The problems of the American cities——pollution, crime,
transportation, a lack of planning——are bad, but they were worse in
the so-called “good old days”, according to Dr. Charles Adrian. He
gives pollution from automobiles as one example. He agrees that it
may be bad now, but he states that there was a lot of pollution from
horses and other animals in American cities in the 19
th
century.
“Most cities had their own slaughterhouses (屠宰场) where
cows and pigs were killed a century ago. They were careless about
throwing out the remains of the animals and that sort of thing,” he
said. “And no measure was taken for waste disposal.”
Some of the problems that bothered people living in the cities
during that period are still with us——poor planning, problems in
low-income
transportation.
“Pollution was a very important problem for city governments in
the last century, particularly with regard to water supplies,” Dr.
Adrian said. “They had some idea that water could be polluted, but
they didn’t know how.” Trying to get pure water was a big problem.”
“People like to talk about the good old days, but, actually, the
cities of the 19
th
century were dirty. Communicable diseases like
smallpox were great concerns. The infant death rate was high, and
there were other dangers as well.”
1. In Dr. Adrian’s opinion, today’s American cities are _________.
A. worse than the cities in the “good old days”
B. polluted by horses and other animals
C. more seriously polluted than in the “good old days”
neighborhoods, police relations, and public

The world’s population continues to grow. There now are about
4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the
century and 11 billion in a further 75 years. Experts have long been
concerned about such a growth. Where will we find the food, water,
jobs, houses, school and health care for all these people?
A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A
large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate has taken place during
the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a
few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial
nations.
Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More
men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth
control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More
women are going to school or working at jobs away from home
instead of having children. And more governments, especially in
developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce
population grow.
China is one of the nations that have made great progress in
reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of
population growth by about half since 1970.
Each Chinese family is now urged to have no more than one
child. And the hope is to reach a zero population growth with the total
number of births equaling the total number of deaths by the year
2000.
Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths.
Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of
workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face
much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired
people.
6. The world’s population could reach ____________.
A. 6 billion in 75 years
B. 11 billion in 2075
C. 11 billion by the end of this century
D. 600 million in 15 years
7. Which of the following is true?
A. The world’s birth rate is higher than ten years ago.
B. There has been a slower population growth in the past ten
years.
C. Families are as large as before.
D. Birth control has been well practiced in all nations.
8. By the year 2000, the number of births and the number of deaths in
China will _______.
A. be greatly different
B. drop a great deal
C. be equal
D. become much larger
9. According to the essay, China’s population control ________.
A. is not quite successful
B. should be considered a big success
C. is far from being successful
D. is a complete failure
10. It may happen in the future that the people who are working in
Europe will have to pay much higher taxes because___________.
A. more and more children will be born
B. the number of retired people will become ever larger
C. fewer and fewer children will be born
D. they will be making a lot of money
