He is familiar with the saying that each farmer can expect to have 40 opportunities to improve their harvest. And it's not just farmers who know there's a clock running on their efforts. " We all need to recognize that we only have a fixed amount of time to affect change," said Howard G. Buffett(HGB) HGB wants to invest more than $3 billion, in an effort to end global hunger and poverty for the world's nearly one billion poor people by 2045. He's decided to focus much of his effort on farming in the developing world. He believes that the best way to deal with poverty is to change the lives of farmers in the poorest nations on the planet. "It's a pretty well proven fact that nothing works better at bringing people out of poverty than investment in rural areas," said HGB. Healthy soils are a most important part of productive farmers, but 1.5 billion people -- a fifth of the global population -- live on poor land. "You have to fix the soil," he said. HGB also has the idea that farmers who own their own land will raise crops with an eye to the long-term health of the soil. He would like to see that balanced with a foreign-aid plan. HGB notes that too often, experts want to make agriculture in developing nations look like farming in rich countries." It's not going to happen like that," said HGB. "You need to consider local differences, local culture." Many more ideas of HGB can be found in his new book, Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World. Question: What's the population of the whole world? - 1.5 billion - One fifth billion - 6 billion - 7.5 billion
7.5 billion

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together. "Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow. "Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa." They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?" I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn't said "Thank you." They didn't need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job--these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. Question: Two children came to the writer's front door because _ . - it was Thanksgiving Day - they were beggars - they wanted old papers - they wanted a cup of cocoa
Ans: they wanted old papers
