人口问题(The Problems of Large Population)

It is reported that the world’s population was 6 billion in the year 2,000, and it is growing faster and faster. The world’s population problem is the greatest one because it brings lots of problems, such as water resources problem, more and more people losing their jobs and so on. These problems are mainly in the developing countries because the population of the developing countries is over 4/ 5 of the world’s popuation. So China, the largest developing country, has kept the policy one couple, one child.

2004 marks the 10th anniversary of the groundbreaking International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Egypt, in 1994.

Ten years ago, on the eve of World Population Day, a new campaign was launched to raise awareness of how international family planning helps save women and childrens lives, safeguard the environment, and slow population growth. 179 governments committed to it when they signed the Program of Action of ICPD, which prescribes the steps that will not only save millions of womens lives but empower（授权, 使能够）societies to achieve a better future.

Today, there are more than 6 billion people on the planet, with half of the worlds population under the age of 25-at or just reaching their childbearing（分娩）years.

Nearly 600,000 women still die each year from pregnancy-related causes. And an estimated 90 percent of infants whose mothers die at childbirth will not survive to their first birthday.

Wild species are becoming extinct 50 to 100 times faster than they naturally would, because of the impact of rapid population growth and increased population density in many countries.

Though population growth is slowing worldwide, more than 90 percent of current growth occurs in the developing world where needs are great and resources are scarce. And these nations have a huge unmet need for family planning services-over 150 million married women of reproductive age in the developing world indicate that they would prefer to postpone childbearing but are not using any method of contraception.

"Girl born today in the developing world faces better prospects than a girl who was born 10 years ago. School enrolment rates are increasing, mortality is declining and life expectancy（平均寿命） is rising, more and more women and couples are able to choose the number and spacing of their children and many countries are taking additional steps to confront HIV/AIDS. But progress is uneven, and in some cases slipping backwards. We need the strength and determination of a marathon（马拉松赛跑）runner to meet our goals during the next decade."

人口无论是在数量还是在结构上的变迁，都会对国家安全产生深刻影响，而中国今天正处在新一轮人口变迁中。

进入新世纪以来，中国面临的人口再生产状况已经发生了根本变化。中国人口在上世纪50、60年代，由传统的高出生、高死亡、低增长，转变到高出生、低死亡、高增长后，仅仅30年左右的时间，就已过渡到20世纪90年代以来的低出生、低死亡、低增长。而且，出生率下降的趋势基本不可逆转。

可以预见，在中国的工业化和城市化进程仍在加速推进的情况下，无论人口政策如何调整，今后中国人的生育观念也将很难回头，人口总和出生率将继续保持在世代更替水平之下甚至进一步下落。日本、俄罗斯和韩国等国在现代化过程中的人口变迁经历，都已说明了这一点。这两点变化决定了未来中国人口结构变化的走势，比如老龄化时代到来，性别比的失衡，还有独生子女在主流城镇社会成为中坚人口，以及少数族群人口在中国人口中的比重上升，在西部地区聚居度增大等。

这些变化使中国国家安全面临新的问题和挑战。首先就是发展安全。由于老龄化程度加深，社会总抚养比增大，用于老龄人口养老、医疗等的费用增多，将使国民收入中用于消费的部分增加，而用于投资的部分将不得不减少，使支撑国家长远发展的财政能力受到制约。如果中国因此发生经济停滞，今天中国人热衷说着的“大国崛起”、“伟大复兴”等等，将不过是镜花水月，一厢情愿。

二是军事安全。近20余年来中国国家利益日益拓展，对军事安全的需求不断增多。但在国民收入三部分：消费、投资和防务中，由于用于消费的部分增多，投入到国防的国民收入，将来也可能不得不压缩或受到很大限制。一个老龄化的社会必然在心理上总体趋向保守和防御，公众对于良好社会保障的压力会使国家不可能将更多财富用于国防建设。这一问题目前在中国还不明显，但再过一二十年，情况就有可能发生显着变化。

在中国国家利益日益拓展的情况下，如果没有足够的财政能力支撑足够的军事能力，这不仅影响军事安全，也影响发展安全。同时，一个独生子女占劳动力主体、老龄化程度日深的社会，也将侵蚀一个国家防范和进行战争的能力。在独生子女家庭占中国家庭总量几乎一半的情况下，整个社会对战争的承受能力将完全不同于以往。

三是社会安全。目前，中国尚未初步建成完善的全民社会保障体系，特别是在社会保障上城乡分别明显，中国两种社会和人口———城市社会与农村社会、城市人口与农村人口间的对立，今后也可能加剧，从而影响社会安定。

