【问题导入】How do you think about rain-making?
A farmer:Chinais a big agricultural country.We depend on the weather a lot.If we can control the weather,we will benefit greatly.
When the snow came down it fell north instead，at Davos，over the ski runs of a bitter rival.
Another problem with rainmaking was that sometimes the clouds made too much rain. This happened one summer in Australia.C.S.Richards，a rainmaker，was blamed for causing too much rain. Everyday he received letters and telegrams blaming him for drenching（湿透）the land.Some people even accused him of dabbling（玩水）in witchcraft（魔法）.
Economists call producing more with less an increase in productivity.The Department of Agriculture uses a measure called an index to show how productivity changes.It says America’s agricultural productivity increased by more than 100% between 1950 and 1996.Over the same period，prices of the agricultural goods fell by more than 50%.So the trend toward increased productivity had meant lower prices.Many farmers have answered by increasing the size of their specialized rmation in this report comes from the National Agriculture Statistics service.
