Brownie didn’t show up the next day, and by the next week, he was still missing.

Spotty went to Brownie’s house alone. He started shouting “Woof! Woof!” But Brownie’s family was too busy to care about him. Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. He followed Ted, Brownie’s owner, everywhere he went. He started shouting “Woof! Woof!” again, then ran toward a nearby empty place and looked back. It seems to say, “Follow me!”

Ted followed the dog across the empty place. The little dog took the man to a tree a half mile from the house. There Ted found Brownie alive. One of his legs was caught in a machine.

In 2023, India might have a larger population than China. That means the Earth is getting more crowded because there will be more people in the world. However, the growth may not last forever.

Low birth rate(率)

While the global population is still growing, its growth rate is at its slowest since 1950 because of fewer babies. It’s reported that fertility has greatly fallen in recent years in many countries and areas.

More older people

A low birth rate means fewer young people to care for the growing aging population worldwide. By 2025, the world should expect to see far more people with gray hair living longer.

China recorded 10.62 million births in 2021, a drop of 11.5 percent from 12 million in 2020. China’s population growth is set to turn negative (负的) by 2025.

In a major push to deal with the problem, the government said on May 31, 2021 that all families can have up to three children. It introduced a number of supportive ways to encourage births.

48. Which country of the following might have the largest population in 2023?

A. China. B. The US. C. India. D. Pakistan.

49. The underlined word “fertility” probably means “________” in Chinese.

A. 人口老龄 B. 人口生育 C. 人口红利 D. 人口普查

50. From the last paragraph, what do we know about supportive ways?

A. Families with no child are more likely to get public rental housing.

B. Kindergartens should receive younger children aged 3-4.

C. Public areas will build more baby care rooms for mothers.

D. Companies must give workers money to send and pick up children from school.

51. The passage may come from ________.

A. a newspaper B. a dictionary C. a storybook D. an advertisement

Why do Chinese players always win the first prize in the main table tennis events? Thomas J. Scheuer from the US studies at Tsinghua University. He is also a table tennis player. China has many talented table tennis players who train really hard. Scheuer also heard that another reason is that there are a large number of ping-pong fans for the sport in the country. Almost everyone can play a little. To see whether it’s true, he went to a park and visited a club to find out. The active scene surprised him.

At a park in Beijing, Scheuer saw many old people playing table tennis. A man said that he had been playing the sport for more than 50 years. He plays for two hours every day. He was even named one of the “Beijing Masters” when he was 70. “I’ve noticed that I’m the youngest player here in the park,” said Scheuer.

Then Scheuer visited a table tennis club. There, many kids were practicing. A boy said he hoped that he could be an excellent player like Ma Long one day. A girl said playing table tennis helped her relax after doing schoolwork.

The visit made Scheuer truly admire great interests that Chinese people have for table tennis. As China’s national sport, table tennis is as popular as soccer and basketball here.