中国人口正由传统农业人口向现代工商业人口转换，大量农业人口进入城市后，一旦城市经济发生危机，很多人就将会在城市成为流民或游民。从一些国家从传统农业社会向现代工商业社会转型的情况看，人口转型同样产生过严重的社会问题，甚至由此引发过革命。

还有一点不能忽视，大量适婚男性将因男女比例失衡而无法组织正常家庭生活，这将不仅诱发贩卖人口现象的增多，而且可能加剧黑社会活动及其他危害社会安定因素。

四是文化安全。中国近些年来日益突出的信仰危机、价值观问题，很大程度上也与上世纪70年代以来人口结构的变化有关。中国传统儒家文明的继承是靠中国特定的生育文化来支撑的。然而，独生子女群体不仅在改变人口结构、社会结构，也在改变文明结构。有调查显示，独生子女在对家庭和社会的责任、集体意识、合作精神和牺牲奉献观念等方面，与以往多子女家庭出身的人群相比，有显着差异，在这一代人身上，中国传统价值观的色彩更为淡薄。

由人口变迁所带来的国家安全问题，有些已处于逐渐爆发期，有些还处于积累期，现在来看还不是特别严峻，但未来会对中国的发展形成重大影响。为此，中国的人口政策应该做出一些相应的调整。

与上世纪50年代至80年代的防止人口突然增长过多不同，今后中国更应防止的是，新出生人口规模因出生率下降而出现大幅度下降，以及人口性别比失衡程度加重。为此，应促使独生子女家庭在全国家庭数量中的比重逐渐减小，以保证国家发展安全，同时也保证中国传统信仰结构和文明传统不至于在一两代人之间就完全断绝，和保证未来中国军队中的绝大部分成员不是独生子女构成。再比如，在人口政策上，中国目前在不同地区对不同人口群体分别对待，这在一定时期有其必要性，但现在已有调整的必要。

更重要的是，中国应根据“人口红利”可能将于2015年左右丧失的情况，加快产业升级，摆脱单纯的劳动密集型经济发展模式。同时，推动产业转移，促进西部地区工商业发展，带动人口空间移动。在西部地区，特别是少数民族人口聚居程度比较高的地方，如果也能实现更高程度的工业化和城市化，将大大减小地区发展差别，促进社会发展公平，以及东西部之间的人****流。

In this new century 21, there are some "momentum" like tide coming toward us these the people. Brush weibo, QQ chat, grab a red envelope, brush WeChat circle of friends... . But the most popular or families are now talking about "two".

Two-child policy fully opened in 2015, for the policy decision, of course, someone glad someone is sick, and our family, also formed a "two sides" grandma and grandpa insist to have two children, dad neutral, mom, and I? , of course, is opposed to the reason, that is afraid of jumping out of a small one they called bean rivalry with me! Of course, this is the reason of my childhood, but now I grow up, but still hit the bottom of my heart against a second child.

If the second child, cause my family is the most direct economic burden. Circulated online, like a word "two-child policy to stimulate the building potential, stimulates the baby products market price, also stimulate the Australian cows, is not to stimulate our wages." Yes, two children come, will make money not much, but one more eat rice, how it makes family funds flows to come over? One is money, and the other is the effort.

Now most family are three living in the city, and the older generation of either in the local rural or at long distance, the parents go out to work during the day, children go to school, no one in the home, and let the child who is going to take? At that time, the older generation of the grandma and grandpa went out: "you dont have time to raise, we raise!" But what parents really comfortable leaving their kids with their parents.

Another is education. When a life after the second child, dont focus on the childs education, but to make money, some families have not a live, after all is a problem. If there is no education of children, when in the future is also increase the burden?

The last is the health problems. Now many women are already is "women", Eva is risky, as an old saying goes, cherish life, away from the second child.

Since the two-child policy is open, every New Years day is a holiday, relatives to come to the house a guest, and topic no matter talking about east or west, or south or north, will eventually pull back to the "two children" this topic. No matter to talk for hours, they were still relish. Finished talking, you should put the "target" to me.

"Jing art, how are you let your mother give you give birth to a baby brother!"

"Jing art, hurriedly to your mother for a brother and sister, after grow up or have a rely on!"

"......"

I wonder why they are said to have two children so simple, just cut the melon with chopping vegetables. They may never consider the mothers mood and pressure! So, no matter how they "alarmist" I remain the same beginners mind!

