But small home gardens are helping. The Victory Garden Campaign is working with people in the capital city of Lilongwe to grow avariety of vegetables near their houses. 　　Edson Kumbani and his family live in the Likuni area of the capital city. He created a garden last year after his corn crop failed. 　　Like most farmers in Malawi, his family depended on corn as its main source of food. But now he grows vegetables such as tomatoes, pumpkins, beans and potatoes. 　　His wife, Efrida helps with the garden. 　　“Now I have even stopped asking my husband about food whenever he leaves the house. I just enter the garden and pick whatever food I need for the family and cook it.” 　　Kumbani began his garden with help from a U.S. anti-hunger charity, Face to Face. Its mission is to help communities help themselves. Ken Wong is the director. 　　“What we want to do is roll out our Victory Garden solution, our solution of changing the way that Malawians think about farming, and thinking about food, so that Malawi can break the cycle of poverty.” 　　About 22,000 families in the Likuni, Tsabango and Mitundu areas are benefitingfrom the campaign. Each person that receives training will teach 25 other people. 　　The small gardens are about 2.5 square meters and can grow up to 15 kinds of plants, vegetables and fruit trees. 　　The campaign chooses plants and trees that can survive on little water. The weather is still dry in Malawi and some villagers must walk a long way to get water. Even so, the seeds of change for a healthier future are being planted. 　　I’m Dorothy Gundy. 　　_______________________________________________________ 　　Words in This Story 　　variety – n. the state of having or including many different things 　　mission – n. work that you consider to be a very important duty 　　solution – n. something that solves a problem 　　cycle – n. a repeating series of events 　　benefiting – verb to be useful or helpful to someone 　　篇二： 　　2016 Most Dangerous Year Ever for Afghan Journalists 　　2016年是阿富汗新闻记者最艰难的时刻 　　The year 2016 has been the most violent year ever for reporters in Afghanistan, a new report says. 　　新闻记者报道：对于新闻记者来说，2016年是阿富汗最暴力的一年。 　　The Afghan Journalists Safety Committee released its latest report Monday.

That is a 38 percent increase compared to the first half of last year. 　　自2016年6月开始该组织报道了54件反新闻记者事件。 　　The report also says the government was involved with 21 of the violent incidents.
