Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father has worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed, she lists farming’s many challenges. "You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating," she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"
Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’s land. "I’m sure Dad hoped I’d stay," he said. "I guess it’s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’t appeal. For ambitious young people, farm life would be a hard world. " For Robinson, fanning doesn’t offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards; "providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature".
Farming is a big political issue in the UK. "Buy British" campaigns encourage consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 "foot and mouth crisis" closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular.
According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers’ land because farming cannot offer________.
选项
A、a hard world
B、a vital human need
C、a nice and straightforward life
D、enough money and honorable life
答案
D
解析
根据第二段中的“‘…For ambitious young people, farm life would be a hard world. " For Robinson, fanning doesn’t offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. ”可知,对有雄心的年轻人来说,农场生活是艰苦的,而且农场经营并不能为人们提供许多金钱,改善他们的生活方式。由此可推知,越来越多的年轻人离开祖祖辈辈生活过的土地是因为从事农业不能为他们提供足够的金钱和体面生活。A、B、C三项均是从事农业所带来的东西,不符合题意,均可排除。故选D。
