The United States estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. By 2050, it’s projected to be one out of 5. This means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them.

Professor Richard Lee of the University of California at Berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. “Population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is costly,” he said.

Aging populations consume (消耗) more and produce less. With more people living longer, it could get expensive. But Mr. Lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning, it can be manageable.

Societies have different methods for caring for the elderly, but each carries a cost. Generally, there are three types of support. Seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. They can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the government.

In industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (公共資助的) support systems. These worked relatively well until recent years, when aging population growth in places like the United States and Western Europe began to gradually weaken the systems’ finances. These nations now face some tough choices. Mr. Lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable.

Most developing nations haven’t built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. These nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. But Mr. Lee says that doesn’t mean they can ignore the issue. “Third World countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies — now, before population aging even becomes an issue,” he explained.

1.“Aging” in this text means ___________________ .

A. there are more young people than old people

B. an increasing number of old people are dying

C. more and more young people are growing old

D. the percentage of old people in the world is increasing

2. What is Professor Richard Lee’s attitude towards population aging?

A. Indifferent. B. Negative.

C. Optimistic. D. Worried.

3.The publicly-funded support systems in industrialized nations___________________.

A. are facing the risk of failing

B. have failed to provide support for the old

C. will be replaced by other support systems

D. have greatly affected the nations’ economies

4. We can infer from the text that developing nations___________________.

A. don’t see population aging as an issue

B. should prepare for population aging.

C. are facing urgent situations of population aging

D. have better ways to deal with population aging.

If you haven’t heard of the expression, you must have been living under a rock for the past year，because“the world is big, and I owe it a visit” was all over the Internet last year.

This expression was chosen as one of 2015’s “popular cyber phrases” in China. When a year comes to an end, many institutions, including the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center, People’s Daily Online and CCTV, put together their lists of the Internet’s most used words and phrases.

Most of the selected words and phrases may seem funny and playful, but they can show lifestyle changes. The term “duoshoudang” meaning shopping addicts is a good example. The past year saw record-high online shopping sales in China, the world’s largest e-commerce market. In fact, according to Xinhua, e-commerce (電子商務(wù)) is “a new engine” for China’s economic development.

Meanwhile, although phrases like “xiasibaobaole” meaning “you scared the pants off me”may be a fun expression, they reflect the desire for attention now that social networking sites and apps such as weibo and WeChat have become part of people’s lives. “People now have a need to express emotion in bite-size, 140-character bits,” wrote The New York Times.

Here, Teens has picked some phrases from last year’s popular “cyber words” lists. Did you use them often?

The world is big, and I owe it a visit.

Seeing more of the world has become a hot topic for Chinese people in recent years. But never before had someone used it as an excuse to quit a job until Gu Shaoqiang did. The 35-year-old middle school teacher in Henan province struck a chord with (產(chǎn)生共鳴) the nation by posting her 10-word resignation letter: “The world is big, and I owe it a visit.”

The letter’s simplicity, honesty and bravery are what made it one of 2015’s top catchphrases (流行語), wrote Zhang Shixuan, a commentator for People’s Daily.

A pretty face can feed you, yet you choose to make a living off your talent.

Comedian Jia Ling is well known for her funny performances as well as her plump figure. So it came as a great surprise when a photo of her surfaced online, showing how slim and pretty she was in her younger years. In response, true to her humorous nature, Jia wrote this on Sina Weibo: “My story shows that I could totally have lived on my pretty face, yet I chose to rely on my talent.” Since then, the words have become popular when describing good-looking people who are still hardworking.

Other popular “cyber words” include “it’s your charm that matters”, “important things should be stressed three times”, “makers” (創(chuàng)客), “memeda”, a phrase to show cuteness and affection and “xiaoxianrou” referring to young and pretty men.

1.Which is the most popular network buzzword of 2015?

A. It scared me to death.

B. It’s your charm that matters.

C. Important things should be stressed three times.

D. It is not mentioned in the passage.

2.The underlined phrase“ living under a rock” is closest in meaning to ____________.

A. living far from satisfaction

B. living out your fantasy

C. living up to others’ expectation

D. living unexposed to the world

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Gu Shaoqiang resigned because of financial and mental pressure.

B. If you think Jia ling is fat and humorous, you may get the wrong end of the stick.

C. New words are a reflection of changing technology, politics, morals, and worldviews.

D. Hot online words basically bring more harm than good to Chinese culture.

When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to face the music," it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to "face the music", especially as children. We can remember father's angry voice, "I want to talk to you!” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!

The phrase "face the music" is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from?

The first explanation came from the American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. After they got their clue to go on, they often said. "It's time to face the music." And that was exactly what they did - facing the orchestra(樂隊) which was just below the stage.

An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "face the music" came to mean "having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice."

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. If you'd like to enjoy songs, you'll face the music.

B. When actors have to face the music, it means they have to go on stage to perform, however changeable the situation is.

C. When you have to face the music, it is probable that you have met something unpleasant.

D. If a child does something against his parent's will, maybe he'll face the music.

2.Why might an actor be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience?

A. Because the audience might be unfriendly.

B. Because he thought he might forget his lines.

C. Because he was afraid that his performance might not be perfect.

D. All the above.

3.From the passage we know that the expression "face the music" was first used by ________.

A. children B. a novelist

C. actors D. audience

4.What's the main idea of this passage?

A. Actors' behavior as they moved on to the stage.

B. The meaning and the origin of the phrase “face the music”.

C. A personal idea expressed by an American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper.

D. The feelings when we have to face the music.
