The simplest way to increase food production, one might suppose, is to bring more land【B1】cultivation and put more people to work on it. Some of the underdeveloped countries have resorted to this【B2】approach, without notable success. It contains several fallacies. For one thing, it usually means【B3】into marginal lands where the soil and climatic conditions give a poor【B4】. Cultivation may quickly deplete this soil,【B5】it for pasture or forest growth. It is often possible, of course, to turn such lands into useful farms by agricultural【B6】; for instance, a sophisticated knowledge of how to use the available water【B7】an irrigation system may reclaim semi-arid grasslands for crop-growing. But the cultivation of marginal lands is in any case unsuccessful【B8】it is carried out by farmers with a centuries-old tradition of experience or by modern experts with a detailed knowledge of the【B94】conditions and the varieties of crops that are suitable for those conditions. Such knowledge is【B10】absent in the underdeveloped countries.
【B11】, we know that highly developed countries have not increased the【B12】of acres under cultivation,【B13】on the contrary have【B14】their marginal lands and steadily reduced the proportion of the population engaged in fanning. Efficient fanning【B15】concentration on the most efficient lands, and it results in greater production with【B16】people. The problem of the underdeveloped countries, then is to increase the【B17】of their farms and farmers. This would allow them to industrialize and to feed their people more adequately. It is not easy to【B18】, however. The farmers are conservative and resistant to change【B19】their methods of cultivation. The underdeveloped countries are greatly in need of studies and experiments to help them to【B20】modern agricultural methods to their own conditions.

If ever you are called【B1】to intro-duce a speaker, it would be well for you to bear in【B2】that you have a responsibility to do more than simply get up, recite a few facts, and then sit down. You have at least five major【B3】. It is really your responsibility to【B4】the tone for the speaker, to establish close relation- ship with his audience, and【B5】the audience that the speaker is a person Worth【B6】to. In accomplishing this broad goal, you may also be able to ease the【B7】and thus relieve your speaker【B8】whatever feelings of stage fright or anxiety he may be【B9】.
You should also introduce your speaker's speech topic and his【B10】, and in doing this you should make clear that the audience is aware of the speaker's【B11】in his field. Some individuals are so well-known in their fields that it is only necessary to present them by name.【B12】, it is far better to ignore this possibility in most【B13】and proceed to give some of the【B14】facts concerning his educational background, his major accomplishments, and his present role in society.
Most speakers are【B15】to talk about their own accomplishments, and it is your job to【B16】out beforehand what these accomplishments are and then tell your audience about those that seem most interesting. This requires some【B17】ahead.【B18】you will have referred to the speaker, possibly by name and title, before you formally introduce him, it is always a good idea to【B19】the title or substance of his topic as【B20】as his name and title near the close of your introduction.

Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents' efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. "In general, the more question asking the parents do, the higher the children's IQ scores," Lewis says. "And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is."
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their brothers and sisters. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on 'the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention.
"Middle children are invisible," says Lewis. "When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, it's often the case that it's middle child." There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: "When the TV is on," Lewis says, "dinner is a non-event."
