在全球范围内实行计划生育的困难之一在于，各国政府考虑到国家的工业发展水平以及可利用的食物和原材料，对人口控制采取了不同的态度。在一个发展中国家，如果急剧增加的人口对食物、空间以及自然资源造成巨大的压力，那么政府会不计后果，首先关注限制出生率。在一个高度工业化的国家，问题可能会更加复杂。出生率降低会导致失业，因为降低出生率会使制造品市场萎缩。当人口对住房的压力减少时，房价会降低，建筑业就会因此疲软。面对这样一些因素，发达国家的政府可能会希望本国的人口呈渐长趋势，而不是保持稳定或下降。

VII. Dictation
Baseball is America's national sport, played mainly by men. It developed in the mid 19th century from the British games of rounders and cricket. Baseball is also popular in Japan and several Latin American countries, and has been an Olympic sport since in 1972. Softball is similar but uses a large, softer ball and is popular with women. Many Americans play baseball for fun because players do not have to be strong like football players or tall like basketball players. Some people think baseball is too slow, but the team managers often change their players and plans ring the game, and there are many exciting plays. Many American families enjoy going to a Sunday afternoon double-header, that is, two games between the same two teams in one day.

你能想像一个身体严重残疾的妇女独自经营一个网站并且像一个专业的体育记者一样详细报道洛杉矶道奇队吗?如果我没有亲眼见到她蜷曲在轮椅里，用固定在头上的一根棍子敲击字键打出她的评论，我是绝不会相信的。我长途驱车希望揭露一个精心策划的骗局，但是，看着她在黑暗的棚屋里添写她的报道，我知道我发现了一个真正的赢家。她对棒球的热情和她对球员的信赖使我回到了积极的态度。
Could you imagine a woman with a severe physical handicap running a website on her own and covering the Los Angles Dodgers as extensively as a professional sportswriter? I would never believe it if I had not seen her with my own eyes, curled up in a wheelchair, typing her comments by hitting the key with a pointer fastened to her head. I had driven a long way in hopes of uncovering an elaborate hoax, but watching her strain in the gloom of her shanty to add to her story, I knew I had found a true winner. Her enthusiasm for the game and her trust in the athletes brought me back to a positive attitude.

Unit 1
A Funny Mistake At 8:15 one Sunday morning, a police officer saw a man climbing down a drainpipe from an open bedroom window. As soon as the man reached the ground, the officer caught him by the arm. In answer to the officer's questions, the man said that his name was Charlie Crane and he was a lorry driver from Nottingham. He explained that the day before he had had a breakdown and had spent the night in the house where the officer saw him. That morning the landlady had given him breakfast and he had gone on his way. Later he found that he had left ￡80 under his pillow. He returned and rang the bell, but no one answered it. Spotting the bedroom window still open, he climbed up the drainpipe. As he was again leaving, the officer saw him. Just as the officer was figuring out whether or not it was only a funny mistake, a woman shouted from the kitchen window, "Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you'd gone away an hour ago."

You remember the problem that my research team has been trying to solve for some time now? The one I mentioned in my last letter? Well, yesterday we finally hit upon the solution. And it is all e to you. How? Well, you remember that game you used to play with us to encourage us to think laterally, the "What Doesn't Belong?" one? It all came back to me as we were sitting around going over the same old ground for what seemed like the hundredth time. Clearly, what we needed to do was to see the problem from a completely new angle. I put this to the rest of the group and after a session of brainstorming we hit upon an entirely fresh way of looking at the problem that led us straight to the answer. It had been under our noses all along, but we hadn't noticed it because of sticking to our old habits of thought. It seems all those discussions about oranges, tomatoes and strawberries long ago were not only good fun, but were good for the mind as well. So, you deserve the credit for our success as much as we do. Many thanks!
Your loving son,
Tom

Unit 3
Why I Chose to Attend College
As my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college. At times I did have some doubts. After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it would be worthwhile. My main reason was simply that I was eager for knowledge and wanted to keep on learning. While getting through high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics and chemistry, and thirsted to explore them further. I also chose to go to college because I knew a college ecation would provide me with opportunities for all-round development. I could play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations. Involvement in various kinds of activities would help make me into a well-rounded person. A further factor was my awareness that in today's world many professions require years of specialized training. Being without a college ecation would have made it more difficult to obtain a desirable position. As I proceed further through college, I seem to have more and more reasons to congratulate myself on having made the right decision.

Unit 4
In a recent poll taken by "the Herald of the Town", 72 percent of the residents interviewed said the city government could do more for homeless people. And 65 percent said the city was paying too little attention to the needs of the blacks and other minority groups. Asked about the suggestion of building more soup kitchens and nursing homes for the homeless and the old people, 77 percent thought it a good idea, 14 percent said it was foolish and 9 percent gave no comments. 38 percent considered crime as the worst problem facing the city, while 25 percent and 37 percent perceived unemployment or pollution as the worst one respectively. Job training for young people was chosen as the best way to rece crime (63 percent). After that, in order of percentage, came citizens' neighborhood patrols (23 percent), more police on foot (10 percent) and the death penalty (4 percent).

Unit 5
It was Mother's Day. Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion. Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children's mother with a barbecue, the first of the year. The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue. The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find. By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark. And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year.
In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.

Unit6
One Sunday afternoon Peter was reading the newspaper when Tom, his little son of six years, rushed into the room crying bitterly, his left eye black and bruised. "What's the matter? Who hit you on the eye, Tom?" the father asked. "Steve, the big boy on Quail Street ..." the son cried all the more bitterly, pointing outside with his finger. In a rage, Peter jumped out of the armchair and dashed out, clenching his fists. Hardly had Steve uttered a word when Peter smashed his fist into his face. Totally unprepared, Steve was knocked down to the ground. However, he regained his feet quickly and hit back so hard that Peter got a black eye too. Seeing he had had his revenge, Steve lost no time running away. Peter had to walk home completely defeated. Back in the room he was seated in the armchair, looking quite upset and depressed.

Unit 7
Dear Pearl,
Susan of Rockford is coming to stay with me for a few days. She and I are hoping you can come to dinner here on Friday the eighth at seven o'clock. Yours, Mary Dear Mary, Many thanks for your invitation. I'll be delighted to have dinner with you on Friday at seven o'clock and see Susan again. Yours, Pearl Dear Mary, You cannot imagine my disappointment at not being able to come to dinner with you and see Susan again. Little Tom is running a high fever and needs constant care, so it is quite impossible for me to come. But thank you so much for your kind invitation.
Sincerely,
Pearl

Unit 8
How to Attain Our Goals in Life
As a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life. To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself as instry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower. Here I would like to dwell a little on the first two. Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success. Take Peter G. Beidler for example. Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession. Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures, even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep. His subsequent success as a teacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983. Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work. Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goal in life. Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course until we reach it. The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point. She refused to give up in the face of all the challenges in life. Instead, she persisted in improving herself. In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper. Clearly persistence helped to make her dream come true.
