Now，an ancient grain from Ethiopia，teff，is being sold in supermarkets in
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂America.Teff has been an important part of the Ethiopian diet for thousands of
years.Teff is known for its small grain.It is mainly used to make flour.
Wayne Carlson learned about teff while doing public health work in Africa in the
mid1970s.“I came to know teff because I was eating it all the time and hosted by teff
farmers.” In the late 70s，Carlson returned to his home state Idaho in the U．S.，
married and settled in Southwest Idaho.Then he came up with an idea.
Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers，nor do they want to be.So they
convinced actual farmers in Idaho，Oregon and Nevada to grow teff.The Carlsons
milled(磨粉) it themselves.However，until last year there was not a single Ethiopian
restaurant or bakery in the entire state of Idaho for them to sell the milled flour
to.“The way we started was that Wayne went through the Washington，D.C.，and
looked for the names that were Ethiopian in the telephone book.”
Over time，the Teff Company has grown out four different mills.The Carlsons
say the teff flour coming off the mill could end up in a good natural foods store or
commercial bakery.“Sales of alternatives (替代品) to modern wheat are growing
quickly each year，” says an industry trade group.
Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at Oregon State University.He says teff
production has exploded over the past decade in the U．S.He also says most teff
grown in the U．S.is fed to farm animals.In Idaho，however，where the Carlsons
are based，Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food.Teff
contains lots of calcium，iron，and protein.Roseberg praises Wayne Carlson for
being ahead of his time.

Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整
的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Fisherman Salvador was just trying to make a living on the sea with fellow
fisherman Cordoba.Two days into the journey，disaster struck，and the two men
would begin the greatest challenge of their lives.
The boat was loaded with tons of provisions，including 70 gallons of gasoline，
16 gallons of water，50 lbs of sardines for bait(鱼饵)．They also had a mobile
phone，kept safe in a plastic bag，a GPS，and a twoway radio.The two had never
spoken before or worked together，but they liked fishing and both of them seemed to
know what they were doing.
Two days later，the weather was getting worse and worse.Salvador was trying to
remain calm，but Cordoba was not prepared.He held on to the rail(围栏) for dear life
as the waves crashed around them，vomiting and crying.When the storm finally
passed，Salvador could finally see in front of him; he noticed that they had drifted far
away from land.To make matters worse，the motor had stopped working.Salvador
called his boss on the radio，but there was no response.Even worse was the fact that
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂the GPS they had brought with them had stopped working.
The two men had been at sea for two months.While Salvador had become
accustomed to catching and eating the animals available to them，Cordoba's mental
health and physical health had begun to decline.Once he got sick from eating raw
seabirds，he refused to eat at all.His own depression，fear and malnutrition finally
killed him，leaving Salvador alone on the boat.
One day，after a terrible storm，Salvador found the sky was suddenly filled with
shorebirds.He knew that he was heading for land at last.He must have been
close.There，in the distance was a green Pacific atoll(环礁)．It looked small and
wild，but it was a dry land and would likely have food and shelter.
Paragraph 1：
The skinny fisherman struggled until he reached what appeared to be a beach
house.
Paragraph 2：
Salvador was rescued.
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
The skinny fisherman struggled until he reached what appeared to be a beach
house.This was a fisherman's home.Seeing a weak man walking unsteadily from the
sea，the fisherman and his wife rushed out to him and welcomed him into their
home.They had never seen anyone so weak and hungry.They were surprised that
Salvador remained awake and managed to ask for a doctor before losing
consciousness.
Paragraph 2：
Salvador was rescued. Despite suffering unimaginable hardships，Salvador had
survived his journey.He had spent 438 days lost at sea.Soon enough，he was on his
way back home to El Salvador，where he was finally reunited with his family.Of
course，he made time to visit Cordoba's mother to tell her the news of her son's
death.They shed tears for the loss of Cordoba.
