Since I moved to Seattle, there’s no farm whose name has come up more than Quillisascut. Quillisascut is a cheese company, 36 what they call “traditional farmstead cheese’’, but it’s also a school. 37 completing a five-day “Introduction to Farming” workshop at Quillisascut, I understand why this farm school is so 38 . I hope that you can one day visit it, too.
At Quillisascut, mornings begin at 5:30 am with 39 and milking the goats. The morning’s 40 is made into cheese in the afternoon. Cheese making requires many steps. The process can take one day to several months, 41 the type of cheese being made.
During our workshop, we were lucky enough to have the farm’s chefs 42 meals of grains and beans from neighboring farms and herbs from the garden. All of the foods used for cooking are either grown there or 43 sourced.
Any 44 from meals is made into compost(堆肥). It is 45 onto the farm’s land, transforming Quillisascut’s soil 46 fertile salad bars for the goats. In addition to sunlight, rain, and compost, the goat farm 47 seeding and reseeding.
When I know where my food came from, who 48 it, and the complex process it took to get to my 49 , food does more than fuel my body. It also heats my 50 . I wonder how different our food and healthcare systems would look like if all people learnt firsthand about the 51 and tears involved in bringing food to the table.
If every food production operation 52 the public onto its ground, it is possible that our country’s food system would look very different; and our country’s connection with food could 53 . But for now, Quillisascut and other educational farms are making a(an) 54 , carrying out the goal “to make the world a more 55 place”.

A few weeks ago I was given the simple task of writing a short story. I sat down to a beautiful work of fiction that would my teacher and classmates. To be honest, this is an area I generally feel very in. I really enjoy it and such writing tasks used to take the amount of time.

Its dark red paint was and I could see my reflection in its perfect surface. And then my reflection started dancing and singing. I wasn’t , but it sure was. I’d follow its . So I seized my guitar and plucked (拨动) a string. I sat rocking with my guitar until late the night. I was sure I was preparing for the much more efficiently now that I wasn’t spending time writing stories.
Needless to say, no story was written, and many arose in my mind. Since then, I have constantly asked, “Am I for not wanting to do my work anymore?” More importantly, , I’ve learned I really am going to be a rock star.

An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. The way you look at life will determine how you , how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. , pessimism creates a sad and hopeless place where no one wants to live. thoughts, attitudes, and expectations feed on themselves.
Years ago, I into a service station to get some gas. It was a day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “You don’t look well.” This took me completely by . A little less confidently, I told him that I had never felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared .
By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little . About a block away, I pulled over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Did I look that ? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little . Had I picked up some rare disease?
The next time I went into that gas station, feeling again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright but disgusting yellow, and the light reflecting off the walls made everyone inside as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had reacted the way I did. I had let one short with a total stranger change my for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single negative observation had a(n) effect on the way I felt and acted.
