题目列表(包括答案和解析)
With rapid increase of economic rate in western countries, more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime, many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining. But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.
Of course, a small family has its advantages. Firstly, small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their children. Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several. The child could grow up in an influential environment. Secondly, the child could learn more survival skills for future success.
However, . The only child becomes the little emperor. It would make the one child ask more for him and think less of others. Besides, after the child grows up and gets married, the new couple has to take care of four old parents. That means the two children must work hard to support the old parents. At present, many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society. China will face this situation in a short time to come.
On the contrary, a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects. Firstly, parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one. Moreover, the old brothers or sisters also could help their parents bring up little children. Secondly, if one of the children turns out to be successful, it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.
Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children, it is not as difficult as people think it to be. With the help of good educational system and modern technology, it is becoming easier to afford several children.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more?Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last ten of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),”said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future.“I think by 2075 ________ and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jesery Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术)make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.“There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said.“Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live.“It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know, could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?”said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center.“At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

Later, my thoughts turned to why Chinese students take an English name. Obviously, for foreign teachers such as me, English names help us to learn names and recognize students more rapidly. And it's a means of easily setting up communication with Westerners.
As Sharon, a student displays(展示)her knowledge of western culture and ideas. Once Sharon has graduated, if she is fortunate to find employment that involves(涉及)regular communication across international boundaries, relationships will be smoothed if others can easily remember her name.
Parents in English-speaking countries do not usually choose words at random to name their child. For every parent who seeks to be truly creative by inventing a unique(独一无二)name, there will be nine others selecting from a recognized book of names. These books have been passed on from generation to generation.
While English names do have meanings, this is rarely of great importance for parents in making their choice. Often, associations with heroes, pop idols(偶像)will influence(影响)a decision. My son's name, Luke, was chosen because of a film “Cool Hand Luke”, with the US star Paul Newman. Other names are chosen because of family connections, after a beloved grandfather, for example.
There are a great many names to choose from, and at any one time some will be more fashionable(时髦的)than others. When our present Queen was crowned, many baby girls were christened Elizabeth, while Princess Diana's marriage to Charles led to a generation of Dianas. Most parents seeking to be original or unique(特殊)look through lists for names that haven't been used regularly in recent years.
So, if you are thinking of taking an English name stop and think. Before you accept any old name, make sure you are happy with its sound, its meaning and its associations.
