Morse code (摩斯密码)  is a system of communication that uses dots (short marks), dashes (long marks), and spaces to represent (代表) the letters, numbers, and punctuation. Letters used often (such as “E”) got a simple code, while those not often used (such as “Q”) got a longer and more complex code.
The very first message using Morse code was sent by Samuel Morse, one of its inventors, to Alfred Vail on May 24th, 1844. The two men were 40 miles apart at the time. From then on, the way to communicate with people in far-off places was changed.
Morse code is a highly dependable communication method, even in difficult and noisy environments. It can be sent by sounds, light, or other unexpected ways. Jeremiah Andrew Denton Jr. was a prisoner of war between 1965 and 1973. As a high-ranking officer, he was forced to take part in a television interview on May 2nd, 1966. During the broadcast, which went out live in the US, Denton Jr. pretended (假装) to be blinded by the camera lights in order to blink (眨眼) a Morse code message to those watching back home.
Morse code’s heyday is long gone. It was replaced first by the telephone, then the fax machine, and finally by the Internet. But isn’t it fun to send a message in Morse Code to your friends? Give it a try!

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! In Poland the population is also falling because people are leaving to work in other countries.
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina, a doctor from Moscow. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18—24-year-old women everywhere in Europe.
In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy.
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child.

36．How many children does Galina want to have?

37．Hana doesn’t want to have any children at all, does she?
