I asked him what he wished to know about farmers. He smiled and said, “That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you.”Take Dave for example: Hes a young man with a music degree. And if you walked past him on the street, youd never think, “There goes a farmer.”Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer? Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls(工作服). I can tell you, that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers, but farming as a whole doesnt look much like it used to either. We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical(垂直的) farms. In a Florida field under the fight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.These farmers all spend their days in very different waysnone of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mindbut theyre all working on new ways to feed our planet. Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like, but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from. Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.1. How does Dave describe todays farmers?A. They often walk on the street.B. They are leading a very busy life.C.

Chinas achievements in poverty alleviation(扶贫) made the world look at China with admiration.“For me, it is unbelievable that over 40 years, that is, over the course of one working lifetime, China has gone from one of the poorest countries in the world to one that is about to eliminate(消除) absolute poverty,” said Craig Allen, president of the US-China Business Council.Varaprasad Sekhar Dolla, a professor of Chinese studies at Indias Jawaharlal Nehru University, also spoke highly of Chinas achievements in poverty reduction. “If global poverty came down greatly in the last three or four decades, its partly because of the Chinese contribution to reducing poverty within its own national boundaries,” said the Indian scholar.In the eyes of Khairy Tourk, a professor of economics with the Stuart School of Business at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, “many countries look up to China to learn from its experience.” “The Chinese experience is based on building a modern infrastructure(基础设施) and then on setting up special economic zones that would help underdeveloped countries to become more industrial,” he added.In the government work report delivered at the opening of the annual NPC session (全国人大会议) on March 5, China promises to reduce its population of rural poor by over 10 million this year.5.
