The important thing is not how large the population of the world is now, but is the rate of the growth—it is about 1.63 percent every year. Every second, about 4 babies are born in the world. Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! You can not speak quickly enough to keep up with the birth rate. The population is growing larger and larger. In one day, people have to find food for about 350,000 mouths. This great growing population has caused all kinds of problems. "Human population increased from millions in prehistoric times(史前时期) to over 7.5 billion today. Problems such as the loss of half of the world's forests and climate(气候) change are closely connected to the fact," says Robert Engelman of Population Action International. 　　With more people coming, how is this going to influence the world further?

It has fantastic mountain views(风景). But now it's facing a new problem—its population has been smaller and smaller in recent years. Families and young people are leaving. Only around 240 people now live there. The local school has closed. The seven children in the village have to go to another town to attend school. The village wants to attract(吸引) people to move in. It plans to offer newcomers a lot of money. A person aged over 18 will be offered about 25,000 Swiss francs. A child will be offered about 10,000 Swiss francs.

Everyone knows the one-child policy. It was a population control(控制) method in our country. The Chinese government wanted to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese parents understood that and followed this policy for nearly 40 years. However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. For example, the number of workers becomes fewer and China is now getting into an aging(老龄化) society. There will be more old people in the following years, but the society will be short of doctors and nurses to take care of them. That's why the Chinese government began the three-child policy in late May in 2021. It allows each family to have three children. The government hopes it can help solve those social problems gradually(逐渐地). This policy will help offer enough workers in the future. China will support parents who wish to have a third child, according to a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee(中共中央政治局会议). In order to encourage parents to have the third child, the government took many measures(措施). Lyu Yugang, an official of the Ministry of Education, said that after-school services would be further promoted(促进) as a support measure for China's three-child policy. By the end of May, a total of 102,000 primary and junior high schools in China had launched(发起) after-school services, benefiting 65 million students who could not be timely picked up when school hours ended. (　　)56.What can we know from the passage? A. The one-child policy won't work at all. B. There are more and more workers in our country. C. The three-child policy started in late May in 2021. D. There is no measure to encourage parents to have a third child. (　　)57.What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The family. B. The increasing population. C. The one-child policy. D. The three-child policy. (　　)58.The writer may think it is 　　　　to carry out the three-child policy.　  A. interesting B. wrong C. surprising D. important 　　阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 E 　　[外文原味新素材|世界人口达80亿] It's not a small world after all. The United Nations(UN) has reported that the world's population has hit 8 billion. Here is a closer look at some of the world's population trends(趋势). 　　The number is expected to increase in the next few years, although at a slower speed(速度). It took the world's population 12 years to grow from 7 billion to 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for it to hit 9 billion in 2037. And it will take another 22 years to hit 10 billion.

India's population is expected to pass China's for the first time in 2023.
