(B)The rich and the poor

　　 The world is divided (分为)into two main parts . The difference is that one

part is rich　

and the other is poor . In the poor part , a lot of people never get enough to

eat . In the　

rich part , a lot of people eat too much . In one part , child starve (饿死)and in

the other ,　

a lot of people get fatter and fatter and have to go on diets (吃特别饮食), or do

special　

exercises in order to lose weight.

　　 The poorer countries have special problems . Sometimes the land is too poor

to grow　

anything on . The land can be improved (改善), but a lot of things must be done

first . The　

people must be educated an water must be found.

　　 But rich countries have problems , too . There are not always pleasant

places to live in .　

Sometimes the air is too dirty to breathe , and the rivers are too dirty to swim

in or to take　

water from . The roads are too crowded to drive along . Large numbers of people

do not have　

decent (象样的)housed to live in . Some things will have to be done about these

problems .　

The air and the river will have to be cleaned , and more houses will have to be

built.

(A)Quick Work

　　 Ted Robinson has been worried all the week . Last Tuesday he received a

letter from the　

local police . In the letter he was asked to call at the station . Ted wondered

why he was　

wanted by the police , but he went to the station yesterday and he is not

worried at more.

　　 At the station , he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had

been found . Five　

days ago , the policeman told him , the bicycle was picked up in a small village

four hundred　

miles away . It is now being sent to his home by train.

　　 Ted was most surprised when he heard the news . He was amused (感到有趣)，too ,

because　

he never expected (指望)the bicycle to be found . It was stolen twenty years ago

when Ted　

was a boy of fifteen.
