Profiles
Carolina
Hi, I’m Carolina and I’m 21 years old. I live in Berlin, but I was born in the south of Italy. We moved he re from Italy when I was 14 because of my father’s work. I’m half German, half Italian. I started working in the family business a few years ago –we have a jeweller’s shop. I work in the shop every afternoon except Sundays, but it’s a bit boring. The city is OK but I never have time to enjoy it –everything is so hectic. I often miss Italy.
Rashid
My name’s Rashid. I’m 24 and I live in London. I’m Indian, but I was born here in the UK. My parents came here from Bombay (we call it Mumbai now) at the end of the 1960s. London’s a great place to be for me because I study architecture and there are lots of interesting buildings around. Every day I see something new. I don’t want to live anywhere else.
Linda
My name’s Linda. I’m 25 and live in a small town outs ide Vancouver. My mother is Spanish and my father comes from Lagos in Nigeria. We speak English, French and Spanish at home. I work as a teacher in the local school. It’s a great job but very tiring because I get up very early every morning.
Before, I worked as a secretary–I didn’t like it at all! I really like the town I live in, although it’s very cold in winter. Cities like Vancouver are just too big for me.
1Everybody’s parents have different nationalities.

Rat race rebels
Most of us are trapped in a nine-to-five office routine and many of us would like to escape. We interviewed three people who have said ―No!‖ to this rat race…
Fiona
After university, I was on the dole for a few months. I didn’t have any money, so I was really pleased to get an office job… but it was very boring! I gave it up and went to do voluntary work for the VSO – V oluntary Service Overseas –in Rwanda. I teach old people and children to read and write. It’s not the most comfortable of jobs but it’s great to be doing something of real use for once.
Andy
I used to be a freelance news journalist. It was very stressful and I had to travel a lot. I applied for loads of other jobs with no success, so I started to think about my real interest – football! Now, I work from home and write football articles for press agencies around the world. It’s a full-time job but I have much more free tim e. I’m my own boss and I can get up when I want!
Emma
I used to be a teacher and I worked 40 hours a week. Then, I saw the movie American Beauty and thought I could change my life too! I did a course in acupuncture and shiatsumassage. I took four years to get qualified but now I have set up my own business. Shiatsu is very popular these days because people are so stressed and you can earn quite good money.
1 Fiona didn’t have a job for a while.
2 Andy has turned an interest into a profession.
3 Fiona has her own company.
4 Fiona feels she is doing something useful.

Your Weekend in Lisbon with Sunshine Tours
Congratulations on booking your holiday with Sunshine Tours!!Here’s your trav el itinerary for the long weekend.
THURSDAY 18th June
A Sunshine Tours rep will meet you at Lisbon airport and a coach will take you to your hotel.
FRIDAY 19th June
In the morning，we will take one of the city’s famous yellow trams up to the Castelo de S?o Jorge, with fabulous views over the city. The afternoon is free for you to explore the Baixa district with its interesting shops and cafés. In the evening, we will go to the Bairro Alto area for dinner and to hear the wonderfully melancholy fado music.
SATURDAY 20th June
A day of contrasts. In the morning, a trip to the oldest neighbourhood, Alfama. Its little cobbled streets are charming but it is also one of the poorest parts of the city. We will have lunch in the central Pra?a do Comércio and then take the metro to the modern Parque das Na??es — the site of the Expo, which has some stunning architecture. In the evening, you are free to enjoy whatever part of the city you wish.
SUNDAY 21st June
A coach will take us out of the city to visit Sintra, summer residence of the kings of Portugal. Here, we will see the breathtaking Palácio Nacional and walk around Sintra’s beautiful woods and parks. On our way back, we will stop at Cascais, just half an hour from the capital. This is a real Portuguese beach resort, full of local people and crammed with restaurants, beach cafés and discos. After a relaxing dinner on the beach, the coach will take us back to the hotel. Our return flight leaves early on Monday morning.

