Dear Editor,
I'm a middle school student. I'm writing to tell you ①_____ children who are living with their grandparents in towns around the country. Now, our cities are ②_____ more and more modem. That makes a lot of parents ③_____ their home towns to work on building the cities. But when they work in the cities, their children are waiting for them at home. One of the most serious ④_____ is the loneliness (孤独).These left-behind children are always ⑤_____ and stressed out because they lack (缺少) parents' love. At the same time, nobody can teach them the ⑥_____ between right and wrong. So, it's easier for these children to make ⑦_____ and even break the law (法律). It's very important for us to pay more attention to these children ⑧_____ we want to build a harmonious society (和谐社会).
So how do we ⑨_____ this problem Most of the left-behind children say they miss their parents a lot, especially during holidays. Maybe the government can provide special group activities and meals for these children during holidays. Of course, the best thing for these families is to be together. As the song says , "If ⑩_____ gives their love, the world will be better."
Best wishes to you!

四、阅读理解
Is the world too crowded Well, that's a hard question to answer. It's a matter of the perspective (视角). In Montana, you might drive a mile in any direction and might not see another human being. In Macao, 60,000 people live in every square mile!
What is true is that the world's population doesn't stay the same. It has been increasing fast. That's in part because in each generation (代)there are more people who then have children than the last generation.
Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900, the world's population was under 2 billion (十亿). Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Soon the world's population will probably reach 8 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth means too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources (资源) the world needs to offer and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth's resources.
1.From the first paragraph we can know that ______.
A. Montana is too crowded
B. Macao is too crowded
C. the world is too crowded
D. the world is not too crowded
2.The population is increasing fast partly because ______.
A. people live longer than before
B. there are fewer wars than before
C. medicine is developing faster than before
D. more couples now would like to have children than before
3.What was the world's population in 1900
A.450 million. B. Less than 2 billion.
C.40 billion. D.7 billion.
4.The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should ______.
A. find more resources B. use more resources
C. think about our ways of living D. move to other places
5.From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.
A. thinks the world already has too many people
B. thinks the world can feed no more than 8 billion people
C. is not sure when the world's population will reach 8 billion
D. is not sure what the world needs to feed so many people
