the farm conditions need to be developed further.d. the farm products cant meet the need of the people.26. with the agribusiness appearing, american farms become _.a. more and largerb. more but smallerc. fewer and smallerd. fewer but larger27. how many farmers worked full-time on the farm at the beginning of this century?a. less than 1% of the labor force.b. about 40% of the labor force. c. about 60% of the labor force.d. over 2% of the labor force.28. why do some farmers do other part-time jobs? a. they all want to make a large fortune.b. farming cant meet their need of money.c. farm work doesnt need too much time.d. they want to learn how to do other jobs.cguitar lessons for guitar playersplay

she is a hero to many because of her efforts to work for justice and equality. she even spent time in prison while working to improve her country. as a president she has a very difficult job to bring life to a suffering nation. she will have to use a great deal of heart, creativity and energy. but the woman known as the “iron lady” is confident that she has the ability to “change troubles into opportunities”. one of her aims is to make sure everyone is educated in order to bring positive change and happiness to the country. she has worked hard to improve schools by bringing teachers and learning materials to her nation. as well as education, she is also creating jobs by building homes and providing basic health care and food for all the people of liberia. this includes as special
