In china, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 .79.

Passage One

Population tends to grow at an exponential( 指数的 )rate. This means that

they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.

This helps explain why the population has come on “all of a sudden ” took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents( 缓慢进行 ) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.

World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.

Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their

population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is

doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on _____ all of a sudden ?

Passage Four

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.

But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own，most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music ，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it. (84)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today ’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. (85)All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don ’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well ，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.The author ’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.
