America and some 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, around one quarter
of the world"s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only
around one tenth of the world"s people.

said that the world"s population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think

falls.

How time flies! I have been back to school 1 two weeks. These days, I have 2 a lot about
the population in China.
China has a population of 1.3 billion. It has 3 about one fifth of the world"s population. About 80
percent of the people live in the 4 . It causes many difficulties. In less 5 areas, some parents
6 boys to girls. Not all the families can offer their children a good 7 . Some children can"t go
to school.
China has taken measures to 8 the population. China"s economy grows 9 faster and their
living conditions have changed a lot. Most of us have lived in bright and tall buildings. We have had ring
roads and they are wide enough. We have had more comfortable life.
However, the large population problem is still 10 in China.
How about the population of your country? Can you tell me about it?
Yours,

may not sound much, but it is 9,000 people in an hour, 1.5 million a week, or 79 million a year. That is the same
as adding most of the population of Germany to the world every year.
Most of these new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa,
South America 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, only one or two children. In
the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, around one quarter of the world"s
population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only around one tenth of
the world"s people.
In the developing countries, more than one billion people already live below the poverty (贫困) line. These
people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing; children get little or no time at school and
people 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 people. The UN has said
that the world"s population will level off at 12.5 billion people by the year 2100. Other groups think the world"s

Are you carrying too much on your back to school? I"m sure lots of your age will say "Yes". Not only the
students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.
Doctors are starting to worry about that younger and younger students are having problems as a result of
school bags being too heavy for them.
"It"s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it"s so heavy," said Rich Hammond, an 11-year-old
student in the US.
Rich is among students who have common school bags with two straps to carry them, but many other
choose rolling (转动的) bags.
But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and houses is still a problem for children. Many of them have
hurt backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.
But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own
body weight.
Scott Bautch, a black doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that
older children don"t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. "Children are losing their balance
and falling down with their school bags," he said.
Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books that they will be reading at
night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.
One of the best answer is , as some children said ,to have no homework at all.