在21这个新世纪，不断有一些“势头”如潮流般向我们这些广大人民群众袭来。刷微博，聊QQ，抢红包，刷微信朋友圈…….但最热门还是属现在家家户户都在谈论的“生二胎”。

二胎政策于2015年全面开放，对于这个政策的决定吗，当然是有人欢喜有人忧，而我们家，也形成了“两派”爷爷奶奶坚持生二胎，爸爸中立，妈妈反对，而我呢?当然是反对了，理由嘛，还是怕蹦出个小豆丁和我争宠!当然，这已是我儿时的理由，可现在我长大了，却依然打心底反对二胎。

如果二胎来了，给我的家庭造成的最直接的就是经济负担了。就像网上所流传的一句话“二胎政策，刺激了楼房股势，刺激了婴儿用品的市场价，还刺激了澳大利亚的奶牛，就是没有刺激我们的工资。”是呀，二胎来了，会赚钱的人没多，反倒多了一个吃白饭的，这让家庭的资金如何流动得过来?其一是资金，其二就是精力了。

现在绝大多数的家庭都是一家三口生活在城市里，而老一辈要么在当地农村要么就在异地，白天父母外出工作，子女上学，家里无人，又让谁来带小孩?这时候，老一辈的那些爷爷奶奶就跳出来了：“你们没时间养，我们来养!”可是又有哪些父母真真正正能安心把孩子交给自己的爸妈。

再一个就是教育方面。当一个人生了二胎后，不会再把精力放在孩子的教育上，而是赚钱，毕竟有些家庭养不养的活都是个问题。如果没有在适时的时候教育孩子，那将来不也是徒增负担?

最后一个就是健康问题了。现在许多妇女都已是“高龄产妇”了，生娃都是有风险的，俗话说得好：珍爱生命，远离二胎。

自从二胎政策开放后，每逢过年过节，亲戚来家里做客，话题不管聊到东或西，还是南或北，终究会扯回“二胎“这个话题。不管聊上几个小时，他们还是津津乐道，乐此不疲。聊完了，就该把”矛头“指向我了。

“婧艺啊，你好让你妈妈给你生个小弟弟咯!“

“婧艺啊，赶紧去向你妈妈要个弟弟妹妹，以后长大也好有个依靠啊!”

“………”

我很不解，为何他们都把生二胎说得如此简单，就跟砍瓜切菜似的。他们或许压根没考虑到妈妈的心情与压力!所以，不论他们怎样“危言耸听“我依然不变初心!

Population expansion is one of the most serious problems in the world. With better hygienic conditions and better medical care, fewer babies die today. But the birth rate remains unchanged. Moreover, the death rate has been lowered considerably by various kinds of progress. People generally live longer than they used to. All these contribute to a series of problem: shortage of national resources and food supply crowded cities and high rate of unemployment.

To solve all these problems, we must take measures to control birth rate. The first important step is to educate people-to help them understand the advantages of small families. Another important measure is to raise peoples living standards. When people full understand the consequences of population expansion, and when their standard of living is raised, the birth rate will decline without compulsion.

Though it is a difficult task, we should try in a thousand and one ways to carry out birth control If we fail to do so, the world will be too crowded to live in, and the natural resources will be used up. Then we will no longer survive on earth.

The human race has experienced a consistent increase in population since the beginning of its history. Famine and disease have done little to offset this steady increase. Too many people are added annually to the population of the world. So both the causes of population increase and the results of having more people are worth careful study.

Culture evolution is the major factor responsible for population increase. Early in human development, people invented tools to hunt animals. Later they built shelters to protect themselves. Step by step, they made life easier. As a result, fewer died from natural forces, such as harsh climate and disease.

In the past, when population grew, there was unexplored territory to inhabit. But now, almost all the habitable land has been explored.From joozone.com.

The worlds population may reach 8.7 billion in 2033. It is clear that world population is a serious issue that needs careful attention. Human beings are unique to solve problems through cultural evolution.Facing the world population explosion in the near future. We must carry out the birth control program in order to save the mankind and save the world.

Nowadays,population as well as environment has become a very important problem.

With the development of China ,the population is growing faster and faster,though,Chinese government has put forward strageties, such as ,one child policy.But at the same time ,the increase has slown down,which is to our relief.

As for the environment,the biggest problem is that people do damage to it and seldome do they protect.So,we would like to say,if they still don·t stop those silly mistakes made to destroy the environment,one day ,human beings will be the last creature in the world. Protect the environment!Our earth is our mother for all of us.

Given is a table which clearly illustrates the striking trend of aged population in China from 1990 to 2050. During the first 22 years, the number of people aged 60 and above ascended slightly from 97.19 to 136 million, and since 2012 it is predicted that this number will surge remarkably, reaching 410 million in 2050. Meanwhile, the proportion of aged citizens revealed and will reveal the similar trend, and it will reach 27.4% in total population.

