　　76) The agriculture revolution (
　　3)in the nineteenth century involved two things: the 19 世纪的农业革命包括两个方面: 发明节省劳力的机器和发展科技农业 invention 世纪的农业革命包括两个方面两个方面 of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. "In Europe, (
　　1)said Thomas Jefferson, "(
　　2)the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant". It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude (粗糙的) plow, (
　　4)farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs. (
　　77) By 18
　　60，most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. 到 1860 年 , 现在使用的大多数机械都已设计出雏形 . The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would home none of (
　　5)it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.

　　7) increase their children's language development. It is surprising but true. (
　　78) How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase. (

A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training (
　　9) session in which they were taught to ask (
　　8) open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" (

　　12) 30 percent of the adult population has a (
　　11)"weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does (
　　13) little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically,(
　　14) walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television. Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.(
　　80) Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. 因此那些运动量越大的人吃的越多同时耗费因此. 那些运动量越大的人,吃的越多吃的越多, 掉的体内脂肪也就越多. 掉的体内脂肪也就越多
