With more and more farmers coming to work in cities,their children follow them. However,problems appear. One of these 66     is that it is difficult for these children to get 67      in the cities.

A school officer said they needed at least one 72      yuan to run the school. “Luckily,some people and companies donate(捐赠）money,used books and a lot more other things to help us. Also some people work as 73      for free,” he added.

In one word,both the government and the people keep improving the whole country’s education either in countries or in cities. Don’t you think the children nowadays are 74      than their parents? Anyhow,we must try to give them an equal chance  to get  better  education so that we can  75       our  society a harmonious (和谐的)one.

  Is the world too crowded? Well,that’s a hard question to answer. It’s all a matter of perspective (视角).In Montana,you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao,60,000 people live in every square mile!

What is true is that the world’s population doesn’t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate (比例）. That’s because in each generation (代）there are more people who then have children than that in the last generation.

Five hundred years ago,the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world’s population was under 2 billion. Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means，if this rate of growth continues，when you are a parent,there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow!Now that’s a lot of people!Soon the world’s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry about that!But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals(相当于）too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are,the more resources (资源)the world needs to feed,and take care of all of them,and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth’s resources.
