Total farm earnings were estimated (估计) at 74,000 million dollars for the year. That means the average(平均的) farm income was about 71,000 dollars, or a gain of about three percent from the year before. However, the growth in earnings depended on the size of the farm. Large farms had increased earnings of six and one-half percent. Smaller farms saw growth in earnings of less than three percent. Part of American farm income came from the federal (联邦的) government. The Department of Agriculture reports that about thirty-nine percent of farmers accepted some kind of aid(援助), or subsidy in 2003. Reports say the total amount of farm aid paid last year is estimated at 15,700 million dollars. An organization called the Environmental Working Group keeps information on all farm subsidies paid by the government. The group examined subsidies between 1995 and 2003. It says ten percent of farms received seventy-two percent of government subsidies during that nine-year period. The group says big farms that are organized as corporations (公司) or partnership businesses receive the most aid. It says the big farms receive more aid, even when they are more profitable(盈利的) than smaller family farms. Critics(评论家) say farm subsidies are costly and wasteful. Critics also note that subsidies go only to growers of widely traded crops, like corn, cotton, wheat and soybean. But many farmers, including the ones who only receive a few thousand dollars a year, support the subsidy programs. They say small farming communities in states like Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota would not survive without the aid. 56. What is the probable number of American farms?A. 10 million.B. 1 million.C. 10 thousand.D. 100 thousand.57. Why was 2004 a good year for American farmers?A. American farmers earnings increased a lot in 2004.B. The federal government gave American farmers more aid in 2004.C. Big farms were organized as partnership businesses in 2004.D. The federal government reduced farmers taxes in 2004.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All American farmers can get the government aid.B. Only big farms can get the government aid.C. Only profitable farms can get the government aid.D. Farmers growing crops like corn and cotton may get the government aid easily.第二节：阅读下面对话，并根据对话内容完成表格。Dr David Weeks has spent years studying these so-called “Superyoung” people. Now the reporter(R) is interviewing Dr Weeks(DW).R: Dr Weeks, could you start by telling us exactly what you mean by the expression “Superyoung”?DW: Yes, well, I mean a lucky group of people who actually look and feel as much as 18 years younger than they really are.R: Is looking younger than our age just a question of our genes?DW: Well, of course its one of the important things. But we have many other things to think about. My study has shown, for example, that a happy life is quite important. They often have friendships with people younger than themselves too.R: And do the “Superyoung” have a lot of children?DW: No, in fact the opposite. Our study showed that 15% of the “Superyoung” dont have children at all and those that have children usually have small families, one or two children at most.R: Is lifestyle important?DW: Yes, the “Superyoung” usually sleep very well and have usual or even low blood pressure. Our study showed that they travel more often and when they do travel they often travel further. Generally speaking, they are also people who read more and watch less TV than the rest of us.R: And do they do a lot of exercise or sport?DW: Yes, in fact we found that they are the kind of people who prefer to do sport rather than watch sport. A strange fact we discovered is that they prefer the sports one person does such as swimming or walking to playing team sports such as football.
