E. The different situations at home and abroad. |

The long years of food shortage in Britain have suddenly given way to huge food supply. Stores and shops are crowded with food. Rationing(定量供应) has already seemed too distant to today’s Britons. Even overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and worries. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the surface huge amount of food only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home?

The recent growth of food supply on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because two continuous big grain harvests in North America are now being followed by a third. Most of Britain’s overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.

Then why is the food situation in Britain still faulty? On the one hand, The Br
itish government has gradually cut down support for food. On the other hand, the shops are ov
erstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.

Moreover, the rise in food prices at home has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling internationally. British consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be able to benefit from this trend.

The signifi
cance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a smaller home market. Present production is running quickly compared with years ago. However, farmers haven’t shared any benefit from the change.
Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables. Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.
Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. . Ideal （理想的）study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.
Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity.
You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing. Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.
This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.
| A．Pick a place where your children can study properly. |

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers say．Here are some shopping tips:
Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, cross-training or another specialty will provide the best support for your feet．
Shop when you normally exercise．Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up as much as a half-size by nighttime．
Try them on．Never grab a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy．Bring the type of socks you’d wear to work out and go for a walk through the store．
You should be able to spread your toes out comfortably．Make sure there’s about a half-inch of space between them and the front of the shoe．The back should fit snugly (warmly and comfortably) against your heel and not move up and down．If your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one．
Talk to an expert．Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride (步伐) and the shape of your feet．
Many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months, if possible, to maintain（保持）proper cushioning and support．One tip: if you have to tie your shoes very tightly to feel a good amount of support, they may be ready to go．
| A．Think about how much you can afford to buy the workout shoes． |
| B．Consider your type of exercise． |
| C．Focus on fit． |
| D．So don’t shop first thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening． |

I suffer when they suffer. They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.
As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.
