26、International Agriculture at Texas A&M University, once accompanied Dr Borlaug to Russia, where he visited a wheat research institute south of Moscow. “When Norman came in,” Price said, “the scientists at the institute all cried.”From the 1970s until his death, he increasingly took the politically i

27、ncorrect view that environmentalists were bothering world food production by attacking the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药).Dr Borlaugs career included his ability of science to increase food production at a high rate and the nightmare(噩梦)of an exploding population beyond its ability

28、to feed itself His work took him from the Iowa farm where he grew up to the primitively planted wheat fields of Mexico in the 1940s, the rice fields of Asia in the 1960s and 1970s to the plains of Africa in the 1980s.In his lecture accepting the Nobel Prize, he said an enough supply of food is “the

32、o was the first Asian host invited by Winfrey.Chen took Winfrey and her US audience on a tour through her office, studio and dressing room as well as offering a special guided tour around Beijings famous Houhai area and the capitals popular 798 art district.

33、morable interviews including HIV victims and lesbian couples.“Chinese people have a wide understanding about Western countries, but it is not the other way around, which causes misunderstanding,” Chen says. “I have interviewed more than 3000 guests who come from various classes and working backgroun

34、ds. They tell their stories and my audience shows great respect.”Known as “Chinas Oprah”, the 39-year-old TV personality decided to model her show, A Date With Luyu, on the Winfreys popular show after visiting the US more than a decade ago. “It is flattering to be called Chinas Oprah, which means pe

35、ople say you are really good,” she says, “I am curious and ask some tough questions. But I tend to be protective of my guests. If they dont want to answer those questions, thats fine.” Over the past 10 years of being a public face in a rapidly changing China, she has gone from interviewing celebriti

36、es(名流) to talking with people from all walks of life.Her guests share their story with a live audience of 300 and a viewing audience of more than 60 million every day. “It has become more than a show,” Chen says, “Chinese audience tend to be shy.

37、s show, who would shout and scream,” she says, “but Chinese audience can respond to the interviewees stories and show me their smiles and tears.”Chens daily chat show is on Phoenix satellite television station, the first foreign-funded station to be beamed into the mainland. Winfrey was surprised by

In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than s

42、mall cars. As a result, European automakers used to make a wider variety of compact(小型的)cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all

43、 over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in automobile preferences. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon of gas. This increased gas mileage makes the cars more economical to run.Ot

44、her reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many old cities have narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is easier to drive than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead, they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable f

45、or large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gas.But in the 1970s, there were gas shortages in the United States. The price of gas went up. Though large cars were st

46、ill more popular than small cars, sales of small cars that used less gas increased.

Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest grow

47、ing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans (微型客货车)and sport utility (多用途的)vehicles. They are very popular today.

75、 keep a healthy diet. Wanghui is a distinguished student in my class and always highly spoken of by our teachers. However, faced with the pressure of the national college entrance examination, she had been working hard. Sometimes, she even went to school without breakfast or lunch. Day by day, she g

76、ot weaker and weaker, resulting in her feeling sleepy in class. Yesterday, its a pity that she should fail in the English exam.
