by Norman Macrae Since 1974, all UN World Population Conferences have over-estimated the annual growth of world population, but in fact the rate of growth has been declining We have now reached the stage when the average number of children per woman is falling fast in most of the world The rate has come down sharply, with increasing prosperity, even in Catholic Latin America The high rates of six or seven children now only exist in Africa and some parts of the Islamic world A World Bank study finds that in areas where there no girls in secondary schools, the average women has seven children If we continue with UN Population Conferences every ten years ( 1974, 1984, 1994), the Conference in 2004 will produce the opposite panic to today’s This is that we are breeding too few babies But we will then make the awful discovery that we are keeping alive too many of the world’s old people because most citizens in rich countries will properly start to live through their nineties We have made medical care a universal right, free for the old – who need much more medical care than younger patients We have abandoned the culture whereby the elderly live with the family at just the wrong moment From The Economist, December 1994 * Match the first half of the sentences in column A with the other half in column B according to what you have read Column A Column B The factual rate of population growth has been declining, a the number of children per woman is still high The average number of children per woman has fallen together with b that is too few babies will be born Where girls not receive education, c in contrast with the estimations by UN World Population Conferences In the future the opposite situation may occur, d more people in rich countries living through their nineties Free medical care for the elderly result in e better living standards even in poor areas * Answer: ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… III Read the passage and the following tasks (2pts) The starting point for many new collections is to ask family and friends to save stamps from their incoming mail Although the stamps received by major businesses, and those kept by elderly relatives, may be of international and historical interest, the stamps received from family members are often of the definitive sort Definitives seem mundane but, considering their variety of colours, watermarks, paper differences, perforations and printing errors, they can fill many pages in a collection Introducing either variety or specific focus to a collection can require the purchasing of stamps, either from a dealer or on line Large numbers of relatively recent stamps, often still attached to fragments or envelopes, may be obtained cheaply and easily Rare and old stamps can also be easily obtained via similar channels, with costs extending far beyond the means of all but a tiny minority of collectors Duplicate stamps are the stamps that a collector already has, and are therefore not required to fill a gap in a collection Duplicate stamps can be sold or traded, so they are an important medium of exchange among collectors Many stamp dealers sell their merchandise over the Internet Others have neighborhood stamp shops, one of the best resources for the beginning and intermediate collectors Some dealers also jointly set up weekend stamp markets called “Bourses” that move around a region from week to week They also meet collectors at regional exhibitions and stamp shows * Decide whether the statements are true (T), false (F) or not given (N) ……… Stamps from major businesses are more beautiful and expensive than those from friends and relatives ……… Definitive stamps are common stamps about different fields in everyday life ……… Rare and old stamps cannot be obtained from a dealer or online ……… Collectors often exchange duplicate stamps with each other ……… Beginning collectors can find stamps in a stamp shop …… “Bourses”, exhibitions and stamps shows are held every week for stamp dealers * Read the passage again and circle the correct answer (A, B, C or D) that best completes each sentence What does the word “those” in paragraph refer to? A major businesses B family and friends C stamps D new collectors What of the following is the word “relatively” in paragraph closest in meaning to?
