    文章讲述的是人口迅速增长带来的一系列问题，号召我们一定要尽快采取行动。
    小题1:study 意为“研究”，根据下文，这是指对未来20年地球上的情况变化所作的研究。
    小题2:与后面的人口增长，环境污染等联系起来看，在2010年地球上的状况(picture)将会令人不愉快(unpleasant)。
    小题3:因为人口继续增长，所以世界会越来越拥挤(crowded)。
    小题4:指人口数目的多用large，不用small。指人口达到某一数目用“as large as + 数词”。
    小题5:从现状来看，人口增长快的国家多为发展但不发达的国家；而城市人口急剧增长的则是一些发展中的国家(developing countries)。
    小题6:前面提到了两个城市，故此空只能填each。neither具有否定意义，不合句意，不能插入谓语之中。
    小题7:相临几句是讲粮食增长问题，故选increase“增长”。
    小题8:前后两句具有转折意义：农民所生产的粮食将比1985多90%，但多数增产粮食的国家是已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。
    小题9:already 意为“已经”，由下句可知：是指已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。
    小题10:expect意为“预计”，句意为：在亚洲南部的国家预计增产幅度不大。
    小题11:由changing farms into deserts可知：不当农业生产方式毁坏(destroy)了大片生产粮食的土地。
    小题12:由于扩建城市，修建房屋，必然侵占大量农田，故选lost(失去)。
    小题13:由burn coal and oil必然排放大量烟雾，可推知：此处指空气污染(air pollution)
    小题14:由more and more trees are cut down可推知：此处指森林(forests)可能消失。
    小题15:此句意为：专家说地球到2010年的状况可能会不好。
    小题16:exist 意为“存在”。由上下文可知：环境正遭受污染和破坏，专家们只是想保存今天的状况。
    小题17:settle the problems 意为“解决问题”。
    小题18:still 意为“还有”，加强语气。句意为：现在还有时间给世界各国制定行动计划。
    小题19:work out a plan 意为“制定计划”。
    小题20:句意为：专家们警告说等待太长的时间作出决定将会极大地减少成功的机会来源：

    This is the letter that Mr. White wrote before his death about his three books for children:
    Dear Reader:
    I receive many letters from children and can't answer them all -- there wouldn't be time enough in a day. That is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letter. I'll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.
    Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That's how the story of Stuart Little got started.
    As for Charlotte's Web, I like animals and my barn（谷仓） is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours. One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig's life. I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation（拯救） on a farm. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)
    Sometimes I'm asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to write. I started early -- as soon as I could spell. In fact, I can't remember any time in my life when I wasn't busy writing. I don't know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction is trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was no good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.
    Some of my readers want me to visit their school. Some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book. And some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets. Much as I'd like to, I can't go visiting. I can't send books, either -- you can find them in a bookstore or a library. Many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books. This is not true -- books are made by the publisher. If a writer wants a copy, he must buy it. That's why I can't send books. And I do not send autographs（亲笔签名，手稿） -- I leave that to the movie stars. I live most of the year in the country, in New England. From our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains. I live near my married son and three grandchildren.
    Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. In real life, a family doesn't have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn't spin words in her web. In real life, a swan doesn't blow a trumpet（喇叭，小号） . But real life is only one kind of life -- there is also the life of the imagination. And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too -- truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.
    Yours sincerely,
    E.B. White

    A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.

    “Be assured that the cup  45  adds no quality to the coffee.  46  it is just more expensive and in some cases  47  hides what we drink.”
    “48  all of you really want is coffee, not the cup,  49  you consciously went for the best cups…. And then you began  50  each other’s cups.”

    In Greek mythology（神话）, the gods punished Sisyphus by forcing him to roll a rock up a steep hill for eternity（来世）. But he was probably better off than if they’d forced him to sit and stare into space until the end of time, conclude the authors of a new study on keeping busy. They found that people who have something to do, even something pointless, are happier than people who sit around.
    “The general phenomenon I’m interested in is why people are too busy doing what they are doing in modern society,” says Christopher K. Hsee, of the University of Chicago. “People are running around, working hard, the way beyond the basic level.” Sure, there are reasons, like making a living, earning money, and so on. But, Hsee says, “I think there’s something deeper: We have extra energy and we want to avoid idleness.”
    In a study 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. Not everyone chose to go to the faraway location. Two-thirds chose the lazy option. Yet those who chose to stay busy by going to the faraway location were found to be happier than those who had stayed put.
    But if the chocolate bars offered at the  two locations were different, they were more likely to choose the far location—because they could make up a good and acceptable reason for the trip, Hsee and his colleagues say.
    Hsee thinks it may be possible to use this principle—people like being busy, and they like being able to show being busy right or reasonable—to benefit society. “If we can find a way for idle people to engage in activity that is at least not harmful, I think it is better than destructive business,” he says. Hsee himself has been known to  give a research assistant a useless task when he doesn’t have anything to do, so he isn’t sitting around the office getting bored and depressed.