2 On Saturday afternoon, you will visit an old part of the city.
3Cascais is popular with Portuguese people.

Chocoholics
Everybody loves chocolate. A cup of cocoa before going to bed or a Mars bar on the bus – the British are obsessed with it. The average Briton eats 10kg of chocolate a year. Women eat far more chocolate than men, an amazing 67% of total chocolate consumption. And the most popular snack is KitKat – fifty are eaten every second in the UK.
Chocoholics are people with a chocolate obsession. But are they addicts? Not according to recent research. This shows that chocolate is not as addictive as coffee – in fact，there is no proof that
chocolate creates addiction at all. And it’s a lot better for you than we thought. Some scientists say that it releases the same chemicals that your body produces when you are in love. Now that can’t be a bad thing!
Some more good news –it doesn’t raise your cholesterol level or give you acne, as people believe, and it can even be good for your teeth! It does, however, contain caffeine and is bad if you get headaches. So the least sensible time to eat it is at night.
The British love chocolate but they are not as obsessed as the Swiss. The Swiss are officially the world’ greatest chocolate eaters – but then Swiss chocolate is the best!
1Women buy less chocolate than men.
2There is evidence that chocolate is addictive.
3Chocolate contains caffeine.
4You should avoid chocolate if you suffer from migraines.
5The world’s greatest chocolate eaters are the British.

Found Safe and Sound

Discovered…Naked and Drunk
Hollywood resident Helen Hicks was stopped by police early on Sunday morning after dancing around her neighbourhood with no clothes on. Hicks has drunk half a bottle of vodka after an argument with her rock guitarist boyfriend Johnny Hedges. A friend says that Ms Hicks was suffering depression.
Hospitalised
Li on tamer Sergei Ivanov was seriously injured by his lion, Sheba, during last night’s performance of the Moscow Circus. Ivanov has worked in the circus for over 25 years. He was taken to Springfields General Hospital last night. Doctors say that he is lucky to be alive.

Digital Natives
David is not very comfortable with new technology and he does not have many gadgets. Lucy loves new technology. She owns a games console, an MP3 player, and a mobile phone with a built-in digital camera. David is a teacher. Lucy is his student.
Like Lucy, many children grow up using computers almost every day and often know more about technology than adults. Educator Marc Prensky calls children like Lucy ―digital natives‖. Digital natives can quickly learn how to use new gadgets and new software, while non-digital natives spend a lot of time reading manuals and worrying about computer viruses. In fact, many parents try to save time by asking their children to teach them how to use new technology!
The divide between digital natives and non-digital natives can cause problems at school because students and teachers grow up with very different ideas about technology. Many teachers think that playing computer games is a waste of time and that technology has made children unable to concentrate. However, many students think their classes are slow and boring, and want to use computers to study.
Prensky believes that digital natives have learned a lot from technology, but that they learn things in a different way. For example, reading a website is different from reading a book, so digital natives are good at finding the information they need and choosing what they want to read. So perhaps teachers need to change the way they teach and use more technology in class – because the number of digital natives will keep increasing!
1 David is a digital native.
2 Marc Prensky is interested in teaching with technology.
3 Digital natives are comfortable using laptops and flash drives.
4 Many teachers think computer games are only for having fun or killing time.
5 People read books and websites in the same way.

