The gr

2、avity of the situation shocked Bob Geldof, an Irish musician, so he organized a charity concert called Live Aid to raise money for the victims of hunger in Ethiopia. The concert took place on 13 July 1985 in two placesLondon and Philadelphiaand included the biggest stars of the time. Geldof intended

3、 the concert to raise money for hunger relief and to make the public more aware of the problem. In the end, $100 million was raised, which was used to buy food and to provide help with development projects in Ethiopia. The concert also made the headlines around the world, and put great pressure on p

4、oliticians and statesmen to do something about the problem of world hunger. Live Aid was in 1985, but for many people in the developing world, disease and poverty are still a serious problem. According to the United Nations, ten million people die every year of starvation or problems related to havi

5、ng a poor diet. In fact, hunger is the worlds number one health risk, killing more people than any disease. In wrestling with the dilemma of worldwide hunger, the United Nations set up an agency called the World Food Programme(WFP) in 1963. The WFP has organized a number of programmes, including the

6、 Food-for-Life programme, which sends emergency food aid to countries during times of trouble; the Food-for-Growth programme, which targets people most at risk, such as babies, pregnant women and old people; and the Food-for-Work programme, which helps people without jobs support themselves by givin

7、g them work and paying them in food aid. Through programmes like these, the WFP has helped more than one billion people since it was set up. This is beyond doubt an amazing achievement, but is it enough? Today, some developing countries in Africa, Asia and South America stand at a crossroads. While

8、they are seeing great development, they are still poorer than many countries in other parts of the world, and there is a danger that they could fall further behind developed countries. They need help, but the sad truth is that merely sending loaves of bread is not enough. It is only a short-term sol

9、ution to a long-term problem. There is a saying that goes, Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for the rest of his life. In order to find a permanent solution to this long-term problem, countries need to develop so that they can either grow the food t

10、hey need, or have enough money to buy this food on the world market. What developing countries really need to do is to stop poverty by fighting the causes of it. One way to help a country develop is to improve its infrastructure. The infrastructure of a country is what makes everything run well, and

11、 it includes things like transport, irrigation, electricity, telephones, and schools. These things provide a framework for new jobs to be created, allowing people to help themselves so that they no longer need to depend on others. Another way to help a country is through the development of private e

12、nterprise along with job training in order to address the problem of unemployment. For example, in Afghanistan, housewives and windows have been taught to sew clothing, which they can sell for extra income. In eastern Nigeria, young people are being trained to use computer technology to develop thei

13、r problem-solving and communication skills, and to find new occupations in the field of technology. In South Africa, a community programme is providing training and help for people without jobs or homes, so that they can learn to make works of art to sell to tourists. Although this is a bit differen

14、t from conventional businesses, the programme is growing fast, and many people have been quite successful in it. Finally, we must remember that the future of a country lies in the hands of its children. This is why education and training for young people is so important. There are hundreds of succes

15、s stories from all over the developing world, showing that a lot is being done to fight poverty, yet we cannot pretend that the fight is over. Poverty is still killing people. However, these small victories are a good start towards a better future, as they are not the results of giving a man a singl

16、e fish so that he can eat for a day. They are the result of teaching a man to fish so that he can fill his belly for a lifetime. 1985年，埃塞俄比亞幾乎沒有降雨，這導(dǎo)致收成損毀，很多城市的牛畜死亡。事態(tài)的嚴(yán)重性讓鮑勃·格爾多夫，一位愛爾蘭音樂家震驚，格爾多夫想通過音樂會為解救饑餓籌錢，并提高公眾對該問題的意識。1985年7月13日，音樂會在倫敦和費(fèi)城兩地舉行，出席者包括了當(dāng)時(shí)最紅的巨星。所以他組織了一場名為“現(xiàn)場援助”的慈善音樂會，為埃塞俄比亞饑荒受難者

17、募集資金。最后，籌集到了一億美元，這些錢被用來購買食物以及為埃塞俄比亞的發(fā)展項(xiàng)目提供幫助。 “現(xiàn)場援助”音樂會發(fā)生在1985年，但對許多發(fā)展中國家的人來說，疾病和貧困仍是嚴(yán)重的問題。音樂會還得到了全世界的關(guān)注，這給政客們施加了巨大壓力，迫使他們?yōu)槭澜绲酿囸I問題做一些事情。根據(jù)聯(lián)合國的資料，每年有一千萬人死于饑餓和營養(yǎng)不良。為了抗擊世界各地的饑荒，聯(lián)合國于1963年成立了世界糧食計(jì)劃署（WFP）組織。世界糧食計(jì)劃署已經(jīng)組織了若干項(xiàng)目，包括：挽救生命糧食計(jì)劃該計(jì)劃為處于危機(jī)時(shí)刻的國家送去緊急糧食援助；健康成長糧食計(jì)劃它主要以身處危險(xiǎn)中的人作為目標(biāo)，例如嬰兒、孕婦和老年人；幫助失業(yè)的人們維持生計(jì)的以

