   Most new people were born in developing countries. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. 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 population.

    In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. Children get little time at school and people suffer(遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.

    The UN 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.

A. At the beginning of the 21st century, the world's population was around six billion.

B. It is growing very fast.

C. This is because women in these countries have, on average(平均),only one or two children.

D. These countries are found in much of Africa, South America and some parts of Asia.

E. A lot of them care nothing about the environment.

F. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing.

Recently, a study published (发表) in BMC Medicine, found that sitting in front of the TV for a long time was a risk for people's health. 

After scientists used data ( 数据) on 370,000 people, covering 12 years, they found about 9,000 developed

heart disease.  They found people with genes (基因) of heart problems were more likely to develop heart disease.  However, they found that people without such genes watching more than four hours of TV every day were also at the greatest risk of heart disease. People spending 2 to 3 hours a day watching TV had a 6% lower risk.  And those who watched less than an hour had a 16% lower risk.  The scientists of the research team finally found cutting TV watching time to less than an hour a day could prevent 10% of heart disease. 

In life, people who want to watch more TV programs might be the group at a higher risk, for they are easy to spend more time watching TV.  If they have more snacks while watching TV, it might add the risk of putting their hearts in danger.  So, if people want to watch TV longer, standing up and moving the body, or hanging out will work. But limiting their time on TV could be a more useful way to help them avoid possible heart problems in the future.

The African elephant is Earth's largest land animal by far. Asian elephants are a little smaller than African elephants. They mainly live in 1  of India and Southeast Asia. About 30% of Asian elephants live in captivity (圈养). 

To 2  elephants, the World Elephant Day was set up in 2012. People 3  it on August 12th every year. In China, there are about 300 4  elephants. Most of them are in Yunnan, Southwest China. And they are 5  first- class state (国家一级的) protection. August12th of 2023 was the 6  World Elephant Day. China celebrated it in a safari park in Guangzhou. 

As we all know, 15 7  elephants moved to the north of Yunnan from the forests 3 years ago.8  said that it was uncommon for them to move so far. It made many people become 9  the reason. Some elephant lovers thought 10  they just wanted to look for food. In fact, to protect the elephants, the Chinese government 11  more than 160 nature reserves (保护区) in Yunnan. However, the number of elephants is 12  so fast. Now there isn't enough food for them, so they decided to leave their home. 

Nobody was sure about the 13 , but the fact was that their"journey" to north broke (打破) the peace of some villages. They destroyed farms along the way and made people in 14 . The police tried to stop the situation from getting worse all the time. They took lots of food to feed those wild elephants15  guide them to a safe place. 

Anyway, it is a long way to protect elephants.
