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. Housing Families with more than one child are more likely to get public rental housing. Work Companies may give workers time to send and pick up children from school. Education Kindergartens should receive younger children aged 2﹣3.Normally they only receive children older than age 3. Baby care rooms Public areas shall build more baby care rooms for mothers to feed their babies or change diapers (尿布). (1)Which country of the following might have the largest population in 2023?

One day,instead of listening to their complaints,the smart person shared a funny joke.Everyone laughed and had a good time!But when he repeated(重复)the same joke,only a few people tried to smile.By the third time,nobody found it funny at all.

You may wonder:how do our ears work?The ear has three different parts:the outer ear,the middle ear and the inner ear.The outer ear is the part you can see.It collects sound around you.The sound then travels down to the middle ear,the inner ear and then to your brain. Your ears never stop working,even when you are asleep!Your ears continue hearing sounds,but your brain just ignores(忽略)them.That's why you may sometimes wake up suddenly in the middle of the night﹣﹣your brain heard something,but you don't know what it was,since you were asleep. But ears do more than hear.They help you keep your balance(平衡),too.In the inner ear,there are organs that are filled with liquid(液体)and covered in small hairs.When you move your head,the liquid and hairs move,too.They send messages to your brain about the position(位置) of your head. The ears are truly important organs with many uses._. (1)Does the ear have three different parts? (2)How does the outer ear work? (3)According to the passage,what can ears help us to do?
