It's early August and the countryside appears peaceful. Planting has longbeen finished and the fields are alive with strong, healthy crops. Soybeans andwheat are flourishing under the hot summer sun, and the com is now well over sixfeet tall. 46.（ Herds of dairy and beef cattle are grazing peacefully in rollingpastures which surround big, red barns and neat, white farmhouses. Everything asfar as the eye can see radiates a sense of prosperity.）
成群的奶牛和肉牛在绵延起伏的牧场上安静地吃着草。牧场的周围是高大的红色仓房和整齐的白色农舍。目之所及的一切都呈现出一派欣欣向荣的景象。
