     Do you wake up in the morning dreading the moment that your feet have to hit the floor for you to get
ready for work? If that's the case, join most of Americans. Very few people wake up to that an noying alarm
clock and spring out of bed excited about having to go to work.
     As if that were not enough, most of us have to fight traffic get- ting there, usually an hour's drive. Then,
when we get to work, we have to fight with unruly co-workers or a nagging boss. And to make matters worse, you have to fight the same traffic going in the oppo site direction just to get back home.
     Making dinner, fixing plates, eating and then straightening up afterwards is a job within itself. If that sounds
like your life, you probably have a J-O-B. You know what J-O-B stands for? Just Over Broke, that's what!
With a job, most Americans are living pay- check-to-paycheck and hating every minute of it. I know because
I was doing the same thing: trading time for money. And, I came to a conclusion that it stinks (糟糕透了)! Big
time!
     Looking around at my co-workers, friends and relatives, I saw that they were all doing the same thing I
was doing. They were com plaining about the same things I was complaining about: not having enough time
or money. And, I decided that I wanted to do something different.
     So, I started a home-based business. There are several to choose from. The extra income has done so
much for our family. We can vacation more. We have been able to give more. And, we've e ven been able to
do something calling save! It's been amazing.
     Therefore, if you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, it's time you make a change, too. The definition
 of insanity (疯狂) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I know you aren't
stupid. If you continue to do what everyone else is doing: trading time for money, you're going to keep getting
what eve ryone else is getting: being broke and not having the time to do what is really important to you.
     Do your due diligence? Find a home-based business that works well for you. Go to work, and live the life
you've always imag ined!

2010 was a good year for American farmers. They earned about eighty-two billion dollars. That is almost one-third more than that they earned last year. And it is twenty-six percent higher than the ten-year average. Values for grain and oilseed crops are up about three percent from last year. The value of animal production is up by almost seven percent.

In 2011, farm exports are expected to break the all-time high set in 2008.The Agriculture Department says exports in 2011 could top one hundred and twenty-six billion dollars. The largest buyer of agricultural products is expected to be Canada. But farm exports to China are predicted to come within five hundred million dollars of Canadian purchases. Secretary Vilsack says countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are also buying more from American farmers.

Poor growing conditions overseas played an important part in higher prices for American crops in 2010.Charlotte Hebe brand is chief executive of the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council in Washington. She said drought(干旱)conditions had a big effect over the summer. She said,“There were horrible weather problems, not just in Russia but also in some of the other former Soviet Union countries.”

Wheat prices rose after Russia stopped wheat exports,although Russia later eased the ban(禁令).“Wheat used to be America’s top crop. What’s interesting,though,is that wheat production has actually become less over the past few years because corn has become the most popular crop,”said economist Charlotte Hebebrand.

Corn is mostly fed to animals. But Miss Hebebrand said with the recent increase in wheat prices, American farmers might plant more wheat again. Corn and wheat are the two largest crops supported by the government.

1.We know that compared to 2009,in 2010 American farmers——.

A.planted less corn

B.planted morn crops

C.planted morn wheat

D.earned more money

2.What does the Agriculture Department expect in 2011?

A. Agriculture exports will continue to increase.

B. China will be the largest buyer of agriculture products

C. America will export food to every country around the world

D. Southeast Asian countries will start buying food from America

3.What is implied in Paragraph 3?

A. America farming also was greatly affected in 2010

B. Russia was not the country most affected by drought in 2010

C. Weather problems helped raise prices for American crops in 2010

D. American crops were the most expensive around the world in 2010

4.We can infer that in the past few years American farmers——

A. reduced crop exports

B. increased corn production

C. increased wheat production

D. increased investment in farming

5.According to what Miss Hebebrand said, we know American farmers will ——

A.stop feeding corn to animals

B.export most of their corn

C.try to increased wheat production

D.try to get more support from the governmet

Here are six steps to better studying.

Pay attention in class

Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention.

Take good notes

Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.

Plan ahead for tests and projects

Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.

Break it up

When there’s a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let’s say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night.

Ask for help

You can’t study effectively if you don’t understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you’re at home when the confusion occurs, your morn or dad might be able to help.

Sleep tight

So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan—but suddenly you can’t remember anything! Don’t panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.

1.We know from the passage that a loud person is       .

A.a student who always answers questions loudly in class

B.someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice

C.a student who likes speaking with others in class

D.a person who makes a lot of noise in public places

2.According to the author, which of the following is an effective studying method?

A.Don’t try to review everything you have learned in one go.

B.Try to review what you’ve learned in one go.

C.To read all your notes the night before the test.

D.Try to remember everything on the first try.

3.If you don’t understand what you have learnt, you can       .

A.read your notes over and over again

B.turn to people around you for help

C.put aside the material for later review

D.ask your teacher to explain it the next day

4.By saying “Sleep tight”, what does the author mean?

A.Sleep again after waking up.

B.Sleep holding your breath deep.

C.Get a good night’s sleep.

D.Go to sleep early every night.
