This year’s World Food Prize will honor two leaders of hunger-fighting groups based in the United States. The winners are David Beckmann of Bread for the World and Jo Luck of Heifer International. They will share the prize of 250,000 dollars. The World Food Prize usually goes to researchers or top policy officials. This is the first time it will recognize the work of nongovernmental groups.
Heifer International provides donated animals and training to farmers in 50 countries. Jo Luck remains president until next year. Under her leadership, the group’s budget grew from less than 10,000,000 dollars to more than 130,000,000 dollars. Jo Luck, “People pass on their gifts of not just animals but also gifts of training and leadership. We have seen cases where we have been gone 5 and 10 years and we go back and they have developed roads and built schools, and they have other communities receiving the animals and the training. You just give them those resources and that training and opportunity, and you cannot hold them back.” She told the story of a woman from a poor village in Zimbabwe. A family member helped send her to school in the United States with earnings from a donated milk goat. She received a doctoral degree. Jo Luck, “That is what a goat did. That is one example. The animal is only the catalyst（催化剂）. That is the beginning of many other things that follow.”
David Beckmann became president of Bread for the World in 1991. He is an economist and a Christian clergyman（牧师）. Bread for the World organizes people from religious and non-religious groups to write, call and visit members of Congress（国会）. The purpose is to support measures to improve the lives of the poor. David Beckmann points to big increase in American development assistance. He said, “I think that would not have happened without the support of hundreds of thousands of people and churches that are part of Bread for the World and that keep the pressure on their members of Congress.” The prize committee also credited his efforts with helping to increase aid to needy families in the United States.

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once 36 and did not know the 37 very well. I was on the 38 after I had made some enquiries.
At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut(小道，近路). The short cut was to 39 several hills and was dangerous, I hesitated (犹豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be 40 .
Something strange happened 41 I drove a long way and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to 42 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the 43 that I had made the 44 mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it 45 , I decided to go on. “If 46 people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I 47 myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that 48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road, 49 up and down two low 50 .There was 51 traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and 52 with cows and horses. My fear was 53 with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and 54 the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me 55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.