Spanglish
In which city can you read signs like ―Aparca your car aquí‖ or ―Cuidado con los pickpockets‖? Travelguide investigates.
1.2 million Hispanics live in the Big Apple and one in five New Yorkers speaks Spanish at home. In the last ten years, the Hispanic population has grown by 400 000. This reflects the enormous
increase in the Hispanic population in the States. There are now 42 million Hispanics resident in the USA, representing 15% of the total population.
There is a new language, SPANGLISH –a strange mixture of Spanish and English –which is invading the city. The New York Times recently said that it had b ecome the city’s third official language. Its use is colloquial and often limited to short sentences and signs. Many New Yorkers now wear socketines on their feet, drop something on the carpeta, shop for grocerias and have cornfley(―cornflakes‖) for break fast.
Norma Rodríguez, a 45-year-old Cuban living in Washington Heights, says it forms a part of her life now: ―Sometimes, you don’t realize that you’re mixing the two languages. You just hear them both all the time and find that you’re inventing new words.‖ Other people, however, are fighting against this new street language. Businessman Juan Cortés sees it as a sign that the Spanish language is being destroyed. ―It’s difficult, but I try not to speak it –it feels vulgar to me.‖
Meanwhile, a surprising number of academics have spoken in favour of Spanglish. José María Ruiz, from NY State University, even runs courses in Spanglish and has written a dictionary. ―It is a dialogue between two languages and cultures. We have to accept that languages change and evolve. The only languages that never change are dead ones.‖
1 The Spanish-speaking population has grown very fast recently.
2 More people are interested in studying Spanish than before.
3 Spanglish is mainly used in formal contexts.
4 Norma Rodríguez d oesn’t notice when she is speaking Spanglish.
5 Juan Cortés doesn’t speak Spanglish because he feels stupid when he tries.

London:Melting Pot of Cultures
Did you know that London is one of the most multicultural cities in the world? Here, there are about 300 different cultures living side by side. Forget tea and sandwiches, now it is more common for a Londoner to drink cappuccino for breakfast, and eat Thai food for lunch in the local pub. Let’s see how life has changed in Britain’s capital.
A India
Most people from India arrived in London in the 1950s and 60s. Now there is a strong Asian presence here –in the shops, markets and, of course, the restaurants. In fact, curry is Britain’s favorite takeaway meal. A typical family has a curry every two weeks, either delivered or bought ready-made from the supermarket. Indian people live all over London. Southall, in the far west of the city, is one of many places well known for its Indian culture.
B Poland
This community represents more than 1% of the UK’s total population and is growing rapidly. In London, many Polish people live in the Hammersmith area, in the west of the city. Here, there are several Catholic churches, and delicatessens which sell the country’s specialities such as beetroot soup (barszcz) or Polish cakes and snacks. Were they right to come? Young Poles say they can easily earn three times as much money here as at home, where unemployment remains high.
C West Africa
West Africans – mainly from Ghana and Nigeria – have brought a wealth of languages, music and culture to the British capital. Many London markets sell their traditional foods like yams and different types of rice. A lot of Nigerians live in the south-east London area, in suburbs like Deptford.
1. When did most people from India arrive in London?
A The 1950s and 60s.

NIKE
The history
Nike started business in the sixties when its founders Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman met at the University of Oregon. In the mid-eighties, their success grew when famous sportsmen such as basketball king Michael Jordan wore Nike gear. In 1987, they launched the Nike Air range and a year later the famous ―Just do it‖ slogan. Nike now sell more sports clothes and equipment than any
other company.
The logo
The Nike logo is called the ―Swoosh‖. It represents the wing of Nike, the Ancient Greek goddess of victory. Caroline Davidson created it in 1971. She earned only $35 for her design. The first shoe with this logo came out in 1972 and now it is everywhere.

Harold C Humphreys left school at the age of 13, and in 1920 started a small workshop in the north-east of England.

Since then, Umbro has had links with some of the world’s greatest football clubs, teams and players. In the 1966 World Cup, 15 out of the 16 teams, including the winners, England, wore Umbro shirts.
Thelogo
The famous ―double diamond‖ logo has not changed in half a century. Indeed, between 1954 and 1994 Brazil won four World Cups wearing this famous design.