(二段版本一：分析老龄化社会问题和挑战)

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society. For one thing, aged society is best characterized by the more burden for youngsters to support parents, which will enable younger generation to work harder. For another, compared with the past and today, the aged citizens will play a more important role in society. A case in point is their age for retiring will be extended. Therefore, a larger proportion of senior citizens have to take more responsibilities in work, family and society.

Accordingly, it is advisable for Chinese government to focus more eyesight on the coming challenges in the forthcoming future. Meanwhile, it is essential for China to work out comprehensive strategies to strengthen its social welfare to reduce young people’s stress.

此外二段还可以分析老龄化社会原因

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society, but what resulted in this change above? For one thing, the past 30 years was best characterized by the policy of Family Plan in China, which enabled a host of families to have only one kid and enabled the proportion of youngsters to decline. For another, compared with the past, medical care and quality of life is and will be better; therefore, a larger proportion of people live longer. Consequently, the percentage of aged people showed and will show a trend of rise.

所给是一个表格，清晰展示了中国老龄人口从1990年到2050年的明显趋势。在最初的22年中，60岁以上的人口数量从9719万缓慢增长至1.36亿;自2012年之后，据估计这个数字将飙升，并在2050年达到4.1亿。同时，老龄人口的比例也表现出并且将表现出类似趋势，将达到总人口的27.4%

这样的场景能自然联系到社会老龄化的各种问题。一方面，老龄社会典型特征将是年轻人更多的养老负担，这将使年轻一代更辛苦。另一方面，与过去和今天相比，老年人将在社会中发挥更重要的作用。典型例子就是他们的退休年龄将会延迟。因此，一大部分老年人不得不承担更多家庭、工作和社会责任。

因此，中国政府应更多关注未来的挑战。同时，中国应制定出综合性策略来提升社会福利并减轻年轻人的压力。

(此外二段还可以分析老龄化社会原因)

这样的场景能自然联系到社会老龄化的各种问题，但什么导致以上变化?一方面，过去的30年计划生育政策是个突出特征，这使得很多家庭只有一个孩子，也使得年轻人的比例下降。另一方面，于过去相比，今天的医疗和生活质量更好，将来也会持续更好。因此，很多人们寿命延长。因此，老龄人口的比重表现出并将继续表现出上升趋势。

Currently, there is a widespread concern about the previously neglected connection between growing human population and decreasing wild species. As the two graphs obviously portrayed, American population in 1980 was 250 times than that in 1800, a trend accompanied by the extinction of nearly 70 kinds of wildlife in the past 300 years. A clear correlation is suggested that mankind has exerted a tremendously negative influence on natural species.

There are many factors responsible for the aforementioned tendency. First and foremost, to satisfy the space demand for the booming population, the only available solution for Americans is to take occupation of forests and grassland. that used to be habitat of wild animals and plants. Furthermore, the process of industrialization and urbanization has generated severe pollution that essentially destroys environment and ecosystem.

In my point of view, the dearth of wildlife today forecasts an unpromising future for humans tomorrow. In order to eliminate species extinction, relevant laws and regulations must be established and enforced to maintain a large portion of unspoiled areas. Effective measures should also be applied to ensure that the impact of pollution be removed.

目前，人们普遍关注以前忽视的人口增长与减少野生物种之间的关系。正如这两幅图所描绘的，1980的美国人口是1800年的250倍，这是近300年来近70种野生动物灭绝的趋势。一个明显的相关性表明，人类对自然物种产生了巨大的负面影响。

有许多因素负责上述趋势。首先，为了满足人口增长的空间需求，美国人唯一可行的解决办法是占领森林和草原。那曾经是野生动植物的栖息地。此外，工业化和城市化进程产生了严重的污染，基本上破坏了环境和生态系统。

在我看来，今天的野生动物缺乏预测人类没有未来的明天。为了减少物种灭绝，应该制定相关的法律法规和执行保持大部分的原始生态区。还应采取有效措施，以消除污染的影响。

Environmental Protection No one，regardless of race, religion or nationality, can deny that the world we live in is becoming increasingly intolerable because of the effects of global warming. According to many experts, even greater impacts are still on the way. There are numerous causes for this problem. On one hand, human-related emissions of carbon into the atmosphere is causing, and will in the future cause, significant global warming according to the theory. On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. It is urgent that immediate and effective actions should be taken right away. First, more trees need to be planted to help improve and beautify the environment. Besides, stricter laws concerning global warming and irresponsible use of fuel resources have to be put into effect and achieved good results. In a word, there is a long way to go before we can take a comfortable world for granted again .

