In the west there is a lot of rain. Here grass grows very well. So, in the west of Britain, most farms are animal farms. They are not crop farms. The Britain winter is warm and the grass grows all the year. The animals live out in the fields and on the highlands all the year. The Britain people eat lots of meat and they drink lots of milk. Cattle give milk and meat, sheep give meat. Cattle and sheep farms are in the west. Pigs are on farms here and there.
Britain can now produce about half of its food. It doesn’t produce enough wheat, so some wheat is imported (进口) from other countries. Britain must also import all the hot climate food, such as rice, tea, coffee and so on.

Each year there are an increasing number of cars on roads, as millions of new cars are produced.One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas.Americans couldn’t live without cars!

       Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car.However, some have realized the serious problem caused by cars.The polluted air is harmful and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car.That is what several large car factories, are trying to do.But to build the new car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to replace the car engine with something else.Engineers are working on some new cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases people.
