D.He was an expert on animals.
第6题
听力原文: One of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization called Heifer International is working to improve the situation. The organization sends farm animals to families and communities around the world. Pal American farmer Dan West developed the idea for Heifer International in the 1930s. Mr. West was working in Spain where he discovered a need for cows. Many families were starving because of the Civil War in that country. So Mr. West asked his friends in the Unites States to send some cows. The first Heifer animals were sent in 1944. Since that time more titan 4 million people in 115 countries have had better lives because of heifer animals. To receive a Heifer animal, families must first explain their needs and goals. They must also make a plan which will allow them to become selfsupporting. Local experts usually provide training. The organization says that animals must have food, water, shelter, health care and the ability to reproduce. Without them, the animals will not remain healthy and productive. Heifer International also believes that families must pass on some of their success to others in need. This belief guarantees that each person who takes part in the program also becomes a giver. Every family that receives a Heifer animal must agree to give that animal's first female baby to other people in need. Families must also agree to pass on the skills and training they receive from Heifer International. This concept helps communities become selfsupporting.

Population Growth in Different Nations
More than 6,500 million people are living in the world today. By the year 2050, that number is expected to reach 9,000 million. Population experts say most of this growth will be in developing nations in Latin America, South Asia and Africa. Africa's population, for example, is expected to double to almost 2,000 million. And South Asia will have an additional 1,000 million people within the next 50 years.
While population growth is increasing in some developing countries, it is falling in many industrialized nations. The United States is unusual because its population is increasing about I percent a year. This makes the United States the world's fastest growing industrialized nation.
These changes in population growth have raised questions among experts. For example, how will industrialized countries provide for their aging populations, especially-with fewer workers? How can poor countries provide for their growing populations while poverty, hunger and health care remain problems? And how does immigration influence both situations?
Population Decrease in Russia
Population experts say Russia faces the most severe population decrease of any country, The population of Russia is now 143 million. It is expected to drop 22 percent over the next 45 years. If this happens, Russia could lose more than 40 percent of its active workforce and have economic problems. The government of President Vladimir Putin is looking for ways to prevent an economic slowdown.
Part of the problem is the short length of time that Russian men generally live. The average life expectancy for Russian men is just 58 years. Russian women live 14 years longer. And men in Western Europe live 16 years longer. Drugs, tobacco smoking and alcohol are some of the main causes of death among Russian men. There are also high numbers of accidents and men killing themselves.
Russia also has low birth rates. A record number of Russians reportedly married last year. But many do not seem ready to have children, those who do take risks. Research shows that 7 out of every 10 Russian babies suffer from health disorders. Every twelfth baby is born weighing too little. All of these changes in Russian society are affecting the country's economy.
More Mega-cities
Almost all of the world's population growth is expected to take place in cities in developing countries. By the year 2030, more than 60 percent of the world's population will be living in cities. Within the next 10 years, experts say there will be 25 "mega-cities"(大城市)of more than 10 million people each.
In India, concerns are increasing about the movement of people from farming areas to these mega- cities. The Indian capital, New De]hi, and Bombay will be among the largest cities in the world.
Environmental experts worry about social pressures and poor living conditions in mega-cities. These huge cities generally lack effective education, health care and transportation systems. In addition, as megacities spread, they take over surrounding agricultural land.
Experts say these problems are intense in Bombay. About half of the city's population of 15 million people live in so-called "slums"(贫民窟). Houses are close together and not well built. They lack clean water and waste removal systems. Diseases spread quickly when people live too close together. Indian officials are trying to deal with the problem. Yet, they admit it will be difficult when an estimated 200 families move to cities like Bombay each day.
Population Growth in America
The United States is the only industrial country to experience population growth. In the past 10 years, the population increased from 263 million to an expected 300 million later this year. The American population is increasing at almost 1 percent a year. 40 percent of this growth comes f