18、工貸賑計(jì)劃通過給他們工作，用食物援助支付他們的工資。通過這樣的計(jì)劃，世界糧食計(jì)劃署從其建立起，已經(jīng)幫助了十億多人。勿需置疑，這是驚人的成就，但是這就足夠了嗎？發(fā)展中國家真正需要做的就是通過與貧困的根源做斗爭來消滅貧困。這樣做的方法之一就是改善一國的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。一國的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施就是讓一切良好運(yùn)作的設(shè)施，包括交通、灌溉、電力、電話和學(xué)校等。這些事業(yè)如果發(fā)展起來，就會為人們創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會，使得他們可以幫助自己而不用依賴他人。今天，非洲、亞洲和南美洲的一些發(fā)展中國家正處于關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻。當(dāng)前它們正經(jīng)理巨大的發(fā)展，但同時(shí)它們依然比世界上很多其他國家要貧窮，并且有進(jìn)一步于落后發(fā)達(dá)國家的危險(xiǎn)它們需要幫助，但不幸的事實(shí)是

19、僅有食物援助是不夠的那僅僅是一個(gè)長期問題的短期解決辦法。發(fā)展中國家真正需要做的就是通過與貧困的根源做斗爭來消滅貧困。為了找到解決這一長期問題的長久之計(jì)。有句俗語是這樣說的：“授人以魚，三餐之需；授人以漁，終生之用?！眹倚枰l(fā)展以生產(chǎn)他們需要的食物，并有足夠的錢在世界市場上購買這些食物。盡管這有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)不同于傳統(tǒng)的商業(yè)，但它迅速成長，許多人很成功。幫助一個(gè)國家的另一個(gè)方法是通過私營企業(yè)伴隨職業(yè)培訓(xùn)的發(fā)展解決失業(yè)問題。例如，在阿富汗，家庭主婦和寡婦們被教授縫制衣服，這些衣服可以出售增加額外收入。在尼日利亞東部，年輕人接受培訓(xùn)，學(xué)習(xí)使用電腦技術(shù)來發(fā)展他們的解決問題和溝通的技能，并尋找技術(shù)領(lǐng)域新的職業(yè)

20、。在南非，一項(xiàng)社區(qū)計(jì)劃為失業(yè)和無家可歸的人提供培訓(xùn)和幫助，讓他們用金屬絲制作藝術(shù)品向游客出售。盡管這有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)不同于傳統(tǒng)的商業(yè)，但它迅速成長，許多人很成功。在各處的發(fā)展中國家有數(shù)以百計(jì)的成功故事，表明人們正在做許多事情與貧困作斗爭。但我們不能佯稱斗爭已經(jīng)結(jié)束。貧困仍然在致人死亡。但是，這些小的勝利是通向更美好未來的良好開端。因?yàn)樗鼈儾皇恰笆谌艘贼~，三餐之需”的結(jié)果。它們是授人以漁的成果，讓一個(gè)人可以一生填飽肚子。據(jù)信，在未來的數(shù)十年中，世界人口將增長到大約九十億。這一發(fā)展應(yīng)不同于過去的發(fā)展，過去的發(fā)展污染環(huán)境且浪費(fèi)自然資源這應(yīng)該給人們敲響了警鐘，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)簡單明了的事實(shí)是為了讓每一個(gè)人生存，在全球

21、發(fā)展方面必須有重大改變。對于現(xiàn)在討論的這個(gè)問題，一種可能的解決辦法就是可持續(xù)發(fā)展、可持續(xù)發(fā)展是長期規(guī)劃，關(guān)注環(huán)境和保護(hù)自然資源它完全是為每一個(gè)人創(chuàng)造更好的保健、教育、住房和改良的生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這是一個(gè)簡單的想法，不過也是一個(gè)難于付諸實(shí)踐的理念。然而，這是我們必須要做的，因?yàn)闆]有可持續(xù)發(fā)展，我們的未來和我們的子孫的生命將處于危險(xiǎn)之中。在我們的現(xiàn)代生活中，我們做的幾乎每一件事都要用到地球的自然資源。這些自然資源為做許多重要的事情提供能量：運(yùn)輸、燒開水及為電器供電。這一列表幾乎是無窮無盡的。為了能做所有這些事情，我們主要依靠燃料，如煤、天然氣和石油來產(chǎn)生能量。煤、天然氣和石油在地下找到。一旦這些燃料的儲

