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.
"Buy British" campaigns________.
选项
A、bring benefit to farmers
B、stop meat export
C、close thousands of farms
D、ask children to eat healthy food
答案
A
解析
根据最后一段第二句“‘Buy British’ campaigns encourage consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. ”可知,Buy British运动鼓励消费者不要购买更便宜的进口食品,也就是要购买英国本土的食品。由此可推知,Buy British运动给农民带来了好处,所以A项正确。B、C两项是2001年口蹄疫危机的影响;D项是2005年Jamie Oliver发起的运动的目的,均不符合题意。故选A。
