Compare what you have said with the reference answers provided. 1. What is the good news mentioned in the report? The good news is that the Obama administration has provided great financial support for developing countries and has also appealed to other industrialized countries to do the same. As a result, support has grown substantially for agricultural research and education in developing countries and for building essential infrastructure that will catalyze economic growth. ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ______________________________________ Unit 3 》Part III 》 I News Reports 》III 2. What is the bad news mentioned in the report? The bad news is that although the U.S. has increased its support for farmers in other countries, the efforts are inadequate. For example, it has not given sufficient support for the developing countries’ own research. Some policies like the ones that support corn-based ethanol hurt farmers in some developing countries. The developing countries themselves have not been encouraged to produce their plans and priorities, and private businesses have not been fully involved. ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ________
