单选题I delivered a speech in front of the class.

单选题Not content with its doubtful claim to produce cheap food for our own population, the factory farming industry also argues that "Hungry nations are benefiting from advances made by poultry industry. " In fact, rather than helping the fight against malnutrition in "hungry nations", the spread of factory farming has, inevitable aggravated the problem. Large-scale intensive meat and poultry production is the waste of the food resources. This is because more protein has to be fed to animals in the form of vegetable matter than can ever be recovered by the form of meat. Much of the food value is lost in animal's process of digestion and cell replacement. Neither, in the case of chicken, can one eat feathers, blood, feet, or head. In all, only about 44% of the live animal fits to be as meat. This means one has to feed approximately 9-10 times as much food value to the animal than one can consume from the carcass. As a system for feeding the hungry, the effects can prove disastrous. At times of crisis, grain is the food of life. Nevertheless, the huge increase in poultry production through Asia and Africa continues. Normally British or US firms are involved. For instance, an America-based multinational company has this year announced its involvement in projects in several African countries. Britain's largest suppliers of chickens, Rose Breeders, are also involved in the project all over the world. Because such trade is good for exports, Western governments encourage it. In 1979, a firm in Bangladesh called Phoenix Poultry received a grant to set up a unit of 6,000 chickens and 18,000 laying hens. This almost doubled the number of poultry kept in the country all at once. But Bangladesh lacks capital, energy and food and has large number of unemployed. Such chicken-raising demands capital for building and machinery, extensive use of energy resources and automation, and involves feeding chickens with potential farming-relief protein food. At present, one of Bangladesh's main imports is food grain, because the country is unable to grow enough food to feed its population. On what then can they possibly feed the chicken?

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for the most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern way; that they are possessive and dominant; that they don't trust their children to deal with the crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems — and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parent often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parent with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture of society of their own. Then, it turns out that their music and entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents. This gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you don't want your parents to approve what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that cases, you are assuming that you are an underdog: you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. There is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you are completely under your patents' control. But it ignores the face that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress your parents with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

单选题Shundagarh is a village on India's east-facing coast. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of those hills. From his fields he could see everything up and down the coast. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enough — not well, but happily. When there was little or no rain, then he came close to the line between a life which was too hard and death itself. Last year the weather had been so kind and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his family. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouth of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this. On the day on which Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing towards the coast and the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was preparing to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do. He set fire to his corn. Immediately smoke was rising high. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were running up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened corn-field, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him. On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, giving.
