In beautiful rural Montana lies the town of Livingston. Around half the students in the Livingston School District qualify for free or reduced-price lunches, according to local educator Rachael Jones，known as “Farmer Jones”. She is the director of the Livingston Farm to School program, which uses the district's two greenhouses and four gardens to grow food that supplements(补充) school meals while offering kids hands-on lessons. Jones said, “In many places around the country, if you can't pay for your school meal, you don't eat. Well, here，we don't turn anyone away. ”
The town's school district and community members started the program eight years ago. It was part of the National Farm to School Network, which aims to increase access to local food and nutrition education across the country. Jones, who attended public school in Livingston as a kid, has headed up the local program since 2014. Farm to School enriches curriculums in all of the schools through garden lessons, cafeteria and kitchen lessons, and classroom lessons.
Research has shown that healthy school meals can better academic performance, including improved test scores. Though the Farm to School program is not aimed only at lower-income students, Jones said,“Such kids are more likely to eat lunch provided by the school.”Eventually she wants to get healthy, affordable meals on the plate of every child in Livingston.
It is important for kids to understand where their food comes from. That's a life-changing experience for them. Jones said,“When I grew up a big force in my life was my grandma Ethel. She taught me from a really early age the value of growing my own food. I worked in her gardens with her and somehow, through all of those experiences-eating her tomatoes and canning pickles(泡菜) with her-it really built up my trust and knowledge in food systems. I’m so thankful to her ! ”
24．Who is“Farmer Jones”according to the text?

Cortana，Alexa，Siri，these are names of robotic voices that are often programmed on electronic tablets. They also become default(默认) identities for people with speech disorders who rely on technology to communicate. Now some speech scientists are developing personalized voices to reflect the broader diversity of the people who use them. To do it, they are tapping into a vast network of volunteers who are donating their voices to share with people who cannot speak.
The effort to build an international“Human Voicebank ”has attracted more than 17,000 volunteers from 110 countries, including Priyanka Pandya，a 16-year-old from Columbia，MD.，who plans to spend her winter vacation recording a string of sentences into her computer. “To be able to give somebody the gift of voice, I think that's really, really powerful,”she said.
“Everyone has a voice,”said Rupal Patel, founder of VocaliD，the company that started the voicebank，“Even people who are unable to speak have sounds that are unique to them. ”Her company designs personalized voices by recording the unique sounds of the user, and then mixing them with 6 t0 10 hours of recordings from a voice donor, matched by age, gender and region. The company is developing voices now for its first 100 customers.
Also, people’s voices change. The company is looking for donors who are willing to record their voices, and then record them again a few years later, as they get older. .
Some of the first customers say they are happy with the results. John A. Gregoire was one of the first customers to receive a personalized voice from VocaliD last December. The voice came eight years after he developed ALS(肌萎缩侧索硬化症) and more than six years have passed since his voice became unintelligible to everyone except his wife and youngest son. “Having a distinctive voice is like getting something back that was stolen,”John said. 28．What can we know about the voicebank？
A．It collects all kinds of voices. B．It gains strong public support. C．It helps to recognize special voices. D．If offers people personalized voices free.
