Exercise

(P11)
5.
I
mostly
agree.
I
think
being
rich
can
cause
a
lot
of
problems,
but
it
really
depends
on
the
life
and
attitude
of
the
person
who
is
rich.
People
who
are
rich
certainly
have
different
problems
from
people
who
are
not.
6.
I
think
developing
other
hybrid
grains
would
make
a
great
difference
in
the
problem
of
world
hunger.
Hybrid
grains
that
can
survive
in
very
dry
or
very
hot
areas
would
be
very
useful
in
Africa
and
other
areas.
Hybrid
grains
that
cannot
easily
be
killed
by
insects
and
diseases
would
be
useful
around
the
world.
1.Even
if
Dr.Yuan's
dreams
come
true,
can
this
really
solve
starvation?