It has been billed as a hi-tech bike-sharing boom that entrepreneurs hope will make them rich while simultaneously transforming Chinas traffic-clogged cities.

But, occasionally, dreams can turn sour.

In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, more than 500 bicycles for hire have been found dumped in huge piles on the streets, according to reports.

Pictures showed jumbled stacks of vehicles nearly three metres high, with handlebars, baskets and other parts scattered on the ground.

City streets around the country have seen an explosion of the colourful bikes that users can rent on demand with a smartphone app and then park wherever they choose.

The sharing economy is taking off in China, where ride-sharing and Airbnb are increasingly commonplace.

From Shanghai to Sichuan province, bike-sharing schemes are being rolled out in an effort to slash congestion and air pollution by putting a country once known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles" back on two wheels.

Companies such as Ofo and Mobike, with their rival fleets of bumblebee yellow and fluorescent orange bikes, have been locked in a cut-throat battle for customers.

But problems have arisen when clients have abandoned their cycles.

"Some people these days just have really bad character," a man named He, who lives near where the stacks appeared, told the Southern Metropolis Daily.

"When theyre done using (the bike) they just throw it away somewhere, because theyve already paid."

In the past few days he witnessed people demolishing the bikes before discarding them on the side of the road, he said.

Residents told the paper that bikes had been piling up over the past week, either parked haphazardly by careless users or stacked by local security guards trying to clear narrow residential alleys and footpaths.

Zhuang Chuangyu, a representative at Shenzhens municipal peoples congress, said the city needed to step up regulation of the bike-sharing industry in order to improve traffic conditions and safety standards, especially since schoolchildren often used the bikes.

In 1980, almost 63% of commuters cycled to work, the Beijing Morning Post reported in 2015, citing government data. But by 2000 that number had plummeted to 38% and today it stands at less than 12%.

Car use, meanwhile, has rocketed. In 2010 China overtook the US to become the worlds largest car market, with 13.5m vehicles sold in just 12 months.

The proposal is from Wang Yuqing, a deputy director of the Committee of Population, Resources and Environment.

He is being quoted as saying he favors a gradual opening of a two-child per family policy, and says he believes the current limitations will be lifted by the end of the five-year plan in 2015.

The current family planning policy was initiated in 1979 to control Chinas rapidly growing population.

But some negative side effects have emerged, including a rapidly aging population.

Peng Xizhe is the Director of the Institute of Population Research at Fudan University.

"The one-child policy has fulfilled the goal initially set. Negative effects will pile up if it continues."

The President of Renmin University, Ji Baocheng, claims the labor force population between the ages of 28 and 40 will be halved in 10 years.

As an example, in Shanghai, which has the highest urban population in China, the number of Shanghai natives -- as in those with a Hukou -- has actually been dropping for the last 17 years in a row, even though the citys population has been increasing.

A possible reason for Shanghai parents not choosing to have a second child could be the rising cost of everyday expenses, particularly the cost of education.

"I dont think Ill have a second child if the limit is removed. Im simply a wage-earner, and I find it difficult enough to raise one child, so I wont consider the second."

But at the same time, there are still people who think it would be nice to have two children.

"I will think about it. A lot of parents now are the only child in families, to have two kids means they can look after each other in the future, and of course, therell be financial burden."

One-Child Policy has been relaxed in certain ways over the years.

In cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, if a couple is both the product of the one-child policy, theyre allowed to have two kids.

Certian ethnic minority groups have been exempt from the rules entirely.

And families in rural areas whose first child is a girl are also allowed to have a second child without punishment.

It remains unclear as to how the proposed two-child policy will work, though its being suggested that several big cities will be selected to try it before its brought in around the country.

(一)全球气候变暖

由于人口的增加和人类生产活动的规模越来越大，向大气释放的二氧化碳(CO2)、甲烷(CH4)、一氧化二氮(N2O)、氯氟碳化合物(CFC)、四氯化碳(CCl4)、一氧化碳(CO)等温室气体不断增加，导致大气的组成发生变化。大气质量受到影响，气候有逐渐变暖的趋势。由于全球气候变暖，将会对全球产生各种不同的影响，较高的温度可使极地冰川融化，海平面每10年将升高6厘米，因而将使一些海岸地区被淹没。全球变暖也可能影响到降雨和大气环流的变化，使气候反常，易造成旱涝灾害，这些都可能导致生态系统发生变化和破坏，全球气候变化将对人类生活产生一系列重大影响。

