First, there are no jobs for the children's parents, so they have no money to buy food or        . Second, the governments in many African countries do not have the money to take care of poor people.
Most African counties are poor. The land is not good for    food and the weather is also bad for farming. The Feed Africa Fund    a lot of money every year on food for poor people in Africa. The money comes      people like you-kind, generous people who do not want to see children die from hunger. Just one dollar can buy enough rice or corn to    a family of four for three days.

Most of us have three meals a day .We take food for granted(想当然)。And we don’t think about it.           experts argue a food crisis(危机)is coming.This crisis is going to make us             the way we think about food.
Food is in great need             a growing of world population.By 1960,the population was three billion.It doubled to six billion by 1999.By 2050,this planet will need to             at least nine billion people.As a result,the food prices get higher and higher.
So,what can a            ,crowed world do?One suggestion is to eat            meat.Meat uses more natural resources(资源)than grains(谷物) .It requires more            to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more            than vegetables. So ,eating less meat will           more land for farming,and it will save water.
To eats less meat,people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be          .Americans, for example,have            loved meat. In general, They eat twice as much meat as people in other countries.At the same time,in developing countries like China and Brazil,sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years.          will double again by 2050.Growing need of meat wil1            to put pressure on natural resources.
World population is increasing,resources are becoming fewer,and food prices are rising.Therefore, we need to rethink          we eat every day. For meat lovers, we don’t need to give up meat            .But we need to eat more grains and less meat.21cnjy

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old       in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place       you live. Some people worry       young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring 忽视Chinese culture and, instead,      Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good,       Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can       have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:      friendliness. Not all countries are as        as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn      them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but       you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
