Is the world too crowded? Well, that"s a hard question to answer. It"s all a matter of perspective (视角).
In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao,60,000
people live in every square mile!
What is true is that the world"s population doesn"t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate
(比例). That"s in part because in each generation (代) these are more people who then have children than in
the last generation.
Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world"s population
was under 2 billion (十亿). Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth
continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now
that"s a whole lot of people! Soon the world"s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry
about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals (相当于) too many
people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources (资源) the world needs to feed,
house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the
earth"s resources. |

many ways-the buildings, the food, the national dresses and so on. At present, however, one large city is
similar to another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald"s,
their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of
office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands (品牌) of Japanese or European cars.
Then what is the foreign travel for? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they
cannot experience at home? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation"s
history and culture that are the main attractions. Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries
history and cultures used to be like, not what they arc like today. Tourists try to learn the history and culture
of foreign countries by visiting different kinds of museums.
Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. Their own special scenery (风景:)
would certainly attract tourists from other countries.
Finally, there is perhaps a country"s attraction; its people. A country is not just its old buildings, its works
of art (艺术品) or beautiful places, it"s also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand
attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness (友好) of the people there.
It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. The friendly, smiling people make visitors feel welcome.

of teenagers.
They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They have
lots of exams to take. And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends. They don"t have their
own time to do what they are interested in. Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted (近视).
They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about
playing computer games. Some spend too much time watching TV Another serious problem among teenagers
is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much junk food, but they take little exercise.
I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with the problems. They should make a plan for study and
hobbies and find time to relax as much as possible. | Information Card

kids any harm (害处)? And are there any ways parents can help kids stay away from bad games? The US
researchers are trying to find solutions to these problems.
They studied what video games could do to children. The researchers found game sellers had made big
changes to make sure the games didn"t harm kids. And they suggested that work should be done to find out
if video games affected children"s school work and health.
One problem found was that parents hadn"t taken enough notice of their kids" game-playing habits.
"Many game sellers put control (控制键) on the games to help parents make sure that children don"t play
games unsuitable for them," said David Walsh, the president (院长) of the National Institute on Media and
the Family. Parents should watch the games kids are playing and know how much time they are spending
playing them.
The study found that playing games too long could affect kids" health as well as their school work. Almost
half of all "heavy garners" were six to seventeen years old. These kids were more likely to have weight and
eyesight problems than other kids. Playing too many games also affected how children did at school.
Kids are supposed to ask their parents to set a time limit (限制) for playing games and remind them
when the time is up. | | 1. The US researchers are trying to find out _____. | A. whether games do any good to kids
