              If you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better have a few billion dollars: Mom﹣and﹣pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best of the major players. By connecting directly with customers, and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems(生态系统), small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys. As the co﹣founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC, 美国青年农会)and a family farmer myself, I have a front﹣row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are transforming the industry.

                  For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer, Jonathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a local Slow Money group. It enables small﹣scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour﹣a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand﹣suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California. Before the tool came out, small farmers couldn't touch the price per pound offered by California farms. But now, with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business.

                  The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won't happen without fundamental changes to the industry. One crucial factor is secure access to land. Competition from investors,developers, and established large farmers makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers.From 2004 to 2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise in many regions.

                  Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non﹣existent path to citizenship ﹣ the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own. With farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering(多于)farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with two﹣thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear the path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food.

                  There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy,but farmers can't clumsily put them together before us. We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farmers from all backgrounds. With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress, consumers must take a stand with young farmers.

              A. the progress made in car industry

              B. a special feature of agriculture

              C. a trend of development in agriculture

              D. the importance of investing in car industry

              (2) What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2?_____

              A. Loans to small local farmers are necessary.

              B. Technology is vital for agricultural development.

              C. Competition between small and big farms is fierce.

              D. Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones.

              (3) What is the difficulty for those new famers?_____

              A. To gain more financial aid.

              B. To hire good farm managers.

              C. To have farms of their own.

              D. To win old farmers' support.

              (4) What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy?_____

              A. Seek support beyond NYFC.

              B. Expand farmland conservation.

              C. Become members of NYFC.

              D. Invest more to improve technology.

              FLORENCE,Italy-Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt.The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly,but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.
              Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits,or in some cases,citizenship.
              Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs,such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation,seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.
              Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants,and some terms are even tougher.The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.
              Italy,which has a much weaker tradition of immigration,has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years.In 1990,immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people,or about 2 percent.At the start of this year,foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million,or 7.5 percent,with immigrants'children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.
              Cojochru,the Moldovan caregiver,hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova,where salaries are among the lowest in Europe.She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.
              Italians always"see me as a foreigner,"an outsider,even though she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently,she said.

              (1) Why does Cojochru have to take a language test? ______
              A. To continue to stay in Italy.
              B. To teach her children Italian.
              C. To find a better job in Italy.
              D. To better mix with the Italians.
              (2) Some people worry that the new language requirement may ______
              A. reduce Italy's population quickly
              B. cause conflicts among people
              C. lead to financial difficulties
              D. put pressure on schools
              (3) What do we know about Cojochru? ______
              A. She lives with her sister now in Italy.
              B. She enjoys learning the Italian language.
              C. She speaks Italian well enough for her job.
              D. She wishes to go back to her home country.
