London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and hear the famous clock, Big Ben.
Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution which stop the city from developing. Over one million(百万) people a day use the London underground, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn't clear, but it is anyhow cleaner than it was 100 years ago.
For me, the best things about London are the parks. There are five in the city center. But my children's favourite place is Hamleys, the biggest toy shop in the world.

The important thing is not how large the population of the world is now, but is the rate (速度率) of the growth. It is about 1.63 percent every year after the number of dead people has been taken away.
Look at the second hand of your watch. Every second four babies are born in the world. Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! You can't speak __2__ enough to keep up with the birth rate.

（三）It is difficult for parents to decide to have a second child. Someone says that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents regretted (后悔) making the decision to have only one child.
But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than 14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same situation can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had gone down to 1. 42 by 1996.
For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They don’t have enough time or energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around US $ 160, 000.
1. According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely
A. Because his parents don't love him.
B. Because he doesn't have holidays.
C. Because he doesn't have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with.
D. Because there are other children in the family.
2. What don't people think about when they choose to have a second child
A. Time.
B. Energy.
C. Money.
D. Food.

B. Many couples in Japan love to have large families.
C. All parents feel, confident (自信的) about having a second child.
D. Less than 14% of women in the UK plan to have just one child.
5. Parents choose not to have a second child because _______.

39.答案： City A is my home town. It is in the south of China. The population of it is about 1,500,000 now. This is too large already, but it is still growing. One reason is that about 10,000 babies are born every year. What's more, many people from City B move to my home town to find jobs. All these make the population increase quickly. The population increase has been a big problem in my home town. It makes traffic worse, pollutes our environment and brings many other problems. Besides, the air pollution and water pollution are becoming worse and worse.
