If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (French), or a watch in Switzerland? No matter {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you may buy, you might think those products {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) in those countries．However, you could be wrong．Kang Jian is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 18-year-old student from Shanghai．Last year he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (go) to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco．He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China．“I wanted to buy a toy car {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my cousin, but even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China．” Toys are not the only things made in China．“I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains．“But I had to visit five or six stores before{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (buy) products made in China．“In fact,” he continues, “there {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) many other things there made in China — footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones．Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it's great that China is so good at making these everyday things．However, he wishes that in the future China will also get {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world．

    I'm from a beautiful village in the middle of Zhejiang. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} nice and quiet place and it has a population of about 900. There {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) a lot of things to do there, with a library, a park and a sports center. It's famous {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the beautiful mountains.

    On weekends, people from the big {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (city) come here to relax themselves. They go hiking, pick fruit and have a picnic. Villagers in the past were poor, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} now they are living a wealthy life. Most young people have {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) own cars. People in my village are kind and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (friend). They like chatting with you and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tell) you some stories about the village. If you are lucky enough, they will invite you {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have) meals with their family. I'm sure you will have a lot of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (fun)!

    When you read the sentence, the population of the earth has grown by10 people. That may not sound much, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it's about 14, 000 people per hour. Most of these new people are born in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (develop) 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 {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(slow). This is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} women in these countries have, on average(平均), only one or two children. But in the developing countries, many women have five {#blank#}5{#/blank#} more children. In the developing countries, more than one billion people already live below the poverty level(贫困线). These people don't have enough food {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (eat) and they live in poor housing. Children get little or no time at school and suffer from many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (kind) of diseases.

    The UN has said that the world's population will reach over 10 {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (billion) by the year 2100.If the number {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) your head spin(眩晕), you're not alone. Many experts(专家) are worrying that so fast population {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (grow) could have very bad results. It could hurt the environment and increase the number of poor people.
