At first man didn’t have any way to control food supply. When he had killed the animals in one place and all the natural foods had been used up, he had to move to another place to find new sources of food. If there was no rain, or if the weather was too hot or too cold plants would not grow, and man had little or no food. However, man gradually learned to grow plants and raise animals himself. From that time on, man didn’t depend so much on nature conditions and didn’t have to worry so much about always having enough food. The kinds of plants which are raised by man are different in different regions. In the cold regions, very few plants can be grown in the warmer parts of the world, many varieties of plants are found. For example, in Asia rice is the most important crop. In the New World, the major grain is corn. In Europe and North Africa, wheat, oats(燕麦) and barley are grown. In the tropical(热带) regions of the world, many kinds of fruits grow naturally or are raised by man.

As man has learned more about plants and animals, man now uses modern methods to produce different kinds of food. However, there are still some areas in the world where plants and animals are raised in much the same ways as were used thousands of year ago.

Dash of Hope

"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we've spent alive on earth．Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important．

Recently I   36   about a little girl named Hope．After learning more about her life, I couldn't help but feel it was not by   37   , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope"．The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity  38   in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others． 39   I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had．It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special．

Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was   40   a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being   41   that she had a rare type of bone cancer．However, when she found out that more than 150   42   in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted （实现） , she unselfishly used her wish to   43   that those children have their wishes granted．She also asked tW it be done   44   January 16, 2011．Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her   45   request could not be granted as the funds （资金） were simply   46 ．They calculated that they would need to raise more than one   47   dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish． 48  , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring   49   to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually   50    as well．Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51   the story of this caring young girl who had   52   the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged．Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in   53   money to help make Hope's dream come true．

Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only   54   , but spiritually and emotionally as well．At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the   55   was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars．Her wish had been granted!
