The American local food movement has been all about buying seasonal food from nearby farmers. Now, thanks to the Web, it is expanding to include far-away farmers too. A new start-up, Foodzie, is an online farmers market where small food producers and growers can sell their products.
Foodzie was started by Mr LaFave and two of his friends, who met during college at Virginia Tech, where they would pay frequent visits to farmers markets. Last year, while living in North Carolina, one of them, Emily Olson, now 24, came up with one idea. She was working as a brand manager for a gourmet grocery chain and realized that people who enjoyed fine food but didn’t work in the business had no way to discover handmade foods outside their local farmers markets. Small farmers had no way of finding or selling to faraway customers, either.
Mr LaFAve and the third co-founder, Nik Bauman, both 25, worked in corporate sales and software development. “With business, food and computer science backgrounds, we figured we had everything we needed.” Mr LaFAve said.
The three quit their jobs, and opened this site to the public in December and the site has had 43,000 visitors in the past month. So far, 29 sellers have opened shops and 41 are in the process of opening them. The founders recently hired a fourth employee to help Ms Olson recruit(吸收) new food producers at farmers markets and food shows. Mr LaFAve is convinced that the recession(经济衰退) will not reduce people’s interest in buying locally grown and handmade food. “There is misunderstanding that all these foods are more expensive than mass-produced alternatives,” he said. “People are pouring their heart and soul into these products, and they are of the highest quality. ”

It’s difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. 1enough blood, the brain can live only three to five minutes. Usually doctors can’t fix the hurt 2such a short time.
Dr Robert White thinks he knows a 3of help. He thinks doctors should make the hurt brain 4to live for 30 minutes without blood. This gives the doctor 5time to do something for the brain. Dr White experimented his 6on fifteen monkeys. 7he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go 8 a machine. When the brains’ 9was 10℃, he stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes, he turned the blood back on. He 10the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were almost 11before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the job the doctor 12them.
Dr White’s idea works well on monkeys. He thinks it will work on 13. He think it will help with heart problems. A person 14die when his heart stops; doctors can 15it again. The problem comes: when the brain is without blood for about 5 minutes, it 16. If doctors start the heart again after 5 minutes, the person has 17body but a dead brain. Maybe in the future, doctors will 18Dr White’s idea. When the person’s heart stops the doctor will 19cool the brain. They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again. Maybe there will be no 20the brain.

We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store.1we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 2and making a sale.
One lesson stands out in my3. It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 4a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed (磨破)and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to5to buy anything. He looked6the toy section, picked up this item and 7, and carefully put them 8in their place.
Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes9and the dimple(酒窝)in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas 10 to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his11and look around. He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 12, walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”
“How much you got?” Dad asked.
The little boy held out his hand and13it. His hand was creased(起皱) with14lines of dirt from holding his15too tightly. In his hand16two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’11 just17it,” Dad said as he18the sale. Dad’s reply still 19in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a 20.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried1for hours as the farmer tried to figure out2to do. Finally he decided the animal was3and the well needed to be4up anyway, so it just wasn’t5it to rescue the donkey.
He invited all his6to come over and help him. They all grabbed (握起) a shovel (铁铲) and began to shovel7into the well. At first, the donkey8what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s9, he was quiet.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked10the well and was11at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that12his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would13it off and take a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors14to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take another15up. Pretty soon, everyone was surprised as the donkey stepped up over the16of the well and ran off.
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The best way of17out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our18is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest19just by not stopping, never20! Shake it off and take a step upward!

One day last month after I received my salary, I went shopping with my little son. 1in the crowded store, I had my pocket 2and my whole salary was gone with it. I was so angry that I almost lost3of myself. What could I do? We were not very4. The money was really not a small sum for my family. It would5our life greatly. How could I tell my wife?
I felt very sad and even6for losing the money when I got home. To make up for my7mistake, I gathered all my strength to give our house a thorough cleaning and then 8a wonderful meal and cooked a special dish my wife loved to 9her.
When she came home, I 10a smile to greet her. She was 11to see the neat house and12meal. We sat at the table and began to eat. I told my story13. She did not respond. It was as if she had not heard my words.
“I’ve14my salary,” I murmured to her again.
“I see,” she did not shout at me as I had15. She didn’t lose her16. So I was afraid she was trying hard to17her anger.
A moment later, my wife was still18and seemed to be enjoying her favorite dish. At last I could not help asking, “I’ve lost the money. Why not shout at me?” She19her eyes, looking at me and said, “Oh, on the contrary, I’m thinking about how to comfort you. It’s the20who is to blame.

Not long before, my daughter's shoes were scratched with a knife.She burst into1.I took them to the shoemaker to get them2.
The young apprentice (学徒) glanced at the opening and said, "3I can do except replace the upper." His master looked at them and said to me, "If you4me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes."_K^S*5U.C#O%
I was5and asked why.
He explained, "As if the openings were made6for the sake of special style and reuse."
Two days later I found there were indeed more scratches on7shoe, but all the openings were patched (打补丁) by soft red leather with edges sewed by thick thread,8more unique and interesting than ever.I couldn't help but9the master's skill.
Another time, my wife's sister's white blouse had been torn, leaving a large opening on the back.My wife10the blouse carefully, and then said, "Let me take it 11 and mend it."
Seeing the blouse again, I was shocked: all the torn parts had been sewed up by thin and12thread and they13a look of ice crystal (冰晶) hanging from a winter's branch.14, she had attached a snowman and a cabin made of flowery cotton rags onto the shirt.I15with praise, "It's just as beautiful as a piece of16!"
"I was inspired by that craftsman.Patches are supposed to be17, but a skillful craftsman can make it take on a kind of perfection," replied my wife.
Her words inspired me even more: Perfection is18to achieve in everything; Patches are unavoidable, so is human's life.Since you can't19the existence of wound, you should not expect people's20by exposing the wound, which reveals nothing meaningful.

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. In fact, he didn’t even seem like the1person.
When I first knew Bill , back in2, he was one of the most carefree(无忧无虑)people I had ever3. He was always ready to have a party. He thought4of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 15 miles to see an old5he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and6was never dull when he was7. With him there was one wild8after another. Sometimes I wonder how we9to study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel.10, I wasn’t even sure it was11. Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He12most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the13thing Bill cared about were possessions(财富). Now they seemed to be his main14. Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow I never15Bill changing so much. My image of him16the one I had formed17the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s18to expect people to remain the same, especially19I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he20the same way about me.
