A farm is always a busy place. One of the busiest things is when the farmer is getting land ready to grow plants.
If the farmer is going to grow wheat, he has to turn the ground over first. The farmer drives up and down the paddock（草地） on tractor（拖拉機(jī)）. When the ground is ready, the farmer sows the seeds. He does this with a machine that the tractor pulls along. Now, one farm and one machine can do as much a day as twenty men used to do without a machine. After the wheat has been sown, the farmer keeps a lookout（守望） for rain. Wheat needs rain and warm sunny days to make it grow. When the wheat has grown, it turns to a lovely golden colour.
When the wheat is fully grown, you can see the seeds on the wheat plants. These have to be out off and put in bags or big trucks to be taken to a factory where they are made into flour（面粉）.
It’s a very busy time on farm when the wheat is being cut. Everyone helps so that all the wheat can be taken from the paddocks before the rain comes. If heavy rain falls, the farm must wait for the ground dry out before the machine can cut the wheat. Farmers always have a lot to do through the year.
1. What is the busiest thing?______________________________________________
2. What does the farmer have to do when he is going to grow wheat?_______________________
3. Why was much more time spent on sowing in the past?________________________________
4. What does farmer not need when they cut wheat?_________________________________
5. Does everyone help to cut the wheat?_______________________________________

1. The busiest thing is when the farmer is getting ready to grow plants.
2. He has to turn the ground over first.
3. Because there were no machines.
4. Farmers do not need rain.
5. Yes.

1.根據(jù)One of the busiest things is when the farmer is getting land ready to grow plants.可知最繁忙的事情時當(dāng)農(nóng)民開始種植時。
2.根據(jù)If the farmer is going to grow wheat, he has to turn the ground over first可知他首先要翻地，故答案為：He has to turn the ground over first。
3.由one farm and one machine can do as much a day as twenty men used to do without a machine可知以前沒有使用機(jī)器，故為：Because there were no machines。
4.根據(jù)If heavy rain falls, the farm must wait for the ground dry out before the machine can cut the wheat.可知如果下大雨的話，農(nóng)民得等地面干了才能用機(jī)器來收割小麥，故不需要雨水，答案為：Farmers do not need rain。
5.此題為一般疑問句，根據(jù)Everyone helps so that all the wheat can be taken from….可知每個人都得幫忙去收割小麥，故答案為：Yes。
