It isn't strictly true that one half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. It is one-third that is very rich and two-thirds that are very poor.
People in the rich countries don't understand the great difference between them and those in the poorer countries. A very simple example is that a dog or a cat in north America eats better than a child in the poorer countries. A fisherman in South America may be catching fish which is processed into pet food, and his own children are not getting enough to eat for their bodies to grow properly.
Although a lot of the world's natural resources like oil come from these poorer countries, people in the richer countries are using about sixty times as much of these resources as people in Asia or Africa. And it's the richer countries that decide what kind of prices they are ready to pay for these resources. And the prices the richer countries get for their own exports, however, are always rising. So they are getting richer and richer and the poorer countries are getting poorer.

3.A lot of the world's natural resources come from ________.

While travelling abroad, Mr. Jackson Frank spent almost all the money he took with him. So he wrote his brother, asking for $ 500. “Send the money by telegram”, he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank in P…”
After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. “Nothing has come for you.” He was told. This went on for two weeks, and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, but there was no reply.
In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for not being able to pay his hotel bill. His passport and luggage were taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He stayed in prison for sixty days.
When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $ 500 for me?” he asked, “My name is Jackson Frank.”
The clerk checked his books. “Yes, Mr. Jackson, it's her. It came by telegram more than two months ago. We wondered where were.” He showed Mr. Frank the order.
The order read:“Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $ 500.”
“But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson.”
“Oh, that's all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter 'J', but it's your money.” The clerk laughed. “A human mistake, sir! We're all human beings, aren't we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me.”

The red phone box in Britain is a perfect example of the British traditional culture. However, with the fast development of mobile phones, it has lost its place in people’s everyday life. In order to save their loved red phone boxes, people have come up with many ideas, for example, to turn them into toilets or art houses.
In a village in Somerset, a place in South West England, villagers have found a new way to save their red phone box. They turned it into a mini library to deal with the shortage of libraries in their area. The idea was given by a local villager, Janet Fisher, who lives opposite the phone box. Villagers got together to set up the book box. Over 100 books and a lot of movies and music CDs are available at this mini library. The books are of different kinds, including from cooking books to the classics and children’s books. People can put the books that they have read inside the phone box, and take away the books that they’d like to read. The books are always changing. There is a regular check on the books to keep the phone box collection fresh.
Anyone is free to come to read books there. The phone box library is open every day around the clock and is lit (the past form of “light”) at night. “ It’s very pleasing that the red phone box has been saved. More importantly, it can continue providing a service for us,” said one of the villagers.
【小题1】The red phone box has been a symbol of _________.
A.the British culture |
B.the European art of building |
C.the development of mobile phones |
D.British people’s daily life |
A.make it like the new one |