(二)臭氧层的耗损与破坏

在离地球表面10~50千米的大气平流层中集中了地球上90%的臭氧气体，在离地面25千米处臭氧浓度最大，形成了厚度约为3毫米的臭氧集中层，称为臭氧层。它能吸收太阳的紫外线，以保护地球上的生命免遭过量紫外线的伤害，并将能量贮存在上层大气，起到调节气候的作用。但臭氧层是一个很脆弱的大气层，如果进入一些破坏臭氧的气体，它们就会和臭氧发生化学作用，臭氧层就会遭到破坏。臭氧层被破坏，将使地面受到紫外线辐射的强度增加，给地球上的生命带来很大的危害。研究表明，紫外线辐射能破坏生物蛋白质和基因物质脱氧核糖核酸，造成细胞死亡;使人类皮肤癌发病率增高;伤害眼睛，导致白内障而使眼睛失明;抑制植物如大豆、瓜类、蔬菜等的生长，并穿透10米深的水层，杀死浮游生物和微生物，从而危及水中生物的食物链和自由氧的来源，影响生态平衡和水体的自净能力。

(三)生物多样性减少

《生物多样性公约》指出，生物多样性“是指所有来源的形形色色的生物体，这些来源包括陆地、海洋和其他水生生态系统及其所构成的生态综合体;它包括物种内部、物种之间和生态系统的多样性。”在漫长的生物进化过程中会产生一些新的物种，同时，随着生态环境条件的变化，也会使一些物种消失。所以说，生物多样性是在不断变化的。近百年来，由于人口的急剧增加和人类对资源的不合理开发，加之环境污染等原因，地球上的各种生物及其生态系统受到了极大的冲击，生物多样性也受到了很大的损害。有关学者估计，世界上每年至少有5万种生物物种灭绝，平均每天灭绝的物种达140个，估计到21世纪初，全世界野生生物的损失可达其总数的15%~30%。在中国，由于人口增长和经济发展的压力，对生物资源的不合理利用和破坏，生物多样性所遭受的损失也非常严重，大约已有200个物种已经灭绝;估计约有5000种植物在近年内已处于濒危状态，这些约占中国高等植物总数的20%;大约还有398种脊椎动物也处在濒危状态，约占中国脊椎动物总数的7.7%左右。因此，保护和拯救生物多样性以及这些生物赖以生存的生活条件，同样是摆在我们面前的重要任务。

(四)酸雨蔓延

酸雨是指大气降水中酸碱度(PH值)低于5.6的雨、雪或其他形式的降水。这是大气污染的一种表现。 酸雨对人类环境的影响是多方面的。酸雨降落到河流、湖泊中，会妨碍水中鱼、虾的成长，以致鱼虾减少或绝迹;酸雨还导致土壤酸化，破坏土壤的营养，使土壤贫瘠化，危害植物的生长，造成作物减产，危害森林的生长。此外，酸雨还腐蚀建筑材料，有关资料说明，近十几年来，酸雨地区的一些古迹特别是石刻、石雕或铜塑像的损坏超过以往百年以上，甚至千年以上。世界目前已有三大酸雨区。我国华南酸雨区是唯一尚未治理的。

(五)森林锐减

在今天的地球上，我们的绿色屏障——森林正以平均每年4000平方公里的速度消失。森林的减少使其涵养水源的功能受到破坏，造成了物种的减少和水土流失，对二氧化碳的吸收减少进而又加剧了温室效应。

(六)土地荒漠化

全球陆地面积占60%，其中沙漠和沙漠化面积29%。每年有600万公顷的土地变成沙漠。经济损失每年423亿美元。全球共有干旱、半干旱土地50亿公顷，其中33亿遭到荒漠化威胁。致使每年有600万公顷的农田、900万公顷的牧区失去生产力。人类文明的摇篮底格里斯河、幼发拉底河流域，已由沃土变成荒漠。中国的黄河流域，水土流失亦十分严重。

(七)大气污染

大气污染的主要因子为悬浮颗粒物、一氧化碳、臭氧、二氧化碳、氮氧化物、铅等。大气污染导致每年有30-70万人因烟尘污染提前死亡，2500万的儿童患慢性喉炎，400-700万的农村妇女儿童受害。

(八)水污染

水是我们日常最需要，也上接触最多的物质之一，然而就是水如今也成了危险品。

(九)海洋污染

人类活动使近海区的氮和磷增加50%-200%;过量营养物导致沿海藻类大量生长;波罗的海、北海、黑海、东中国海(东海)等出现赤潮。海洋污染导致赤潮频繁发生，破坏了红树林、珊瑚礁、海草，使近海鱼虾锐减，渔业损失惨重。

(十)危险性废物越境转移

危险性废物是指除放射性废物以外，具有化学活性或毒性、爆炸性、腐蚀性和其他对人类生存环境存在有害特性的废物。美国在资源保护与回收法中规定，所谓危险废物是指一种固体废物和几种固体的混合物，因其数量和浓度较高，可能造成或导致人类死亡，或引起严重的难以治愈疾病或致残的废物。

Do You Prefer High Salary or A Promising Job?

