16、emale Professor: OK, lets get started. Today is our question and answer session with our guest speaker, Donald Yates, who has quite a bit of experience with charity organizations. This is your chance to have some of your questions answered, so lets not waste any time. Mr. Yates? Guest Speaker: Hi, e
17、veryone. I, Id like to start by thanking you for inviting me here. Im always happy to get out of the office. Your professors right. Ive worked for several charitable organizations over the years. Now Im more interested in the cash transfer programs, so thats what Im, Im doing my research on now. Who
18、d like to ask the first question? To be continued Listening 2 Female Student 1: Yes, with cash transfer programs, do you, do you know whether people really use the money for important things? I mean, it seems like people might not spend the money responsibly. Guest Speaker: A . a lot of people ask m
19、e that, but according to my research, people living in poverty make very good decisions about how to spend their money. They almost never buy things they dont need. Instead, mothers buy things for their childrenschool uniforms or notebookse, even medicine. Or a farmer might buy a new tool to help wi
20、th the harvest. With cash transfer programs, poor people themselves decide what they need the most, so the outcomes of these programs have been very good.

21、raid that if people, people got their payments for nothing, they wouldnt use the money well. Guest Speaker: Well, the fact is, most people who are living in poverty are already working very hard.

22、r three jobs. For them, a little extra cash is very much appreciated! Theyre not going to waste it on something they dont need. Next question? Listening 2 To be continued Female Student 2: Id like to know who makes decisions about the money. I mean, you cant give money to everyone someone has to dec
23、ide who should get it. Guest Speaker: Well, in cash transfer programs, money is given to as large a group as possibleoften to governments, in fact. Or the same payment might be made to every adult in a certain village. The idea is that financial decisions are made locally. Charity organizations that
24、 come in from outside might not be the best people to make those decisions. Time for one last question. Listening 2 To be continued Male Student 2: I, I was wondering how communities get things like new schools and roads. I mean, people need those too, but you cant buy them with small amounts of cas
25、h. Guest Speaker: Ah. Thats really the fundamental questionwhat works best when it comes to fighting poverty? Many people in the world understand the concept of giving a little money to charity if you can and letting the charity figure out what to do with it. And that might be the best way to get th
26、e really big projects done. On the other hand, Ive heard of villages pooling their money to build new irrigation systems, so were really just starting to learn what works best.

Narrator: Early morning is her time to focus and get ready for the busy day ahead. The calm of sunrise wont last long, not with a family to take c
35、are of inside. Mary Brazeau Brown: Coffee cake time Narrator: And a passion waiting right outside the door. To be continued Mary Brazeau Brown: When people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I knew all along there were two things that I wanted to do. Be a mom and work outside. Youre go
36、ing to work, and Im going to work. Narrator: Life has worked out just as she planned. Marys office is this 6,100-acre cranberry marsh, one of the largest and oldest in Wisconsin. Mary Brazeau Brown: I cant resist. This particular system was established back in 1873. Some of the vines out here are ov
37、er 70 years old. They were here before me, and theyll be here after me. To be continued Narrator: As owner of Glacial Lake Cranberries, she oversees every aspect of the business, and today the long-awaited fall harvest has just begun. Mary Brazeau Brown: Harvest is a great time of year because you k
38、now you work for it all year long. Narrator: The marsh sits in Cranmoora tiny town that produces more cranberries inland than any place in the world. Mary Brazeau Brown: This area where we are is all part of old Glacial Lake Wisconsin and and its very flat, high water table, acid conditions, lots of
39、 sand, and cranberries are native to this area. Cranberries are one of North Americas native fruits. To be continued Narrator: Here, 14 families, each with its own legacy, have been harvesting this crop for generations. Mary herself is a third generation cranberry grower. When the berries ripen to a
40、 glowing red in early fall, its time to flood the beds. The berries are knocked from their vines by machines called beaters, and they float to the surface to be corralled. Mary keeps a cautious eye on the weather. Mary Brazeau Brown: Tomorrow morning youll say, “Yeah, this is fall.” Narrator: A hard
41、 frost could wipe out an entire crop. When the berries are in danger of freezing, the irrigation system is turned on to keep water flowing over the vines and the temperature from reaching damaging levels. These sprinklers could be the difference between a bumper crop and a bitter harvest. To be cont
42、inued Mary Brazeau Brown: The forecast for this week is cold all week so well probably not only be up tonight but tomorrow night and who knows how long. Narrator: Because the cranberry crop is so dependent on water, large systems of reservoirs, ditches, and dikes are needed to keep an adequate suppl

Mary Brazeau Brown: . its a wonderful time of year, but its so reassuring because it tells me that were doing something right and when were doing something right for the wildlife, then were doing something right for us.

50、ks meetings money Cooperatives, or co-ops, are different from corporations or other business enterprises in several ways. First, theyre made up of members who are also the owners of the cooperative. In the case of an agricultural co-op, a number of farmers may decide to cooperate and sell their prod
51、ucts together, rather than separately. As co-op members, the farmers make decisions democratically. They also share their wealth among themselves. Instead of going to stockholders and executives, profits in cooperatives are returned to their members, who may also share machinery and borrow money fro
52、m the co-op. To be continued Listening 1 Perhaps the most important benefit of co-ops is the pooling of farm products because large quantities may be more attractive to buyers. Farmers in agricultural cooperatives are a diverse group. They can be found in numerous countries, and they produce everyth
53、ing from cotton and soybeans to flowers and fruit. There are also examples of fishermen working together. San Franciscos fishermen faced the twin threats of tough competition from companies operating large boats that have been overfishing the waters off Northern California and limited control over t
54、he price they received for their catch. The processors could set the price because they controlled the equipment fishermen depend on. To be continued Listening 1 When the San Francisco Community Fishing Association was formed in 2010, the co-op changed the balance of power. It partnered with other g
55、roups to be able to lease a warehouse, a hoist, and freezers at San Franciscos Pier 45, as well as purchase fork trucks and this has enabled the associations members to get fish into the market on their own terms. However, the association was not set up just to create fair trade conditions for the l
56、ocal fishermen. Its members have also been working to ensure that the state and industry are taking care of fish stocks for the long term. Listening 1 To be continued Starting a co-op was an effective way for these fishermen to compete against the larger companies. However, co-ops are not the answer
57、 for every industry or small business. Before deciding to start or join a cooperative, people need to assess their situation carefully and consider whether they want to spend time going to co-op meetings or put money into all of the co-ops projects.