THORPEDO!
Ian Thorpe was born in Paddington, Australia on 13th October 1982. His father, Ken, always wanted him to be a cricketer. But when Ian overcame a childhood allergy to chlorine, his only dream was to join his sister Christine in the pool.
It’s easy t o see why. His 1.95 metres, 96 kilos and size 54 feet give him an awesome presence in the water. It was his feet which brought him his first nickname, ―Flipper‖. He swims so fast that he seems to fly through the water. So how did it all start?
Thorpe made his first appearance in international competition at the age of 14. His greatest feat came only three years later when he won three gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. His success and popularity have done much to raise the profile of the sport.
Australia is a nation of water babies. 85% of its population live within 30 miles of the beach and its swimmers enjoy a pin-up status similar to footballers like David Beckham in the UK. In fact, for a time, Thorpe was Australia’s number one national hero. There were special Australian stamps to celebrate his victories in the Olympics. Now, there is even a fragrance called ―Ian Thorpe for Men‖ and a range of men’s underwear.
But in spite of this superstar status, Ian has a friendly relationship with the media. He is happy to discuss his love of philosophy, grunge music, Japanese food, computer games and Armani clothes. However, not all media work is light-hearted. Since his retirement from professional swimming in 2006, he has founded his own charity call ed ―Fountain for Youth‖. This organisation fights to bring positive changes to children’s lives by improving health and education, especially for Aboriginal communities in Australia.

B Fountain for Youth.
C Flipper.
3. What did Ian win at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games?

B Three silver medals.
C Three bronze medals.
4. Which of the following is to celebrate Ian’s victories in the Olympic?

The hamburger was invented in 1889, and the first McDonald’s opened in 1948 in San Bernadino, California. Now a new McDonald’s restaurant opens every eight hours somewhere in the world. The restaurant chain serves about 45 million customers ever y day. The corporation’s yellow M is recognized by people all over the world as a symbol of dynamism, happiness and, above all, America.

It is estimated that 200 million cans or bottles of coke are sold every 24 hours. 80% of Coca-Cola’s profits now come from outside the United States.

Nearly 150 years later, this Finnish company is the world’s largest mobile phone p roducer and accounts for more than a quarter of Finland’s total economy. Nokia was the pioneer of mobile phone communication. In fact, the first text message was sent by the mayor of Helsinki on a Nokia mobile in 1991.

Languages in Danger!
There are over 6 000 languages in the world today, but experts have published a study which predicts that more than half of these will become extinct within the next hundred years. They give three main reasons why these languages are in danger.
One reason is invasion. Countries take over other areas where people speak a different language. This means that the people need to start speaking the language of their new rulers.
Another reason is migration. This could be because of war, disaster or the search for work. When they move to a new country, these people need to learn the local language.
Because so many people speak these languages, they have become the major global languages in business, films, music, and the internet. This means that even more people want to learn them and, as a result, they become even more dominant. English, for example, is now spoken as a first or additional language by over 1 billion people –nearly a sixth of the world’s population.
This dominance clearly causes smaller languages to die out. Some people think that this is a good thing. They say that communication will be easier, cheaper and quicker. Others believe we should protect endangered languages. These people believe that when a language dies, many of the traditions of the speakers are lost too. They argue that we can use the language to learn a lot about the history and culture of the people that speak it.
1. How many languages will die out according to some experts?
A Over 6000.
B Over 3000.
C Over 100.
2. Which is not the reason why some languages are in danger?
A Invasion.
B Migration.
C Communication.
3. How many people speak English in the world?
A Over 1,000,000,000.
B Over 100,000,000.
C Over 10,000,000.
4. What does the underlined dominant in Paragraph 4 mean?
A More powerful and important than other people or things.

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Into the Unknown The world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope? Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable. For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare. Since then the debate has become less emotional, not least because a lot more is known about the subject. Books, conferences and research papers have multiplied. International organisations such as the OECD and the EU issue regular reports. Population ageing is on every agenda, from G8 economic conferences to NATO summits. The World Economic Forum plans to consider the future of pensions and health care at its prestigious Davos conference early next year. The media, including this newspaper, are giving the subject extensive coverage. Whether all that attention has translated into sufficient action is another question. Governments in rich countries now accept that their pension and health-care promises will soon become unaffordable, and many of them have embarked on reforms, but so far only timidly. That is not surprising: politicians with an eye on the next election will hardly rush

Conversation One M: And now, for the latter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste. W: That’s right, John. This week, the Italian government passed legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food waste in the country. Q1:New laws have been put into place that will make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate and sell foods to those who are in need. M: Yes, in an addition to this, businesses will now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste. W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, Q2:the European parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste. M: In France, Q3:the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations. W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United Sates, up to 40% of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, Q4:one major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government.

