In the 1930s, Dan West was farming in Spain. It was wartime, and people were starving (挨饿). An i小题1: hit him
as he handed out cups of milk to children. “These children don’t need a cup. They need a cow.” This was the b 小题2: of Heifer International. Heifer International gives different k 小题3: of gifts. Its gifts might
say “quack” or “moo”. Dan West asked friends in the United States to give gifts of heifers(小母牛), or young cows. S小题4: then, Heifer International has given animals to four million families. It gives people the chance to f 小题5: themselves.
Heifers International wants the people they help to help others. For one project, the group s 小题6: chickens to some children in Asia. The children yearned for(向往) the day when they could help others. Nine-year-old Julie knew she had to look after her chickens w 小题7: so they would produce new eggs and healthy chicks. She t 小题8: good care of them, and they gave birth to strong, healthy chicks. Julie then passed on the gift of chicks to other families.
Because of Heifer International, children can s 小题9: their days in a schoolhouse instead of working in the fields. They can use the money they earn from their animals to pay for school. Heifer International has made a huge d 小题10: to people’s lives for many years. People should be grateful to a kindhearted farmer named Dan West.
