Finally, I graduated, but I was afraid of my reading skills.“Ill never get a job !” I cried to Mom later again.“ Dont focus on what you cant do,” she forted, “ Concentrate on what you really can.”But what can I do? I wondered. Suddenly, I thought of the drawings Id made as a child and my dream of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years, I tried my hand at other businesses. Today, I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales.While Ill never be what my teachers might have wanted, I am a success-on my own terms.

Its strange to see that man can travel to the moon, but still doesnt know how to feed himself. You may ask, “Who steals our bread? The first thieves should be population growth, poverty and loss of rich farmland.In less developed areas like South Africa, the population grows faster than the crops. It is almost impossible for its government to feed so many people and provide education for them. So it is very important to control the population growth and protect their farmland in countries whose people are suffering from hunger.According to the report, the worlds food production is enough to feed everyone if it is given away well. But the problem is that the developed countries are eating food that should be given to the poor. Although they are just using their own earning, the fact is that they are coldly watching others starving away.Luckily, some developed countries such as Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have done a lot to help those hungry people in African countries. We hope other developed countries will follow them.32. According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT help to make fewer people hungry?A. Poor countries protect their rich farmland.B.
