Here is some cool information about the world's population. 

         

It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years,this can slow the growth of the world's population. 

         

The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic(象征的)baby. For example,the world's population reached 8 billion on November 15,

2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. 

         

More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 

1. 8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 

24. That's the largest number ever(有史以来). 

(1)、What was the population of the world in 2022?
A、About 7 billion. B、About 8 billion. C、About 9 billion.
(2)、When was Vinice Mabansag born?

(4)、What's the main idea of the passage?
A、Interesting facts about the world's babies. B、New information about the United Nations. C、Cool information about the world's population.

举一反三
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项。

    If you had billions of dollars, would you donate almost all of it to charity? Well, that's what Mark Zuckerburg, CEO and founder of Facebook, just said he would do.
    Zuckerburg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 90% of their Facebook shares to society. Right now that is about $45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.
    Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge, an activity in which billionaires promise donate more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15 countries joined it.
    But giving back and helping others isn't just for big billionaires. People like Zuckerberg, and Gates may have more to give, but people with less are doing it, too.
    Especially around the holidays, people want to do their part and give back to people who are less lucky than them. Schools may have food collections where people bring a few food items, and together they can make a big donation to places like homeless people's homes.
    People also host special events like concerts of runs to be creative while raising money. Regular people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the American Red Cross.
    Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways like education, health and improving the lives of the poor. These individual donations come together to make a big difference.