When it comes to the choice of career, some people prefer the job with high salary. Why?

Their reasons run as following: to begin with, high salary can bring them happy life; in addition, with high salary, they can do whatever they want.

But some others prefer to choose a job with promising future. They base their choice on the following reasons: on one hand, a promising job itself means a raise and promotion in the future; on another hand, job with a bright future will bring them honor and sense of pride.

As for me, if Im left to make the choice, Ill not hesitate to choose a promising job. First of all, I appreciate the honor and challenge it brings to me. At the same time, if I work hard, it will offer me a lot of opportunities including high salary, good position, etc.

As is known to us,China has the biggest population in the world,which is more than 1,300,000,000.Such a large population causes some problems in cities,thats the unemployment.Too many people gather in cities and the jobs are not enough.Some graduates cant find a job though they have left school for years.In addition,traffic jam is another problem resulting from the big population.There are too many cars on the roads and streets.

The situation of the countryside is not good.Too many people live in the countryside and we dont have enough farm land for them.

Fortunately,our government has realized the problems and has attached great importance to them.The government is trying its best to create more jobs and improve traffic systems.Moreover,the one-child policy has helped a lot.

look at your watch for just one minuite.During that time,The popuiation of the world increased by 259.Perhaps you think that is notmuch.Hoever,during the next hour,over15540 more babies will be born on the world.

So it goes on,hour after hour.In oneday,people have to produce food fover 370000 more mouths.Multiply this by365.justthink how many more there will be in one year!What will happen in a hundred years?

The increasing population

may be the greatest challenge of the world today.The worlds population is growing faster and faster.Two thousang years ago,there only 250millon people on the earth. At the beining of the20thcentury,the worldspopulation was about 1.7billion.In 1990,it reached more than five billion.Now at the beininjg of the 21stcentthe worlds population has passed six billion.people say that by the yeay 2010it may be seven billion.That means in about 600 years,there will br standing room only on the earth.Each person will have one half to one square metre of space to live in.There will be hardly enough space ror angbody else.

众所周知,中国拥有世界上最大的人口超过1300000000。如此大的人口在城市造成一些问题,这是失业。很多人聚集在城市和工作是不够的。一些毕业生找不到工作,尽管他们已经离开学校好多年了。此外,交通堵塞造成的另一个问题是巨大的人口。有太多的汽车在公路和街道。

农村的情况是不好的。太多的人生活在农村,我们没有足够的农田。

幸运的是,我们的政府已经意识到问题,并重视他们。政府正在尽力创造更多的就业机会,改善交通系统。此外,独生子女政策已经帮助很多。

看看你的手表只有一个秒。在此期间,世界人口增加了259人。也许你认为这是更高的。Hoever,在接下来的一个小时里,over15540更多宝宝将出生在世界。

就这样,一个小时又一个小时。在某一天,人们要生产粮食fov 370000多的嘴。把这个by365。justthink多少会有一年!一百年后会发生什么事?

增加的人口

可能是当今世界最大的挑战。世界人口增长越来越快。述说两年前,地球上只有250米隆人。the20thcentury拜因的,世界人口约为17亿。在1990年,它达到了超过五十亿人。现在的beininjg 21 stcentthe世界人口已经超过六十亿。人们说2010 yeay可能是七十亿年。这意味着在大约600年,地球上只br站立的空间。每个人将有一半生活在一平方米的空间。会有其他几乎没有足够的空间。

很久很久以前，有一个王国，民殷国富，人们快乐的生活着。可从那一天开始，一切都改变了……

那一天，阳光明媚。国王在黄盖的阴影下，挺着圆滚滚的肚子，慢吞吞地走着。

突然，一个道士挡住了国王的路。锦衣卫立马出动，“嚓、嚓、嚓”宝剑统统出鞘。

“呵呵，政通人和、百废具兴，真是繁荣兴盛啊。只是……可惜，可惜啊……”道士捋着胡须说道。

因为国王是个信道的人，一听“可惜”二字就慌了神。

“把剑统统给我放下!”国王命令锦衣卫。

“道……道长，您可惜什么?”国王小心翼翼地问。

“可惜?我可惜这个国家的人口太少，太冷清，无法将此国内的鬼怪逼走。”

“如果，如果以后一起这样，我的国家会变成什么样子?”国王的嘴唇开始颤抖。

“你的国家会变成孤魂野鬼的领地!”道士有力地说出。

国王“蹭”的一下坐到了地上，他的额头密密麻麻地聚满了汗珠。

“那，那有什么办法吗?”

