二、阅读理解
Nobody likes home economics (家政学). But restoring the program could help us in the fight against obesity and chronic (慢性的)diseases today.
The home economics movement was founded on the belief that housework and food preparation were important subjects that should be studied scientifically. The first classes occurred in the agricultural and technical colleges that were built in the 1860s. When most departments of universities rejected women, home economics was a back door into higher education.
Indeed, in the early 20th century, home economics was a serious subject. When few people understood germ (微生物)theory and almost no one had heard of vitamins, home economics classes offered vital information about washing hands regularly, eating fruit and vegetables and not feeding coffee to babies.
However, today we remember only the fixed ideas about home economics, forgetting the movement’s most important lessons on healthy eating and cooking. Too many Americans simply don’t know how to cook. Our diets, consisting of highly processed foods made cheaply outside the home, have contributed to many serious health problems. In the last decade, many cities and states have tried to tax junk food heavily or to ban the use of food stamps (食品券)to buy soda. Clearly, many people are doubtful about any governmental steps to promote healthy eating. But what if the government put the tools of obesity prevention in the hands of children themselves by teaching them how to cook
My first experience with home economics happened two decades ago when I was a seventh grader in a North Carolina public school. A year later, my father’s job took our family to Wales, where I attended a large school for a few months. It was the first time I had ever really cooked anything. I remember that it was fun, and with an instructor standing by, it wasn’t hard. Those lessons stuck with me when I first started cooking for my husband and myself after college and they still do. Teaching cooking in public schools can help solve some problems facing Americans today. The history of home economics shows it’s possible.

B. The health benefits of fruit and vegetables
C. The contents of home economics classes in the early 20th century
D. The significance of teaching home economics in the early 20th century

I was 28 years old，the age when most young people have their eyes firmly fixed on the promise of success but I was a failure.Six years earlier，fresh from college，I had joined a dramatic producing company，and had been going into small towns and rural communities producing country style musical comedies.But，in the summer of 1940，the country was in a depression，radio had changed people's tastes，and part time shows weren't all that big any more.So，jobless and with nothing else in sight，I went back home.Later I got a job as a recreation room director in my hometown.It paid $50 a month，for which I was grateful，but it sure was a dull job.
I felt so frustrated with my plan to be a dramatic star.Restless and dissatisfied though I was，it was nice，in a way，to be back home.I tried to teach some of my town's children music and drama.And when I got a chance，I'd try my luck as a performer myself.I'd dress up as a country girl and tell little stories and jokes that I'd picked up during my years living around country folk.I gave this country girl a name — Minnie Pearl.
One October afternoon I was in the recreation room，waiting for the children when a banker friend，Jim Walker，came in and said，“We're going to have a bankers' meeting here.I understand you've been teaching some children dramatics and dancing and singing.Would you let the children entertain the bankers？” I said，yes.Suddenly，he turned and added，“Oh，by the way，the speaker from Chicago is flying here.If he's late，would you mind doing that Minnie Pearl thing？” I told Jim I'd do it.
That night the children sang and danced to old time，popular songs when I was backstage.After we finished the performance, Jim came to me.“The speaker's not here yet.You'll have to help us.” “All right，” I told him，“just give me a minute to dress up.”
