A farm is always a busy place. One of the busiest things is when the farmer is getting land ready to grow plants.
If the farmer is going to grow wheat, he has to turn the ground over first. The farmer drives up and down the paddock(草地) on tractor(拖拉机). When the ground is ready, the farmer sows the seeds. He does this with a machine that the tractor pulls along. Now, one farm and one machine can do as much a day as twenty men used to do without a machine. After the wheat has been sown, the farmer keeps a lookout(守望) for rain. Wheat needs rain and warm sunny days to make it grow. When the wheat has grown, it turns to a lovely golden colour.
When the wheat is fully grown, you can see the seeds on the wheat plants. These have to be out off and put in bags or big trucks to be taken to a factory where they are made into flour(面粉).
It’s a very busy time on farm when the wheat is being cut. Everyone helps so that all the wheat can be taken from the paddocks before the rain comes. If heavy rain falls, the farm must wait for the ground dry out before the machine can cut the wheat. Farmers always have a lot to do through the year.

     Most of us may play ping-pong, but perhaps you don't know who invented it. The story is that it started
when two students at Cambridge University began knocking a cork (软木塞) to each other across a table,
using old boxes. In about the year l,800 an American businessman of sports goods produced a game that he
called Indoor Tennis. The Americans didn't find interest in it. He shipped (海运) it to London and it soon
became popular in Britain. The game was then played across dinning room tables, or on the floor with the
net string (网) between chairs. The players used a ball made of cork or rubber. A few years later a hollow
(空的) ball like the one we use today was invented. People all over the world loved it at once. A man called
Mr Wood in London, had the idea of covering the bats (拍子) with rubber. Later a London businessman
called this game "ping-pong". "Ping" meant the sound of the bat hitting the ball, and "pong" was the sound
of the ball hitting the table.
     The game is played everywhere, but not everybody likes it. Some even think it's a silly game.
1. _______ at Cambridge University first played table tennis, using a cork and _______.
2. A game called Indoor Tennis _______ in about the year 1,800.
3. Although the American didn't like the game, _______ showed great interest in it and it became popular.
4. After hollow balls were invented, the bats _______ were invented by Mr Wood.
5. 将文中画线部分译成汉语。
