1.America is the world's largest food exporter (出口商).But the worst drought (干旱) in half a century is hitting corn and wheat harvests.
By twenty-fifty,the world will have to produce at least sixty percent more food to feed more and more people.China,a major food importer (進口商),is looking to producers around the world to make sure it can get enough food in the future.
The serious drought in the United States is adding to care about world food and prices.China has invested (投資) in food production in Australia and New Zealand.A new source (來源) of food is Ukraine.Ukraine was known as the breadbasket of Europe because of rich corn and wheat harvests a century ago.
Galyna Kovtok is chief manager of Ukraine's largest agricultural business,ULF.She says that within a few months her company will export corn to China.That will make Ukraine the first country outside the Americas to do so.Across the Black Sea area-in Ukraine,Russia and Kazakhstan-drought this year is pushing harvests down by fifteen to twenty percent.
Traditionally,the Black Sea area is the main source of wheat for North Africa and the Middle East.But this year,Russia may have to suspend exports.However,Africa and the Middle East are now having competition with China.

9.It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food.
Cherie Blair,the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,said that she would prepare a p(81)ackedlunch for some if school dinners do not improve.So what do
students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan
High schools have canteens,which serv everything from noodles to rice,but not burgers and chips.Other  children bring food from home such as cold rice balls,meat or fish,pickles and vegetables.
Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition
value.Twice a year parents are invited to have a  t(82)asteof the food.The class with
the fewest leftovers at the end of the month receives a prize.
United States
A typical menu from the u s school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken,lettuce and pickles,fruit and cookies.School lunches must also p(83)rovideat least one third of the daily dietary allowances of protein vitamin A,vitamins C,calcium and calories.
Australia
Meat pies sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops.But as the nation pays more attention to c(84)hildren'shealth,healthier foods have
started to find their way onto school menus.
Many schools have used a traffic light system.The sale of red labeled foods,
including pastries,chocolate and soft drinks,is served only twice a week.Healthier
green labeled foods such as sushi,sandwich,corn and watermelon,however,are a(85)vailable every day.In some schools,students have a choice of up to 89 foodsto choose from,including popcorn and rice.
South Africa
Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all.Classes end at1:30p.m.
and students get their own lunches.Many students bring food from home,u(86)suallysandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students,which has led to a rise in obesity among children.But as more  people began to realize the fact that b(87)eingtoo fat may cause different diseases,some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition.Now students at these schools are offered lunches of porridge with vegetables,such as cabbage,onions,beans,carrots and tomatoes.

②The gardener stopped watering the vegetables and the tree.