“办法就是增加人口数量。”

“好，好，我明白了。”

“来人啊，行，行赏。”国王赐给道士许多金银财宝。

国王回到了宫中，“变成孤魂野鬼的领地”“你的国家会变成孤魂野鬼的领地!”国王的耳旁一直回荡着这句话，“嘭”国王一拍桌子，响亮的说：“我的国家一定要有很多人，很多人，哈哈哈哈!”

在客栈的高等客房里，道士数着金银财宝，说：“哈哈哈哈，今天可是赚翻了，没想到，这么富有的国家竟会有个这么愚蠢的国王，连这种鬼话都信。真是服啊!哈哈!”

第二天。

皇榜前，聚集着很多人。

“唉，他们看什么呢?”

“管他呢，走，咱也过去看看。”

越来越多的人涌向皇榜。有个人惊讶地将皇榜上的字读了出来：“奉天乘运，皇帝诏曰：即日起，本国居民须急速产子，越多越好，最少不得少于十子。违反皇命者，杀无赦!钦此。”

“什么嘛，谁能生这么多啊。”

“就是，生这么多还不把人累死啊。”

“对呀。”

人们逐渐散开，虽然很不服，但还是遵守了。每家每户都一样，都有十个以上的孩子。毕竟有“杀无赦”逼着呢!

数年后。

大街上满满的全是人，几乎寸步难行。该国的商业，一天比一天发达，但失业者越来越多。

满头白发的国王看着报告兴奋得大笑着。“哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈……多好啊，你看。多好啊……”国王笑着笑着突然停住了，“咳咳咳咳咳咳咳咳!“国王开始了剧烈的咳嗽，面部逐渐惨白。终于咳出鲜血，死在书桌上。

国王驾崩，全国上下报丧三天。

第二天，太子身着孝服，双眼通红地走在护城楼上，向下一看。吓了一跳，哇塞!街上简直成了白色的海洋。人们你推我嚷，乱哄哄的。太子摸着下巴，想：“这人口也太多了。”

第三天，太子登基。

新的皇榜再次登出。

“哇，又有什么怪命令出来啦。”

“就是，上次的那个命令把我们害得可够惨的，我有十五个孩子被踩死了，幸运的是我还有三十五个孩子呢。”

“那这次是?”

“走吧，赶快过去看。”

街上形成了一个巨大的旋涡，很多人被踩死，过了好大一会儿，有人喊：“既然都看不到，那找一个嗓门高的人来念吧。”

于是，一人举着喇叭，念起来：“奉天乘运，皇帝诏曰：即日起，有人犯罪，一律死刑，不管犯事大小，一律斩首!钦此。”

“啊!”人们喊着，露出紧张的心情。

就算这样，还有人不遵守，小偷小摸、持刀抢劫，依然肆然。于是乎，新国王把所有犯事的人揪出来，扔到菜市口，被乱刀砍死。从那日开始，人们总是很忧郁，紧张的什么都不敢做。终于，半数以上的人患了神经衰弱，自杀而忘。新国王看到这种现象，刚沾沾自喜。便有兵来报。

“报~~~~，邻国出动100万大军杀过来啦。”

国王张大嘴巴，因为这个国家的人，就剩下30万人了。国王张大眼睛、嘴巴，坐在龙椅上，一动不动，直到被杀。

Population Burden

Many countries will experience aging populations in the next century because of declining birth and mortality rates. China will soon join their ranks.

As for the issue of aging, its situation has been growing increasingly severe in spite of the fact most people are still ignorant of the problems it brings about. Firstly, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. Secondly, aging causes a relative decline in working force in that fewer people have to support the increasing aged people. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society is affected to some extent. Thirdly and most importantly, the aging of population in China resulted from the successful implementation of family planning has not been synchronized with national economic progress.

The rapidity of the populations aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. No doubt they key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance shall be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. Whats more, family care and community services shall also be encouraged.

重要词汇：

aging population 老年人口

birth rate 出生率

mortality rate 死亡率

ignorant of 不知道 不懂
