W: I'm sorry to hear that. But why do you want to talk to me about it?

M: Because... because we have a baby and there's nobody to look after her while she's in the hospital.

W: Who? Your wife M: No, no. My daughter.

W: Oh, I see. But I still don't understand what all this has to do with me.

M: But that's what I'm trying to explain. I'd like to stay at home for a few days. W: But why?

M: To look after my daughter, of course.

W: I thought you said she was going to the hospital. They will look after her there, won't they? M: Oh, no. It's my wife who's going to hospital! Not my daughter.

W: Really? I thought you said it was your daughter. You're not explaining this very clearly at all. Text 10

The population of the United States has more than doubled since 1920. The amount of land for farms has not increased very much. If there are more Americans to be fed, you might think each one must eat less, but that is not true. People in the United States are better fed today than in 1920. Today more food can be grown because machines are used. Horses have not been used as farm labor for many years; trucks and other machines are used instead of horses.When horses were used, it was necessary to grow food for them on large areas of farm land：but very little food is needed for horses now.The land which was used for that purpose can now grow food for human beings instead.This is just one of many ways in which American life has been changed by machines.
