38、( A )She was born to wealth and power in an era when money and politics were left to the men.

39、r placed on her children. Katharines love of journalism, which she shared with her father，led to her career after college at the Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933. At the post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a young, charming lawyer who become her husband. When, in 1945, Katharine

40、s father chose Phil over her to take over his struggling paper, Katharine didnt object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.While Phils successful efforts to restore the prominence made the Grahams popular members of the Washington social scene, Katharine privately suffered tremendous pai

41、n from her husbands increasingly abusive behavior and wild mood swings caused by severe depression.

Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger c

55、risis in poor countries and a looming energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-pr

56、ice increase，combined with increasing energy costs，will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but well have to start thinking ahead and acting globally. Here are three steps to ease the cu

57、rrent crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawis harvest doubled after just one

58、 year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether. Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels .The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer

59、-financed payment of 51cents per gallon of ethanol（乙醇）changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foodstree crops，grasses and wood productsbut theres no case for the government to pay to put the worlds dinner into the gas tank.Third, we urgently need to

60、weather-proof the worlds crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pondwhich collects rainwater to be used in a dry weathercan make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Cl
