B. Calculation of Population Growth.
C. Efforts Made to Lower the Mortality Rate (死亡率)
D. High Fertility Rates in Developing Countries.
E. Low Fertility Rates in Developed Countries.
F. Birth Control Programs.
1. _____
     Population growth is determined by the relationship between births and deaths.The growth rate is
calculated by the birth rate minus the death rate.If the birth rate is 4%, for example, and the death rate
is 3%, the population growing at rate of 1% per year.
2._____
     Historically, families had many children, but average life expectancies are low and many children died
young.Improvements in nutrition and public health programs in the past 30 years have led to a drop in
the mortality rate and hence to more rapid population growth.
3._____
     Public health programs and improved nutrition over the past 30 years have brought about declines in
mortality rates in the developing nations.But fertility rates (出生率) have not declined as quickly, and the
result has been high rates of population growth.Reduced population growth depends to some extent on
decreased birth rates.
4._____
     Family planning and modern forms of birth control are important mechanisms for decreasing fertility,
but by themselves such programs have had rather limited success in most countries where they have been
tried.If family planning strategies are to be successful, they must make sense to the people who are
supposed to benefit from them.
5. _____
     To a great extent, in developing countries people want large families because they believe they need
them.In some societies, children are important sources of farm labor, and they may thus make significant
contributions to household income.In societies without any social security programs for the aged, children may also provide a vital source of income for their old parents.

     Flying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless-you just have to book
your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport. You board the plane and
several cocktails and movies later, you arrive at your destination. People are becoming more aware of
their smart travel. Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler.
     Easy checkin
     Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MAS Web CheckIn (malaysiaairlines.com) in
the comfort of your own home or office. Passengers can now check in online anytime from 24 hours to
90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time (出發(fā)時(shí)間). This is available for flights departing
from all MAS stations-except Paris, Kunming, Xiamen and Bandar Seri Begawan-to all MAS
destinations. You can even select preferred seats online.
     Bag hygiene (衛(wèi)生)
     No, we're not talking about the cleanliness of your bags!It's aviation talk for a bag that doesn't carry
any old baggage tags (標(biāo)簽) with barcodes (條碼) that could confuse the baggage sensor (探測(cè)裝置).
If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo, it could be because of your old
baggage tag. Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcodes; bags
are misdirected because the sensors can't read the codes correctly.
     Less is more
     Most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage. This will not
only help protect the airline workers' health, it will also be easier for you to carry your bags around.
Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your checkin luggage. Ensure that locks are
properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts.
Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at checkin to protect the locks from contact with
the conveyor belt.
1. The passage mainly tends to tell us how to travel________.
A. in a comfortable way  
B. in a fashionable way
C. in a neat and orderly way  
D. in a cheap and safe way
2. From the passage, we can know that passengers________.
A. can check in without going to the airport
B. have to check in 24 hours earlier
C. are required to check in on the MAS Web
D. can select their favorite seats when getting aboard
3. What are the reasons why the baggage is often missing according to the passage?
a. The bags are too old and dirty.
b. The sensors can't read the barcodes correctly.
c. The old tag is still on your bag.
d. The bags are too heavy to check in.
A. a; b  
B. b; c  
C. c; d  
D. b; d
4. Judging from the writing style of the passage, it is________.
A. a piece of advertisement
B. a science report
C. a passage for professional reading
D. a passage from a magazine

     Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it

      1 There are people who can answer an insignificant(無關(guān)緊要) advertisement in the local paper and
land the best job in the world; others writes to all sorts of places, and never seem to get a reply at all,and
then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the
right time.  2  He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never
thinking that he might one day sail one of them.One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of
a ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to
think, the young man offered to take his place.  3  
    This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. If the young
man had gone home to ponder(考慮) his decision for a week, he might have missed his chance. It is one
thing to be offered an opportunity.  4

Dear Reader,
     Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation.
      Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website.We have a small number of paid
staff,just twentythree.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation,which I founded in
2003.
      Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers-all devoted to sharing
knowledge freely.Over almost eight years,these volunteers  have  contributed  more  than 11 million
articles in 265 languages.More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access
information,free of charge and free of advertising.
      But Wikipedia is more than a website.We share a common cause:Imagine a world in which every
single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.That's our commitment.
     Your donation helps us in several ways.Most importantly,you will help us cover the increasing cost of
managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet.Funds also help us improve
the software that runs Wikipedia-making it easier to search,easier to read,and easier to write for.We are
committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide,by taking on new volunteers,and
building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.
     Wikipedia is different.It's the largest encyclopedia (百科全書)  in history,written by volunteers.Like a
national park or a school,we don't believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia.We want to keep
it free and strong,but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
      Thank you,
       Jimmy Wales

B. What is the present situation?
C. The purposes in Adult Education
D. Ways of Adult Education
E. The history of Adult Education
F. What is Adult Education
1. _____
     Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education.Such
education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may
want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out
about new technological development, seek better selfunderstanding, or develop new talents and skills.
2. _____
     This kind of education may be in the form of selfstudy with proper guidance through the use of
libraries, correspondence (函授) courses, or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools
and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.
3. _____
     Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the
rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were
moving from rural areas to cities: new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.
These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.
4. _____
     The earliest program of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the
founding of an adult school at Nottingham and a mechanics' institute at Glasgow.The earliest adult
education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in
Philadelphia in 1727.
5. _____
     People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For
example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining
programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up
constantly to meet these and other needs.

for more.The workload might be overwhelming but promotion only comes to those who are excellent or
do things that are out of the ordinary or beyond expectation.You must employ extreme dedication to
make sure that even as you ask for more, you do not compromise on the quality of work you deliver.

However, you need to be aware that you are doing this to make yourself important and not to become
another person.Often times, many workers seeking promotion will pretend to be something they are not.
