Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start
work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers (志愿者). Volunteers
give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for
the environment.
Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now
she"s living in Belize. Pauline says, "I"m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the
sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted (污染), the coral dies. I"m
helping to do research on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are
dying. We need to do something about the problem before it"s too late."
"I"m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don"t get any money, but that"s OK. I love

Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can"t fill her stomach with
water because it"s polluted (被污染), and who has watched lives slipped away (消失) from her father, little
brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor. She would gladly walk miles to school, but her
mother needs her badly (非常) at home. What will her future be?
Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pestora, it is real life.
But with just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor (资助) a child like Maria. Through "Save the Children", you
can help Maria"s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner, and get the
money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.
To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors. Building schools, hospitals,
bringing in clean water is what "Save the Children" has been working on since 1932.
For you there are many rewards. You have the chance to write to or hear from the child you sponsored, to
receive photos or progress reports, to know you are reaching out to another person, not with a handout
(救济品), but a hand up. That"s how "Save the Children" works. But without you, it can"t work. Please take a

and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very
slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the
developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world"s
population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the
world"s people.
In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty (贫困) line. These
people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school
and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the world"s population was around six billion. The U.N. has said that the
world"s population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world"s
population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls.

| "Tom? Are you in bed yet?" called Mrs.White. There was no answer. Mrs. White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son"s room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast. "Oh, Tom. You"re still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, it"s half past eleven.
