A farmer found a wounded eagle (鹰) in his field. He was so   26   that he took it home and cleaned its wounds. After that he placed it  27  in the yard, in the hope that it    28    recover soon.

Strangely enough, the eagle soon got used to the    29   of all the chickens in the yard. It learned to    30    from side to side like chickens, and eat happily from a trough (食槽). For many years, the eagle    31    his new life on the farm.

Then one day, one of the farmer’s friends pointed to the playing    32   and asked, “  33   is that eagle acting like a chicken?” The farmer told him what had   34  , and the friend felt quite   35  .

“I can’t believe that!” said the friend. “It should fly in the    36   , not live here!” He picked up the eagle, and   37   it into the air. The eagle was  38  , and cried loudly. Then it just fell down on the ground.

That night, the friend could   39   sleep as he remembered the chicken-like eagle. The next morning, he headed back to the farm for another   40  . This time he carried the eagle to the   41   of a nearby mountain.

When he stood at the highest place of the mountain, he looked into its eyes and shouted, “Don’t you   42   ? You weren’t made to live like a chicken!” As he   43   the eagle up, he made sure it was facing into the bright   44   of the rising sun. Then he    45    tossed (抛) the bird into the sky. This time the eagle opened his wings, and disappeared into the clouds.

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”.

I remember vividly that first English class in the last term of high school. We boys (there were no girls in the school) were   16  expectantly for the new teacher to appear. Before long, through the door came a tall ordinary-looking man  17  about 40. He said shyly,  “Good afternoon, gentlemen.” His  18 had a surprising tone (语气) of respect, almost  19  he were addressing （向---讲话）the Supreme Court (最高法院)20   a group of youngsters. He wrote his  21  on the blackboard---Wilmer T. Stone-- ,and  22  sat on the front of his desk.. “Gentlemen,” he began, “We are now this  23   ---your last---to continue your study of 24  . I know we shall  25  learning with and from one another. We are going to learn  26  about journalism and how to write your weekly school paper.

A man who doesn’t read  31  on the earth with a blindfold(眼罩). If I have to put all my  32  into a single word, it would be: ‘browse(广泛浏览)’”. Mr. Stone went on like that,  33 in a friendly and understanding tone. The 34  of the class came much too soon. And we boys had to 35  the classroom with an unexpected feeling of excitement.
