Katy and I watched and listened 14 to their conversation. She smiled and 15 whatever he said. We were touched by the warm scene we were witnessing（看到）. Then the 16 changed. The woman’s wrinkled but beautiful face was suddenly covered with a 　17 look. She asked the man in a sweet voice, “Do I know you? What is this place?” “You know me. I’m Ralph, your husband.

All big cities are similar to one another. Living in a 　1 Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms, 　2 . In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or 　3 . In the United States, however, each farm family lives 　4 　its own fields, often out of the sight of any 　5 . Instead of traveling in the morning from their 　6 to the fields every day, American farmers often 　7 on their land all the week. They 　8 to the nearest town on Saturdays for 　9 or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which 　10 all of the farm families living in the area. In 　11 areas, there are small schools for a few farm families, and the children 　12 to school. But life keeps changing for every one, of course, including the farmers. 13 there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets. 　14 there are modern machines, even computers, for farming. All of these have 　15 farm life. For many years 16 , farming in America was 　17 a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own problems all by themselves, instead of getting 　18 from others. As time went on they learned to 　19 new ways, and to believe in their own ideas instead of following 　20 ways.
