The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.（1） "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating," she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!" Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.（2）"I'm sure dad hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young, ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world."

C.While confident they will succeed, she lists farming's many challenges: D.Young people prefer to live in cities. E.I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything-what exactly DO they put on our apples to make them so big and red? F."Buy British" campaigns urge（鼓励）consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. 【答疑编号20105101：针对该题提问】 答案：CAFBE |
