In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russias population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children than their parents. I have one child and she is enough for me, said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. My husband and I both work fulltime. We cant imagine having more than one child. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. I dont want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years, said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 1824 year old women everywhere in Europe.In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child.（1）Where in the world is the population getting smaller? （2）How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have? （3）What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children? （4）Why is the population in Poland going down? （5）How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now? 五、 根据句意及汉语提示补全句中所缺单词。（共10小题，计10分） (共10题；共10分)21. （1分）Bill, let me get two _ (梨)for you 22. （1分）_（也许） he will come for afternoon tea, but Im not sure. 23. （1分）I like listening to m_. 24. （1分）We were flying a_ the clouds. 25. （1分）The middle school life is quite busy.
