WHEN KIM JI-UN lived in Seul, she wrried abut finding a gd jb. Nw, she is wrried that drught may ruin her crp. The 23-year-ld started a farm last year. Her first harvest was an unexpected success.
Ms Kim is part f a phenmenn called kwichn, r returning t rural life. The term crps up during perids f ecnmic hardship. This time, in the wake f the pandemic, many new farmers have never lived in the cuntryside befre. The gvernment prmtes the idea as a slutin t the prblem f Suth Kreans migrating t Seul, aiming t regenerate struggling rural regins. By planting yung farmers in rural areas, the gvernment hpes t enjy big rewards in future.
The plan is wrking. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 peple mved t the cuntryside, up 15% frm 2015 and almst half (a recrd high) yunger than 40. Cmfrt with digital technlgy gives yung farmers a leg up, says Ch Kyung-ik, the directr f the Beginning Farmer’s Centre, an institutin educating thse wh wish t kwichn at its dwntwn ffices. They sell fresh prduce n Naver, Suth Krea’s largest search engine.
The centre teaches techniques like hw t use a tractr r select the best crps. It arranges a trial perid during which ambitius farmers wrk under the guidance f an ld hand, learning what it means t d back-breaking labur frm dawn t dusk.
The mst imprtant lessn is hw t get n with the lcals. The villagers are als ffered tips n hw t act twards the newcmers. That part is nt yet a ttal success. Ms Kim says her neighburs have a bad temper. “The ld peple cme in here and give me unwanted advice, r say that I will never be able t grw anything, ” she says. Her black beans beg t differ. She and the Suth Krean gvernment will be hping that her crps put the argument t rest fr gd.
4. Why des the writer tell Ms Kim’s stry?
A. T start an argument.B. T intrduce a trend.
C. T present a challenge.D. T make a cmparisn.
5. What des the underlined “a leg up” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A new identity.B. A helping hand.
C. A tuching mment.D. A different idea.
6. What is prperly the biggest challenge fr the yung farmers?
A. Learning farming skills.B. Facing criticism nline.
C. Handling invisible verwrk.D. Adapting t lcal cmmunity.
7. What can we infer frm the text abut kwichn?

Fr mre than 60 years bringing the cst f fd dwn had been ne f the greatest challenge f the 21 century. That cst, hwever, is nt in immediate cash, fr mst fd is nw far cheaper in relative terms than in 1960.
The cst is in the unintended damage f the very methds f fd prductin that have made the fd cheaper: in the pllutin f water, the weakness f sil, the destructin f wildlife, the harm t animal welfare and the threat t human health caused by mdern industrial agriculture.
First mechanisatin, then mass use f chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and nw genetic engineering — mdern industrial farming has seemed unstppable, as the yields f prduce have sared. But it cmes with extensive lss f wildlife and habitat, sil degradatin and fertilizer run-ff.
Put it tgether and it’s like a battlegrund, but cnsumers rarely make the cnnectin at the dinner table. The prblems are called “externalities” by ecnmists because they’re nt part f the main transactin, like grwing and selling wheat. These csts aren’t directly paid by the prducers r cnsumers.
But the csts t sciety can amunt t shcking sums. Accrding t a research by Prfessr Jules Pretty at the University f Essex, repairing the damage caused by intensive farming in ne particular year csts £2, 343m in the UK alne, almst as much as the ttal UK and EU spend n British farming in that year.
Can the true cst f fd be brught dwn? In sme cuntries, mving away frm industrial agriculture t address hunger is difficult. Hwever, in develped cuntries, it’s mre pssible. Gvernments shuld supprt sustainable farming that benefits the envirnment, ecnmy, health, and animal welfare. Instead f immediately switching t rganic farming, Prfessr Pretty suggests adpting a “Greener Fd Standard” which wuld push the market twards mre sustainable envirnmental practices than the current nrm, while nt requiring the full cmmitment t rganic prductin. This standard wuld guide farmers n better practices in farming, prmting a shift twards a mre sustainable agricultural system fr bth prducers and cnsumers.
8. What is the cst assciated with fd prductin?
A. Immediate cash lss.B. Increased agriculture yields.
C Prmtin f rganic farming.D. Impairment t human welfare.
9. Why cnsumers cannt cnnect fd at table with the external csts?
A. The csts are included in the price.B. The csts lie in fd grwing and selling.
C. The csts aren’t directly visible t peple.D. Peple aren’t affected by mdern farming.
10. What may cut the cst f fd based n the text?
A. Giving up clean-up effrts.B. Overlking glbal hunger.
C. Making flexible farming plicies.D. Adpting full rganic appraches.
11. What’s the authr’s attitude twards mdern industrial agriculture?
A. Critical.B. Supprtive.C. Uncncerned.D. Mindless.
D
Mst autnmus vehicles test-driving in cities navigate by using 3-D maps marking every edge f radside with almst centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left mst areas like smaller twns inaccessible t thse driverless cars.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) nw have develped a new navigatin system that guides autnmus vehicles withut such accurate maps. This technlgy can help driverless cars travel almst anywhere.
The navigatin system maps ut a curse dwn unfamiliar rads much as a human driver wuld by cntinually scanning its surrundings, with a laser sensr, t measure hw clse it is t the edges f the rad. Meanwhile, the car als fllws a tl like a smart phne map app that prvides directins t its destinatin, as well as infrmatin abut the rules f the rad, such as speed limits and the psitins f stplights. Teddy Ort, a rbticist at MIT, test-drve a car equipped with this navigatin system n a ne-way rad. It slwly traveled ne kilmeter withut any human assistance.
This system assumes that a car has a clear path dwn the rad, but it can be paired with ther existing cmputing technlgy t discver in-rad bstacles, says Ort. The researchers als plan t build a versin f this system which can spt markings painted n streets, s that the car can drive n tw-way rads. “Self-driving cars with this navigatin system may need ther sensrs t wrk in different cnditins,” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Wrcester Plytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensrs dn't wrk well in rain r snw, these cars might need additinal imaging technlgies t drive safely in bad weather."
12. What may be a prblem fr mst driverless cars?
A. They fail in test-driving.B. Their maps are ut-dated.
C. They run in limited areas.D. Their guides are unreliable.
13. Hw des the MIT navigatin system wrk?
A. By detecting rad cnditins.B. By including accurate maps.
C. By remving in-rad bstacles.D. By featuring a smart phne app.
14. What is Para. 4 mainly abut cncerning the system?
A. Its further research areas.B. Its testing results.
C. Its ptential in bad weather.D. Its reliance n laser sensrs.
15. What culd be the best title fr the text?
A. Autnmus Cars Beat Human Drivers
B. Self-driving Cars Take ver Remte Areas
C. New Mapping Tech Empwers Driverless Cars
D. Smart Navigatin Imprves Mapping Accuracy
