Exercise 28.5
1.
Many colleges have started campus garden
programs that aim to teach students about the benefits of sustainable farming
methods, and locally grown food.
2.
These gardens use organic farming techniques,
and also provide fresh produce for the college cafeteria.
3.
A garden big enough to grow produce for a
college cafeteria requires a large piece of land.
4.
A garden also needs a leader who can choose
crops that will thrive in local growing conditions.
5.
Volunteers willing to work in the garden every
week are essential.
6.
Some campus gardeners distribute produce to
people in the community, who live far from a grocery store.
7.
Correct
8.
The colleges may distribute produce with special
trucks, or “veggie wagons” that drive through the urban neighborhoods.
9.
The wagons deliver produce once a week, although
they may make two deliveries during peak harvest time.
1.
A community garden planted during the academic
year will fare better in southern states, where the growing season is longer
than northern states.
Exercise 28.6
1.
American colonists first imported pasta from the
English, who they had discovered it as tourists in Italy.
2.
The English, who were called macaronis because of
their fancy airs, were returning from their grand tours of Italy.
3.
A hair style, with elaborate curls, was also
called macaroni.
4.
The song “Yankee Doodle” refers to this hairdo,
when it reports that Yankee Doodle “stuck a feather in his cap and called it
macaroni.
5.
The song, a creation of the English, was actually
intended to poke fun at unrefined American Colonists.
Exercise 28.7
1.
Prices have risen rapidly, the government debated
a price freeze.
2.
A price freeze, unlike a rise in interest rates
seemed a sure solution.
3.
The President would have to persuade businesses
to accept a price freeze, his methods depending on their resistance.
4.
No doubt the President, his advisers having
urged it, would first try a patriotic appeal.
5.
The President, not his advisers, insisted on
negotiations with businesses.
Got it, Lisette. Thanks.
