1,The designer’s aim is to produce a h__________ of shape and texture.

2,New research shows that Earth will have more than nine thousand million people by two thousand fifty. The world population is at present about six point four thousand million.

The research is from the Population Reference Bureau, a private group based in Washington. It says most growth will take place in developing countries in Africa and western Asia.

India is expected to pass China as the world’s most populated nation. By the middle of the century, the report says, India will have over one and one-half thousand million citizens, an increase of fifty percent.

China has one point three thousand million people at present. The Population Reference Bureau says the population should increase about ten percent by two thousand fifty.

Most developed nations will see a drop in their populations. The only big exception is expected to be the United States. The report says the United States will remain the third biggest nation. The population is close to three hundred million now. It is expected to reach four hundred twenty million. The report says this will

be because of immigration（移民）and low death rates among babies. Between now and two thousand fifty, Niger is expected to be the fastest growing country. The biggest decrease(下降) is expected in Bulgaria.

The study is based on information from governments and the United Nations. Researcher Carl Haub wrote the report. He examined infant(婴儿) death rates, life expectancy, birth rates and the age structure of nations. The study also considered family planning use and, for the first time, rates of AIDS.

Mister Haub says most growth will take place in countries with young populations and traditionally large families. He points to Nigeria and Japan as two nations that are moving in opposite directions in terms of population.

7,It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an

important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难) or even a wonder.

There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) -bread, vegetables and other things - not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad should happen.”

Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals education or helping the old.
