City people are used to seeing tall buildin

19、gs and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural(農(nóng)村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earths population could live in cities. I

20、n addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices dont change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical farms, where urban farmers could g

21、row crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be f

22、ree of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during th

23、e day, it wouldnt be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources(來源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers

24、 suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.1、What primary problem could vertical farming settle?APoor state of rural life.BShortage of

36、，and practiced walking，standing，and balanceall skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality.I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work.Despite this，everyone else told me I could do it，so I kept it up.It was all because of people like my parents，brothers，teachers

37、，and doctors that I was able to grow so much，both physically and mentally.Constantly pushing me to“walk on，”yet encouraging me whenever I needed it.On June 9，2008，as I stood in the tunnel leading into Main Street，My dad asked me if I wanted any help.I instantly replied，“No!”and situated myself facin

44、 kids out of criminal trouble in the future.Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than 7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were ra

45、ndomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪), arrests and

46、use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social an

47、d self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(

48、情緒的) intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision.Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in ou

49、r system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in delinquency.1、Fast Track was intended for children who .Awere randomly chosen from thei