201506 For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying"Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it. " You can give an example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 命题分析 本题要求评论英国教士Thomas Fuller的一句名言：“知识是一种财富，但实践是打开财富的钥匙。” 并要求可以给出一个或两个例子来阐述你的观点。显而易见，本题考查理论知识与实践技能之间的关系， 这是雅思[微博]写作反复考察过的话题。 写作思路解析 1、本题首段应该通过理论知识与实践技能之间的关系引出主题； 2、第二段可以进行举例论证，列举自己参加兼职打工、志愿者活动等亲身经验证明实践技能的重要 性； 3、尾段可以进行归纳结论或提出建议措施：一方面我们应该努力积累理论知识，另一方面我们应该 积极培养自己的实践技能。 参考范文： Would you want a doctor to operate on you who has only learned about operations from a textbook? The answer to this is obviously a resounding “No!”Knowledge gained from books must always be complemented by knowledge gained from actual experience, to be of real value。 For me actually practicing a particular action or experiment myself and experiencing the result, leaves a much deeper and lasting impression than what I get from simply reading or listening. If I read about how to write an essay or listened to someone ta lk about writing an essay, I still wouldn’t feel that I knew how to write an essay until I wrote one for myself. It is the case, however, that writing the essay would be based on the methods I learned intellectually. The same can be said for other skills, like sports, for example. A person can know all the rules of a game, associated skills and strategies, but until that person gets on a court with a ball in motion, the theory remains flat, useless。 To sum up, as to theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the latter is certainly more important. Just as British churchman Thomas Fuller put it, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it。” 参考译文 一个大夫只学过课本上的手术知识，叫他给你主刀你是否愿意？显然，这个问题的答案是一声响亮 的“不”。书本知识要有实际价值，就必须同实践经验相结合。 对我来说，实践某件事，或者说亲自去尝试某项活动并感受最后的结果，要比读书听课给我留下的 印象更深刻，更持久。如果只是读到如何写作，或是听别人讲解写作方法，我觉得自己还是不会写，非 得亲自写一篇才行。当然，实际写作中也会用到以前学过的写作方法。掌握其他技能也是一个道理。以 体育为例，一个人可以通晓所有的比赛规则和相关战术技巧，但除非这个人上场打球，否则那堆理论就 是呆板无用的。 总之，对于理论知识和实践技能，相比之下，实践经验当然更重要。正如英国教士托马斯富勒所说： “知识是一种财富，但实践是打开财富的钥匙。” For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on Alert Einstein'sremark "I have no special talents.

