WhyDoes food cost so much
1 In 1959 the average American family paid $989 fora year’s supply of food. In 1972 the family paid $1,311. That was a priceincrease of nearly one-third. Every family has had this sort of experience.Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But thereis less agreement when reasons for the rise are being discussed. Who is reallyresponsible?
2 Many blame the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit,meat, eggs, and cheese that stores offer for sale. According to the U.S.Department of Agriculture, the farmer’s share of the $1,311 spent by the familyin 1972 was $521. This was 31 per cent more than the farmer had received in1959.
3 But farmers claim that this increase was very small compared to theincrease in their cost of living. Farmers tend to blame others for the sharprise in food prices. They particularly blame those who process the farm productsafter the products leave the farm. These include truck drivers, meat packers,manufacturers of packages and other food containers, and the owners of storeswhere food is sold. They are among the “middlemen” who stand between the farmerand the people who buy and eat the food. Are middlemen the ones to blame forrising food prices?
4 Of the $1,311 family food bill in 1972, middlemenreceived $790, which was 33 per cent more than they had received in 1959. Itappears that the middlemen’s profit has increased more than farmer’s. But someeconomists claim that the middleman’s actual profit was very low. According toeconomists at the First National City Bank, the profit for meat packers and foodstores amounted to less than one per cent. During the same period all othersmanufacturers were making a profit of more than 5 per cent. By comparison withother members of the economic system both farmers and middlemen have profitedsurprisingly little from the rise in food prices.
5 Who then is actuallyresponsible for the size of the bill a housewife must pay before she carries thefood home from the store? The economists at First National City Bank have ananswer to give housewives, but many people will not like it. These economistsblame the housewife herself for the jump in food prices. They say that foodcosts more now because women don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Womenprefer to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches themarket.
6 Vegetables and chicken cost more when they have been cut intopieces by someone other than the one who buys it. A family should expect to paymore when several “TV dinners” are taken home from the store. These are fullycooked meals, consisting of meat, vegetables, and sometimes desert, all arrangedon a metal dish. The dish is put into the oven and heated while the housewife isdoing something else. Such a convenience costs money. Thus, as economists pointout: “Some of the basic reasons for widening food price spreads are easilytraceable to the increasing use of convenience foods, which transfer much of thetime and work of meal preparation from the kitchen to the food processor’splant.”
7 Economists remind us that many modern housewives have jobsoutside the home. They earn money that helps to pay the family food bills. Thehousewife naturally has less time and energy for cooking after a day’s work. Shewants to buy many kinds of food that can be put on her family’s table easily andquickly. “If the housewife wants all of these,” the economists say, “that is herprivilege, but she must be prepared to pay for the services of those who makeher work easier.”
8 It appears that the answer to the question of risingprices is not a simple one. Producers, consumers, and middlemen all share theresponsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.

Egypt felled byfamine
Even ancient Egypts mighty pyramid builders were powerless in theface of the famine that helped bring down their civilian around 2180BC. Nowevidence gleaned from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift inclimate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blem -- and thesame or worse could happen today.
The ancient Egyptians depended on theNiles annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate thatpushed the African monsoons southwards out of Ethiopia would have diminishedthese floods.
Dwindling rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meantfewer plants to establish the soil. When rain did fall it would have washedlarge amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt, along with sedimentfrom the White Nile.
The Blue Nile mud has a different isotope signaturefrom that of the White Nile. So by analyzing isotope differences in muddeposited in the Nile Delta, Michael Krom of leeds University worked out whatproportion of sediment came from each branch of the river.
Krom reasonsthat during periods of drought, the amount of the Blue Nile mud in the riverwould be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4,500 to4,200 years ago, immediately predates the fall of the Egypts OldKingdom.
The weakened waters would have been catastrophic for theEgyptians. Changes that affect food supply dont have to be very large to have aripple effect in societies, says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty EarthObservatory in New York.
Similar events today could be even moredevastating, says team member Daniel Stanley, a geoarchaeologist from theSmithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.. Anything humans do to shift theclimate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system because thepopulations have increased dramatically.
1. Why does the author mentionpyramid builders?
A. because they once worked miracles.
B. becausethey were well-built
C. because they were actually very weak
D.because even they were unable to rescue their civilization
2. Which of thefollowing factors was ultimately responsible for the fall of the civilization ofancient Egypt?
A. Change of climate
B. famine
C. food
D.population growth
3. Which of the following statements is true?
A. TheWhite Nile is the trunk of the River Nile
B. The White Nile is the trunk ofthe Blue Bile
C. The White Nile a branch of the Blue Nile
D. The WhiteNile and the Blue Nile are branches of the River Nile
4. According to Krom,Egypts Old Kingdom fell
A. immediately after a period of drought
B.immediately after a period of flood
C. just before a drought struck
D.just before a flood struck
5. The word devastating in the last paragraphcould be best replaced by
A. frustrating
B. damaging
C.defeating
D. worrying

The Greatest Mystery ofWhales (鲸鱼)
The whale is a mammal(哺乳动物)- warm-blooded, air-breathing,giving birth to its young alive, sucking them - and, like all mammals,originated on land. There are many signs of this. 1 front flippers(鳍状肢), usedfor steering and stability, are traces of feet.
Immense strength is builtinto the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whale's body is onegigantic(强有力的)muscle. The blue whale's pulling 2 has been estimated at 400horsepower. One specimen was reported to have 3 a whaling vessel for seven hoursat the 4 of eight knots.
An enraged whale will attack a ship. A famous 5 ofthis was the fate of whaler Essex, which was sunk 6 South America early in thelast century. More recently, steel ships have had their plates buckled in thesame way. Sperm whales were known to 7 the old-time whaleboats in their jaws andcrush them.
The greatest mystery of whales is their diving ability. Thesperm whale 8 the bottom for his favorite food, the octopus. 9 he is known to goas far down as 3,200 feet, where the pressure is 1,400 pounds, to the squareinch. Doing 10 he will remain submerged as long as one hour. Two feats areinvolved in this: storing up enough 11 (all whales are air-breathed)andwithstanding the great change in pressure. Just 12 he does it scientists havenot determined. It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a specialsystem of blood vessels, rather than just held in the lungs. And 13 that aspecial kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating mechanism thatautomatically adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But 14 you can'tbring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one just 15 how thesethings work.
