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．

When I settled in Chicago，my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. Then I had a         problem and had to go to hospital for a        check-up.
It seemed a small        compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go    right from the beginning. Not having a car or        the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get me from A to B.        I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was        I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly got on a bus that was taking me in the       direction.
I      the bus and stood on the pavement(人行道) not knowing what to do, I looked into the eyes of a        , who was trying to get past me.      , instead of moving on, she stopped to ask if I was        . After I explained my        to her, she pointed to a bus stop across the street, where a bus would take me back into the city to my        . Sitting there waiting, I felt        that someone had been willing to help.       , hearing a horn （喇叭）nearby, I looked up to see a car with my new friend       at me to get in. She had returned to offer me a       to the hospital.
Such unexpected         from a stranger was a lovely gift to receive. As I climbed out of the car at the hospital and turned to thank her, she smiled and told me not to lose       , for all things are possible.

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'.

He introduced himself to the old man by saying，“I was a      of your son .I was the one he was      when he died．May I come in for a few moments? I have something to show you．”
As the two began to     ，the soldier told of how the man’s son had told everyone of his，not to mention his father’s，      of fine art．“I am no     ，”said the soldier，“but I want to give you this．”
As the old man unwrapped the package ，he saw a portrait （画像）of his son．Though the world would        consider it the work of a genius，the painting featured the young man’s face        detail．
Overcome with emotion，the man      the soldier．After the soldier had left，the old man put the painting above the fireplace，pushing       thousands of dollars worth of art．His task completed，the old man sat in his chair and spent Christmas gazing at the        he had been given．
