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.

she"s living in Belize. Pauline says, "I"m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the

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

water because it"s polluted (被污染), and who has watched lives slipped away (消失) from her father, little

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.

farmland is becoming less and less to everyone. We have already got too many mouths to feed. 5 we control
the population growth, many people will die 6 hunger. Too fast population growth have been and will be bad
for our nation. Though laws have been passed to control the population growth, in some places 7 is done to
carry out (贯彻) the laws. We should make people 8 that it is foolish of them to bring too many children into
the world. They shall no longer do what they have been doing for many years.
We are fighting 9 too fast population growth. Yet the fighting won"t end 10 everyone knows its
important and does something for it.
