lecture 1：
The state of Kansas is called the “Basket of America” because it ranks first in wheat growing and flour milling. In addition, there are hundreds of cattle ranches(大牧场)in western Kansas, some of which cover 50,000 acres. The state is larger than most states, but rather sparsely populated.
In pioneer days, many settlers passed through Kansas seeking rich land and gold farther west. Looking upon Kansas as “useless waste of land,” they refused to settle there. However, when Kansas joined the Union in 1861 as a free state opposed to slave labor, the population began to increase. Finally, the railroads helped to attract settlers by selling them inexpensive land.

The Great Lakes
The five bodies of water known as the Great Lakes are on or near the border between the United States and Canada. Lake Superior9 holds the most water. Lake Erie holds the least. Lake Michigan is the only one located totally within the United States. The other two are Lake Huron and Lake Ontario. The five Great Lakes are the largest group of fresh water lakes on Earth. Together, they contain about twenty percent of the fresh water in the world. There are about thirty-five thousand islands in the Great Lakes.
The Great Lakes control much of the weather on the land that surrounds them. In the winter, moisture10 picked up by winds produces large amounts of snow, especially in the states of Michigan, Ohio and New York.
The lakes also cool the air in the summer, then slowly move the heat over the area in the fall. This makes the area good for producing grapes for wine. The lakes supply drinking water to millions of people living in both the United States and Canada. In the past, industry used the Great Lakes to move products such as iron, coal, stone, grain and salt. But the amount of shipping11 on the lakes has decreased. Newer, larger ships are too wide for the lakes. But small boats take visitors to many of the islands for vacations.
The United States and Canada work together to improve conditions in the Great Lakes area. Officials are now working to change a treaty12 about ways to slow or stop the effects of climate change. They say that less ice formation13 over the lakes in recent years has caused lower water levels.
The areas around the lakes report environmental conditions at a conference every two years. The last one took place in November of last year. The conference report said some conditions are improving while others are worsening. For example, it reported progress in reducing air pollution, but said some poisons in the air are still a concern. It also said some native plants are decreasing while more than three hundred kinds of non-native fish continue to invade14 the lakes.
