Many of the world's pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into the cities．Supply for the needs of the people leads to further      by industry．If the rapid increase of world population continues at the present rate, there may be much greater      to human beings．
Some scientists speak of the increase in numbers of people as "population pollution''．
About 2,000 years ago, the world population was about 250 million．It       a billion in 1850．By 1930 the population was two billion．It is now six billon．It is      to double by the year 2020．If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there will be 25 billion people in the       a hundred years from now．
Man has been      the earth's resources more and more       over the past years．Some of them are almost gone．Now many people believe that man's greatest problem is how to control the       of the population．The material supplies in the world will be far from enough to       the human population if the present rate of increase continues．
There is already over-crowding in many cities and starvation in some countries．Many people believe that human survival in the future       on the answer to the question．

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I ’m left      . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other          ？
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,     children from different races and religions played and studied       in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone s     from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and Iwas an Indian Hindu——we just       our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice，well        or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd          the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to         the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his     .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail s family later returned to their village, and I          touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I         my destination. The driver acknowledged my         but did not move off. Instead, he looked       at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname(綽號). I was astonished at being so      addressed (稱呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two     we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something      to describe.
If we can allow our children to be       without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be     their side through' thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and     we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, 44we happy few, we band of brothers".

Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing: don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline; don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
If you’re mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.
Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their boss may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.
To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.
小題1:What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A．Present problems.
B．Propose your solution.
C．Put yourself in the boss’s position.
D．Make the issue clear.
小題2:If you want to ask the boss for anything, it is important to find out first _________.
A．how he is feeling.
B．whether the boss had breakfast.
C．whether he is on deadline.
D．whether he had taken a vacation.
小題3:What is the best title of the passage?
A．How to Propose Your Solution.
B．Never Give in to Your Boss.
C．How to Argue with Your Boss.
D．Learn to Understand Your Boss.
小題4:From the passage, we can infer that_____________.
A．you don’t go into the boss’s office when you are angry
B．you can present the boss with a problem only.
C．when you offer advice to your boss, don’t think of the troubles he may have.
D．when you go into the boss’s office, keep your voice all the time.
小題5:It is necessary to make clear to the boss ___________.
A．what problems he has.
B．why you are mad.
C．what position you are in the company.
D．what you really want to talk to him about

Finding true happiness is a universal aspiration (渴望). We all want it, but can we all have it? Genuine happiness is written all over our faces when we are truly contented, and, likewise, a forced smile does nothing to hide underlying sadness.
Believing that everyone can create their own lasting joy, Matthieu Richard has been declared the Happiest Man in the World. Richard earned his “happiest man” status after a series of laboratory tests in 2004. Richard has shared his thoughts on happiness with a worldwide audience. As an experienced speaker, he has explained his insights into happiness to everyone, from students to corporate groups. Looking inwards to find joy rather than relying on outer conditions, he believes, is the way to achieve well-being.
“It’s quite clear that the outer conditions are not enough. The way we interpret those outer conditions in our inner experience is what determines either a sense of well-being or misery. We love to go jogging for fitness and we do all kinds of things to remain beautiful, yet we spend surprisingly little time taking care of what matters most: the way our minds function. It’s the essential thing that determines the quality of our experience.” Besides this, Richard stresses that it is not what’s happening around us that makes us unhappy, but rather the way we choose to react to it.
The pursuit of happiness is becoming a modern obsession（癡迷）. As life becomes more complex, our ability to process our reactions to various outside influences comes under strain. “Genuine happiness” he says, “doesn’t mean pleasant feelings one after the other. It’s more like a series of qualities that we can develop as skills — like openness, genuine love, compassion, inner strength and inner peace.” 
小題1:Richard has been declared the Happiest Man in the World _______.
A．because he has shared his thoughts on happiness with a worldwide audience
B．a(chǎn)fter he has explained his insights into happiness to everyone
C．a(chǎn)fter a series of laboratory tests
D．because he tries his best to achieve happiness and well-being
小題2:According to Richard, what is the best way to achieve well-being?
A．Interpreting those outer conditions in our inner experience.
B．Looking inwards to find joy rather than relying on outer conditions.
C．Spending little time taking care of what matters most.
D．Reacting to various outside influences in the modern world.
小題3:What determines the quality of our experience?
A．The way our minds react to outer conditions.
B．Insights into happiness that we hold.
C．The constant pursuit of happiness in our life.
D．Those outer conditions affecting our happiness.
小題4:How can we pursuit happiness?
A．Go jogging for happiness.
B．Do everything to remain beautiful.
C．Make sure that our minds are functioning normally.
D．Develop necessary qualities.

These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they       wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often         to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a（an）      for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He     told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home     in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and    the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his        . Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found       job. He will soon be working in an office. He will earn much less than he used to, but he feels that his rise in      is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs'        'Alf'.

Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams to rivers to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves .A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about .These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of“virtual water（虛擬水）”.
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops，according to water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats .These products are shipped around the world.
For example．consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310litersofthewater—about 95％—is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4％goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．
According to Hoekstra’s new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.   
In the United States most of the virtual water used comes from American sources .In China even less of the water associated with its products
小題1:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Crops and Virtual WaterB．Import and Export of Water

小題3:The example of a sugary soft drink in Paragraph 3 is given to show_________.
A．how drinks are madeB．how virtual water is used
C．how virtual water is exportedD．how drinks are shipped
小題4:In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside?
A．lsrael and AmericaB．America and the Netherlands
C．China and the United KingdomD．Kuwait and the Netherlands
小題5:The passage is most probably a_________.
A．science news reportB．book review
C．newspaper advertisement D．science fiction story
