It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as f

19、lood, rising fuel pricesand crop-eating insects. The countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age w

20、ill be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of Americas farmers, her work is made

21、tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of “useless” college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.“There couldnt be anything thats more incorrect,” Merrigan

22、 said. “We know that there arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.”In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more foodproduction by 2050, she said.“I truly believe were at a golden age of agriculture. Glob

23、al demand is at an all-time recordhigh, and global supplies are at all-time record lows,” said Matt Rush, director of the Texas FarmBureau. “Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.”The Department of Agricul

24、ture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.Ryan Best, president of Future Farmers of America, has been living ou

The 21-year-old Besthopes his messagethat this is a new time in agriculturewill motivate the next generation to turnaround the statistics. “Never before have we had the innovations (创新) in tech

CMedical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is toput the dru

30、gs inside a capsule, protecting them from the bodyand the body from themuntil theycan be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release, including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risksburns, for example. Now, resear

31、chers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that beg

32、in to break down when theyabsorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV andvisible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light canreach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have t

33、ried to use it as atrigger. But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, SanDiego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when itabsorbs NIR light.

34、Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group calledo-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to itsbreakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when itseparates from the polymer.So Almutairi and

35、her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better. This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive(易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleague

36、s use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown,

37、potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. Whats more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.63. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger?A. Temperature change. B. NIR light. C. Acidity change. D. UV l

38、ight.64. Why is ONB unsatisfactory?A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release. C. It has not come onto the market up till now. D. It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.65. Which word can be used to complete the following process of

39、changes?A. protected B. formed C. exposed D. combined DFranz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. ”I onceshared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didnt seem to require any explanation.Wed just finished John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men.

40、hen we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “andthe funny thing is Ive read it many times.”But they understood. When Ge

41、orge shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was alwaysgoing to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, Ive taughtkids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parentsthemselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up

42、 in violent neighborhoods. They understand,more than I ever will, the novels terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate (命运).For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic worksof literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight.

44、prison, she perhaps feltuncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help studentslike her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the firsttime, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D.s.Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didnt always read from the expected point
