World hunger

　　Most of us don’t think too much about world hunger．When we are hungry, we can always find something to eat-usually something delicious．But in many parts of the world–even in some rich countries–adults and children go to bed hungry every day．According to the World Hunger Program in Newport, Rhode Island, 780 million people in the world don’t get enough to eat．One out of every six babies in the world is born underweight and even worse, one out of every three children is underweight at age five．

　　There are two main causes of hunger–food “shortage” and food “poverty”．A food shortage happens when there isn’t enough food in an area to feed all the people that live there．This has happened recently in some African countries when there wasn’t enough rain for people to grow the food they needed．Sometimes a food shortage affects just one part of a country, and other times the entire country is affected．Food poverty is the cause of hunger when people don’t have enough money to buy food．There is plenty of food in the stores, but some people can’t afford to buy enough food, so they go hungry．

Hanging Gardens of Babylon(巴比倫空中花園)

???? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built in the 7th century BC and are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were amazing not only because of their beauty, but also because of their location.

???? In the 7th century BC a king named Nebudchadnezzar II created the gardens as a sign of love for his wife, Amyitis. According to legend, Amyitis, the daughter of the king of the Medes, was homesick. She missed the green hills and valleys of her homeland.

???? Upon marrying Nebudchadnezzar II, Amyitis moved to the ancient chief city of Babylon. The area was in the Mesopotamian desert, and the climate there was totally different from where she had left. So the new queen was very sad about the flat and the sun-baked desert. To make Amyitis happier and more comfortable the king decided to build her a series of magnificent gardens.

???? Many think of the gardens as an otherworldly creation that hung in the air somehow. But experts agree that the gardens were actually built on a mountainside, rather than actually “hanging”.

???? The hanging Gardens of Babylon are famous. Stories of them spread throughout the ancient world, and ancient writers recorded a large number of descriptions of the gardens, but some wonder whether this paradise of the past ever existed. There are no historical records of it except stories. Whatever may happen, even the idea of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon is amazing. They were essentially impossible to create because of the climate, but they were kept in the minds of many as a botanical beauty created in the middle of unattractive desert scenery.

1.Hanging Gardens of Babylon are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, aren’t they?

2.What makes the Hanging Gardens of Babylon so amazing and famous?