(完整版)大学英语四级真题解析【2017年6月版】
大学英语四级真题解析【2017年6月版】 新东方在线四六级赵奇 亲爱的同学们，大家好，非常荣幸给大家讲解我们四级的真题，我是四级翻译的主讲老师。今年四级翻译依然延续了往年的方式，从2016年开始，考的主题基本是同质性的。2016年12月份考三篇文章关于红色、黄色、白色，今年的主题也是一样的，考的长江、珠江和黄河，我们可以预测以后的四级翻译都是统一题材下三个不同的主体，这样有利于考试的公平。 下面主要对今年的四级翻译真题进行解析，包括一些长短句的解析和难词的解析，最后我们把答案给大家呈现出来，大家可以看一下。我们四级翻译的解析讲两方面的内容，第一是真题总评，第二是对第一、二、三套真题的解析。 首先，真题总评 2017年4月份的真题总评是2016年12月份的延续。2016年是红色、白色和黄色，2017年是珠江、长江和黄河，范文字数提高到了110-120左右。难度和范文字数都增加了，难度高于2016年真题，2016年12月份真题是放水之年，今年是平稳的态势。 第三是和考试相关的内容，大家考四级翻译的时候应该注意什么？我们发现今年介词短语的形式做后置定语和做状语是大量考查的。时态方面也有大量的考查，有过去时和现在完成时，大家备考的时候要注意时态。我们发现今年有一个新的课程，主题词汇，四级翻译出题不是随便出的，是根据历史文化经济发展来出的，以往的重要性凸显的不是很明显，今年考试中大量考查主题词汇，我估计很多同学写长江、珠江和黄河都会写错，但单词错了也只是扣一次的分数。 其次，逐篇讲解真题 第一篇文章，很多同学看到珠江是蒙的状态，长江黄河不会说，珠怎么说？珍珠不知道怎么
写。同学们，加勒比海盗5里提到的船叫Black Pearl，pearl就是珍珠的意思，所以珠江就是Pearl River。有的人说不会写，你会写汉语拼音吗？后面可以加一个River就可以了。如果丢了river怎么办？这是单词写作的错误，不会影响整体翻译的大局，只扣一次的分数。或者写一次珠江，后面用it来替代，翻译的时候要灵活应用。 接着我们进行翻译里边的难词解析，这里边应该有四个比较把握不准的单词，第一是珠江流经广州市，流经用flow through，我写了flow accross可不可以？flow accross也是可以的。有同学说不会写flow，写了run也是可以的，还有同学说run也不会写，写go through 可以吗？这个是经历了什么事情，不是流经了，所以是不可以的。第二个单词是城市聚集区，urban agglomeration，这个词既不是四级也不是六级，我个人认为这个词有点超纲，有的同学不会写agglomeration，这没有什么实质影响，可以进行同义词或近义词替换。我们在翻译的时候有很多不认识的词语怎么办？可以使用它的同义词或近义词。聚集区不会说，可以用地区area替换，城市聚集区，不会写agglomeration，可以写成area。第三个单词是改革开放。不会写这个单词的同学要反思一下自己，但凡上过我们新东方课的同学知道，改革开放一定是讲过的。改革reform，开放opening up，改革开放就是the reform and opening up。制造中心是manufacturing center，很多同学不会写manufacturing，不会写就变成工业中心，因为制造肯定属于工业，制造中心翻译成industrial center也可以，依据同近词替换法，翻译主要忠于原文，制造中心翻译成工业中心industrial center也是可以的。 下面给大家解析一下两个比较复杂的句子。 第一个句子：珠江是河南一大河流，流经广州市，是中国第三场河流，仅次于长江和黄河。为什么把这句挑出来解析？大家发现这句非常奇特，在中国看来这句话没有任何问题，但是翻译成英文有三个逗号，这就犯了语法的错误。大家知道，英文一个句子有一个主谓结

W: That’s right John. This week the Italian government pass legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food wasted in the country. New laws have been put into place that would make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate unsold foods to those who are in need. M: Yes. And in addition to this, businesses would now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste. W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, the European Parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste. M: In France, the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations. W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United States, up to forty percent of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, one major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government. M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here. We turn now to a spokesperson from

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: In the 1920s demand for American farm products fell, as European countries began to recover from World War Ⅰand instituted austerity(紧缩) programs to reduce their imports. The result was a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. The prices of the items farmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1930s. In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized. It established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers. President Hoover's successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the first measures proposed by President Franklin D.Roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress. This law gave the Secretary of Agriculture the power to reduce production through voluntary agreements with farmers who were paid to take their land out of use. A deliberate scarcity of farm products was planned in an effort to raise prices. This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people. However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result ofresting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation. The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nation's soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens. Later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid(杂交) grain, and fertilizers. 21. What brought about the decline in the demand for American farm products?
