9、ack for Saturdays fishing trip. He went into his storeroom, where he had more than 20 fishing rods (钓鱼竿). He went fishing twice a year at Big Bear, a huge lake in southern California about 7,000 feet up in the mountains. California tried to encourage the fishing industry by arranging for a Free Fish

10、ing Day twice a year, once in June and once in September. That was enough for Dave. He went mostly because it was a social event with a few friends. Even the scenic drive up a twisty (蜿蜒的) road was worth the trip. Not to mention the big, beautiful houses and trees that surrounded the shore of the la

11、ke. Packing was an important project. Dave had even created a computer file (文件夹) named Fishing Trip. It was a checklist of 45 things to take to Big Bear. He took two rods, because on Free Fishing Day you were allowed to fish with two rods instead of the usual one rod. He took a hooded (有兜帽的) sweats

12、hirt, jeans, two pairs of socks, a heavy hooded jacket, winter gloves and a scarf. He also took shorts, a T-shirt, sunglasses, a big hat and a lightweight raincoat. If you go to Big Bear in June, youd better be prepared for hot or cold, rain or shine. He packed a couple of magazines to read just in

13、case the fish werent biting. He and his friends joked that the fish were always biting where you just left or where you were headed to. After about an hour and a half, Dave had gathered all the items on his list into a tidy pile (堆) next to his door. He went to bed knowing that the next days weather

18、ntury with some of the same problems that they came across during the last century. The most important of the problems continued to be overproduction (生产过剩). It is true that continuing improvements in farm machinery, better seeds, better fertilizers, and other good conditions have made farmers more

19、and more successful in what they do. In fact, American agriculture has become an “agribusiness”, which includes a variety of farm businesses and organizations, from small, one-family companies to huge multinational companies (跨国公司) that own a great deal of land and that produce goods and materials u

20、sed by farmers. The appearance of agribusiness in the late 20th century meant fewer but much larger farms. Sometimes owned by stockholders (股东) who didnt manage the farms, these large farms used more machinery and far fewer farm hands. In 1940, there were 6 million farms averaging (平均为) 67 hectares

21、(公顷) each. In the late 1990s, there were only about 2.2 million farms averaging 190 hectares in size. During the same period, the number of farmers became smaller from 12.5 million in 1930 to 1.2 million in the 1990s. In 1900, half of the labor force were farmers, but at the end of the last century

22、only 2% worked on the farm. And nearly 60% of the remaining farmers at the beginning of this century worked only part-time on farms; they held other, non-farm jobs to add to their farm income. The high cost spent on land and equipment makes keeping the full-time farming going on very difficult for m

23、ost people. As these numbers show, the American “family farm” rooted in the nations history and in the story of the hard-working peasants faces powerful economic challenges. Americans continue to imagine the neat barns (谷仓), fat farm animals, and beautiful fields of the traditional rural landscape,

24、but it remains uncertain whether they will be willing to pay the price, either in higher food prices or in government aids to farmers who own the family farm.25.
