red flag (红旗) today. Could you please sign this note?" he said. The note showed that he had been talking during
reading time. He gets a "red flag" Only once in a while. His real worry is that he hardly ever gets top scores in his
school work. The best he gets is "OK" but often his score is "You can do better than this". My mum tells me
"You can do better than this" would mean "Very bad" in China. It"s interesting, though, because teachers for little
kids in America never say anything too bad about their students; even if the students are making trouble in class
or not working bard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are pleased
with a B-grade for each subject.
I"ve heard that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期望) are very high for students. Even
from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing. I sometimes felt that my first-grade
Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US (this is the same as
the 6th grade in China)! Yet his parents thought he was a bad student. But to me, he was smart, even though he
didn"t meet his parents" expectations. My parents tell me that some students who live in China before coming to
this country are years earlier in maths and science!
Do you think it"s too strict in China? Or do you think that it"s not strict enough in America? Maybe both are

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.
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. Children get little 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 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. | 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

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

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,

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
