单选题The United Nations published a report that was called "The State of World Population". It shows that the growth rate of world population will actually go down in the next ten years. The growth rate will fall from the present 1.8% to a rate of about 1.6% by the end of this century. But the report also points out that problems of food, health care, housing, jobs and schools will get worse unless we do something about the situation. Why is this? Although the total growth rate of the world population will decrease, in some countries there will still be a big rise in the population. More people will be born in Third World countries than in the richer Northern countries. So the population will grow faster in poor countries; and the problems in these countries will be very serious. This is because the family is more likely to survive if there are a lot of children to work for the members who become old or who cannot find work. A survey of the UN also shows that the growth rate is low where there is a higher level of income, better education, more health care and better living conditions. In this aspect, government plays an important role. So, the conclusion of the UN report is: "Look 'after the people and the population will look after itself. /

单选题It is the vision (设想) of the Public Transit Police Department to achieve a transit system free from crime and disorder. Transit Police programs are designed to enhance safety, increase riders and preserve the quality of our system"s structure. Transit has its own police force committed to the safety of its customers and drivers, serving seven counties and 85 cities in the region. There are 23 full-time officers, 146 part-time officers and five administrative (行政的) staff, devoted to one thing: public safety. You"ve probably seen Transit Police officers patrolling (巡逻) bus routes in cars or on foot. During visits with drivers, Transit Police either ride along or they step on board to greet drivers and passengers. Sometimes officers patrol out of uniform—one could be on your next bus. The are inspectors on Hiawatha light-rail trains are Transit Police officers. Every new Public Transit bus has an onboard security camera. Videotapes from these cameras help Transit Police identify and charge criminals. Downtown patrols built up in early 2002 have improved the quality of life for downtown residents and transit customers. Ten full-time police officers are assigned to the Minneapolis and St. Paul downtown areas, to ensure public security. Downtown arrests have gone from 490 in April-September 2001 to 941 during the same period in 2002.

单选题Three passions, simple but very strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and sympathy for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me back and forth, accompanying me through my life, making me suffering with anxiety and despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings such uncontrolled feelings that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves my loneliness that I would follow it all the way. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen the vision of the heaven that poets have imagined. This is what—at last—I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to understand the world around me. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Cries of pain re-echo in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to wipe out the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
