    India has a population of about 1. 32 billion. Its population is the second largest in the world. China has the largest population of about 1.37 billion. One out of six people on this planet live in India. Although, the crown(王冠) of the world's most populous(人口稠密的) country is on China's head for many years. India will take the position by 2030. With the population growth rate at 1.58%, India will have more than 1. 53 billion people by the end of 2030.

    Now more than 50% of India's population is below the age of 25 and over 65% below the age of 35. About 72.2% of the population lives in some 638, 000villages.

    Some of the reasons for India's quickly growing population are poverty, illiteracy(无知),decrease in death rates and immigration(移民) from Bangladesh and Nepal. India started taking measures to stop the growth rate quite early. India had the “National Family Planning Programme” in 1952. It became the first country in the world to have a population policy.

When do you become an adult (成年人)? The answers are different from country to country. In modern China, adulthood for both boys and girls starts at the age of 18. By the time most people reach 18, they have finished high school and are ready for university. So a person's 18th birthday often means a celebration of both adulthood and the start of college life.

Did children in ancient China become adults at 18? In fact, boys in ancient China became adults at 20 and girls at 15. And there was a ceremony to celebrate this time. After the ceremony, a young person could be called an "adult".

For girls, the ceremony was called Ji Li. "Ji" is a kind of hairpin (发夹). In ancient times, only girls from rich families could have this ceremony. It was simple and didn't take much time. Before the ceremony, a girl would tie her hair on the top of her head. At the ceremony, a woman in the family would put a hairpin on a girl's hair. It meant she was now an adult. After the ceremony, she needed to learn a lot, like the right way to speak and dress.

For boys, the ceremony was called Guan Li.  ▲  Before the ceremony, a boy's family often chose a lucky day and invited many guests. On that day, the boy needed to dress up. The father would wash hands and put three hats on the boy's head, one by one. Then the boy would change into another set of clothes to go with the color of the hats. After these steps, the boy would become a "man".

I was doing the work in the garden yesterday. It was a soft evening and I was   making the most of it when I heard a neighbor's voice coming from the path out of our garden. 

I found there was a man lying on his back on the path with his eyes closed. I   recognized him. I had seen him doing the drunkard's(酒鬼) walk along that path several times. 

I stopped to walk out. " Do you need some help?"I asked. 

He opened his eyes and said, " Probably. " Then he told me because of arthritis(关节炎) he couldn't walk well at the most of times. I thought I should do it when he asked to help him go home where he lived a few hundred metres away. 

I tried to let him walk under his own strength with me guiding him but that   was getting us nowhere. It was easier to carry him, but that would be a real insult(侮辱) to him. So, I held his left hand with my left hand and grabbed his belt with my right hand. Then we started walking slowly. 

On the way he told me his name, what he had worked as, what holidays he had been, how wonderful his granddaughter was, what his wife's name was, and what a hard time she would give him when he got home!

Thank goodness! His wife wasn't in when we walked forty- five minutes back to his home. 

If we wait until we feel good about helping before we help, then people will go unhelped and we will become the ones who end up walking on by.
