My little brother is six years old, in first grade. Yesterday, he gave mum a letter from his teacher. "I got a 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 true! |

Most new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa, South 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。 1. In what areas of the world can developing countries be found? 2. In 1950, what percent (百分比) of the world"s population lived in developing countries? 3. How can we describe the people who are living below the poverty line? 4. There will be twelve and a half billion people on the earth in 2100, won"t there? 5. 将文中画线部分翻译成汉语。 |

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the population of the world will have grown by ten people. That 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, South America and 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, 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 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 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 UN has said that the world"s population will level off at 12.5 billion people by the year 2100.

Are you carrying too much on your back to school? I"m sure lots of your age will say "Yes". Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags. Doctors are starting to worry about that younger and younger students are having problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them. "It"s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it"s so heavy," said Rich Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US. Rich is among students who have common school bags with two straps to carry them, but many other choose rolling (转动的) bags. But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and houses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt backs and necks because of the heavy school bags. But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight. Scott Bautch, a black doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don"t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. "Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags," he said. Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books that they will be reading at night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answer is , as some children said ,to have no homework at all. |

Do you know more and more Chinese artists have made regular donations to charity or put their efforts into charity work in China? Here let"s know some of them.
Faye Wong and her husband Li Yapeng started the Yan Ran Angel Foundation (基金会) for harelipped (兔唇的) children three years ago. It was named after their daughter. Its purpose is to help children under 14 to cure their harelips. The couple donated one million yuan (about $ 133,000) to start the organization. | Cong Fei was born in a poor family. He became a successful singer in Shenzhen. He helped 178 poor students and disabled people for more than 10 years. Before he died of an illness at the age of 37 in 2006, he decided to donate his cornea (角膜) to people with eye diseases. He helped six people see the world. | Guan Mucun has donated money to Project Hope to help poor students finish primary education. Thirty of these poor students have already finished high school with her support. Guan has also helped with charity work for environment protection, HIV/AIDS prevention, blood donation and "Mother Water". Guan had an unlucky childhood: her mother died when she was only 10. years old. With the help of the government and her neighbours, she grew up and was successful as a famous singer. | Action star Jackie Chan is a wholehearted supporter of charities including UNICEF, Operation Smile and his own Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation. In 2007, he used much of his spare time to visit the farthest parts of China on his Dragon"s Heart Charity Missions. The Dragon"s Heart Foundation aims to meet the needs of poor children and the elderly in the hardest-to-reach areas of the country. Chan has made several trips to these poor villages, bringing warm clothing, wheelchairs and school supplies, and helping to build schools. |
