The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively, each person produces less and this means a lower average income that could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a world wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population rather than one which is stable or in decline.
1. A small population may mean _______.
A. higher productivity, but a lower average income
B. lower productivity, but a higher average income
C. lower productivity and a lower average income
D. higher productivity and a higher average income
2. According to the passage, a large population will provide chance for developing _______.
A. agriculture B. transport system
C. industry D. national economy
3. In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _______.
A. goes up B. goes down
C. remains stable D. is out of control
4. According to the passage, slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for _______.
A. a developing nation B. a developed nation
C. every nation with a big population D. every nation with a small population
5. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because _______.
A. there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world
B. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development
C. different governments have different views of the question
D. even developed countries may have complex problems

I consider myself something of an expert of apologies. A quick temper has 1 me with plenty of opportunities (机会) to make them. In one of my earliest 2 , my mother was telling me, “Don’t watch the 3 when you say I’m sorry. Hold your head up and look the person in the 4 , so he’ll know you 5 it. ”
My mother thus made the key point of a (n) 6 must be direct. You must never 7 to be doing something. You do not 8 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 9 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turn out to be your 10 . You do not apologize to a hostess (主人), whose guest of your honor you treat 11 , by sending flowers the next mentioning your bad 12 .
One of the important things you should do for an 13 is a readiness to 14 the responsibility (责任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves 15 for the other person to 16 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 about themselves. That, after all, is the 18 of every apology. Whether the apologize is wholly or only partly 19 at fault, answering for one's 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women’s education may be all unusual field for economists(经济学家), but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on incentives(鼓励),provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of(剥夺) an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school — the prophecy(预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in avicious circle(恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advant-ages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
