This 19 will cause other problems—more crimes, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic 20 we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity), and housing? 21 life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. 22 these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas.

The crime rate isn’t going down. 26 , it is 27 so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several blocks.

The Internet has become a part of teenage life.
A new report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often.
While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way.
In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to teach students good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as it’s good to read news or find helpful information to study.
Some students also make on-line friends. But if you are meeting a friend off-line, make sure your parents know. Teachers and parents think the book is of great help. A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the Internet.

Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe. In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait(海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.
They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines, men were dying of starvation. While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.

As people were rushing up to get cards for Mother’s Day 2006, the editors of I had a big question inside their minds, “What is a mother to you?” They feel every person has different opinions about a woman called “mother”.
In one of the designs of Hallmark’s latest Happy Mother’s Day cards, it describes, “mother” is a woman who made the world a warm and happy place. At the other end, a “mother” is described as a woman who puts her home and family first, and if she is tired, she never lets it show.

That is why her team uses this day to honor mothers all over the world by launching a survey about “mother”. “This survey is also to express thanks or gratitude and to show appreciation for friends, family who are mothers, as well as other important women who have had a mothering influence,” said Jackson.
I will publish the answer to “What is a mother to you” once responses to its survey have been tabulated(制成表格) from around the world. This survey is for everyone, all age, all gender and all status. All participants in the survey will be added to a special notification list alerting when survey results are published.

SACRAMENTO(New York Times)—The 2005 Best Ten Citizens of Charity have been honored today by the city government, one of whom is Ms Myrtle Smith. To answer our reporter’s why-question, she told us the following story which, as she put it, had led her to the work for the less fortunate people.
It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Mercy, no!”
I looked at my shabby slipcovers(家具套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to
