Every second there are, on average, more than...

Every second there are, on average, more than four babies being born and fewer than two people dying. As a result, the world population keeps increasing.

The baby will probably be born in the Asia-Pacific region. In this area, the population growth rate is higher than anywhere else in the world.

It is just 12 years since the world’s population reached 6 billion. Official estimates say the number will tip 8 billion in 2025 and 10 billion before the end of the century.

With more and more people in the world, there will be less land and water for each person. The major problem will be feeding the new arrivals. Finding housing and medical care for everyone will also be difficult.

For now, China still has the largest population in the world, with 1.34 billion people. In the past ten years it added 73.9 million, more than the population of France and Thailand.

However, its growth has slowed and it is estimated that the population will stop increasing in 2027. By 2050, according to some experts, China’s population will be smaller than it is today.

This is thanks to the family planning policy that started about 30 years ago. In the 1970s, Chinese women had five to six children each on average. Now the number is around 1.5.

On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.

Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”

Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”

Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.

You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.

1. The writer would have a short conversation with the homeless man when 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. she waited for the red light to turn

B. she gave spare change to him

C. she had a good time that day

A. Because she was criticized by the boss.

B. Because a new job was offered to her.

C. Because she was laid off by the boss.

D. Because there was something wrong with her job.

3.What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage?

A. He would be seen at the exit of the freeway.

B. He usually smiled and waved at others.

C. He had a deep impression on the writer.

D. He felt joyful only when money was offered to him.

4.The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. he had collected a lot of money B. he wanted to pay back her
