Have you ever thought about what our food will be in the future?

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables. In this way, people may be healthier.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Only about 29%of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.

    Besides, though rice supports more than half the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Therefore, it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}The soybean (黄豆) makes a good substitute (替代品) for rice and meat.

    It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. "iPhone, iPhone, iPhone," my son kept moaning (呻吟). In front of him was a big window of facing the blue ocean. And a Coo gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.

    Back at home, I'd soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning

    But not here. Before we left, I had told my, 10-year-old son the rule-no e-mails, no Facebook, no video games, and no iPhone. We came here to get away from them all' Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn't stand it.

    ____________I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.

    On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells(贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He collected .shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.

    The next few days passed in peace.

    On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was somethingshining.in his eyes, I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly, without thinking about screens, phone calls and e-mails.

    A week away from all the electronics and life is good.

    It was a sunny morning. A poor(贫穷的) young man with 1 right hand came to Mrs. Brown's door. He asked her for some 2.

Mrs. Brown 3, "You see, young man. There are some bricks(砖头) behind my house. If you help me 4 them to the front, I'll pay you twenty dollars."

    "Can't you see that I lost my right hand? 5 can I do it?" The old lady smiled, put one of her hands behind her body 6 then picked up one brick with 7. Seeing this, the young man didn't say a word and started to work right away.

    After he did the work, the young man 8 with the money from Mrs. Brown and he looked a little different.

    Two years later, the young man came again with some gifts. "Thank you for 9 that day. I know you didn't need me to do the work. You just wanted to make me feel better. I learnt that I could make money by working hard, too. And now I have a pancake store and a beautiful wife."

    Think 10 and you will make your life better.
