Teff has been an important part of the Ethiopian diet for thousands of years. Teff is known for its small grain. It is mainly used to make flour. Wayne Carlson learned about teff while doing public health work in Africa in the mid1970s. “I came to know teff because I was eating it all the time and hosted by teff farmers.” In the late 70s, Carlson returned to his home state Idaho in the US, married and settled in Southwest Idaho. Then he came up with an idea. Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers, nor do they want to be. So they convinced actual farmers in Idaho, Oregon and Nevada to grow teff. The Carlsons milled (磨粉) it themselves. However, until last year there was not a single Ethiopian restaurant or bakery in the entire state of Idaho for them to sell the milled flour to. “The way we started was that Wayne went through the Washington, DC., and looked for the names that were Ethiopian in the telephone book.” Over time, the Teff Company has grown out four different mills. The Carlsons say the teff flour coming off the mill could end up in a good natural foods store or commercial bakery. “Sales of alternatives (替代品) to modern wheat (小麦) are growing quickly each year，” says an industry trade group. Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at Oregon State University. He says teff production has exploded over the past decade in the US. He also says most teff grown in the US is fed to farm animals. In Idaho, however, where the Carlsons are based, Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food. Teff contains lots of calcium, iron, and protein. Roseberg praises Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.【文章大意】埃塞俄比亚画眉草的种子在埃塞俄比亚被用作食物原料，现在这种农作物被引进到了美国。1What did Wayne Carlson probably want to do after returning to Idaho?ATo become a farmer.BTo do public health work.CTo mill grains for a living.DTo introduce teff to the US.解析：D推理判断题。根据第三段的Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers, nor do they want to be. So they convinced actual farmers in Idaho, Oregon and Nevada to grow teff. 可推断，Wayne Carlson想将这种作物引进美国。2What problem did the couple face at first?ATheir milled flour couldnt be sold.BThey didnt know how to mill grains.CThey were not good at doing business.DTheir work wasnt supported by others.解析：A细节理解题。根据第三段的However, until last year there was not a single Ethiopian restaurant or bakery in the entire state of Idaho for them to sell the milled flour to.可知，他们俩所面临的问题就是他们磨的面粉卖不出去。3Why does Roseberg think Wayne Carlson is ahead of his time?ABecause Wayne Carlson improves the taste of teff.BBecause Wayne Carlson feeds teff to farm animals.CBecause Wayne Carlson tries to reduce hunger worldwide.DBecause Wayne Carlson thinks teff should be used as human food.解析：D推理判断题。根据末段的Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food. Teff contains lots of calcium, iron, and protein. Roseberg praises Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.可推断，是因为Wayne Carlson认为埃塞俄比亚画眉草的种子应该被人食用的缘故。.完形填空Darius and Johntel both love basketball and are captains of their high school basketball teams.