22、量用光了，它們就沒有了。我們現(xiàn)在消耗這些燃料的速度要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出生產(chǎn)這些燃料的速度一些人相信如果這種情況繼續(xù)下去，油田和煤層在將來將會枯竭。此外，燃燒這些燃料產(chǎn)生二氧化碳，而二氧化碳對環(huán)境有害。二氧化碳是造成空氣、水和土壤污染的原因之一，造成酸雨。這就是許多人正在強(qiáng)烈要求使用替代能源的原因。替代能源不會耗盡。一些可再生的能源例如有太陽能、風(fēng)能和水電。當(dāng)人們變得更加關(guān)注保護(hù)環(huán)境時(shí)，此類能源正變得日益受歡迎。太陽能用太陽來提供熱、光、熱水和電。管子里有油或者水，加熱后被送到儲能槽里儲存到需用時(shí)，亦或被用來發(fā)電。太陽照射到鏡子上，加熱鏡子以及鏡子下面的管子。收集太陽能的最普通的方法就是通過使用一個(gè)包括鏡

This should set alarm bells ringing, since the bare fact is that in order for everyone to survive, serious adjustments need to be made in worldwide development. Th

25、is development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and wasted natural resources. One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. Sustainable development focuses on preserving the environment and natural resources. It is al

26、l about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standard of living for everyone. This is a simple idea, but one that is hard to put into practice. However, it is something that we must do, because without sustainable development our future and the lives of our children and our g

27、randchildren will be in danger. Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of the Earths natural resources. These natural resources provide the energy for many important things: for transport, for boiling water, and for powering electrical equipment. The list is almost endless. For

28、 all these things, we mostly depend on fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy. Coal, gas and oil are found underground. Once deposits of these fuels are used up, they are gone. We are now consuming these fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. Some people believe that if

29、 this continues, oilfields and coal mines will become empty in the future. On top of this, burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. Carbon dioxide contributes to air, water and soil pollution. This is why many people are pushing for the use of alternative ene

30、rgy sources. Alternative energy sources can be used without running out. Some examples of the alternatives are solar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectricity. As people are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment, these types of energy are becoming more and more popular. Solar en

31、ergy uses the sun to provide heat, light, hot water and electricity. The most common way to gather solar energy is to use a complex system of mirrors, pipes and a storage tanks. The solar radiation shines onto the mirrors and heats them as well as the pipes below them. The pipes have oil or water in

32、side them, which is heated and sent to the storage tank until needed or used to produce electricity. In the past, wind power was used to pump water and make flour from grain. Today, wind power is used to produce electricity. Wind power units are placed at least thirty metres above the ground, where

33、there is a lot of wind. Of all the alternative energy sources, hydroelectricity is the oldest and most common. Hydroelectricity uses the force of water flow to produce electricity, so power plants must be over a water source. Developments in technology have allowed us to store and send electricity f

34、rom water power so that it can be used by people near the power source. In many parts of the world, tentative, steps are being taken to introduce these forms of alternative energy. For example, some people in Nigeria are training to use solar power, and in Costa Rica, people are now using hydroelect

35、ricity to provide power for their small villages. Many of these communities did not have any form of electricity or power before this. The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world.

36、 This will mean good things for our future, our childrens future and our grandchildrens future. 給未來的禮物據(jù)信，在未來的數(shù)十年中，世界人口將增長到大約九十億。這一發(fā)展應(yīng)不同于過去的發(fā)展，過去的發(fā)展污染環(huán)境且浪費(fèi)自然資源這應(yīng)該給人們敲響了警鐘，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)簡單明了的事實(shí)是為了讓每一個(gè)人生存，在全球發(fā)展方面必須有重大改變。對于現(xiàn)在討論的這個(gè)問題，一種可能的解決辦法就是可持續(xù)發(fā)展、可持續(xù)發(fā)展是長期規(guī)劃，關(guān)注環(huán)境和保護(hù)自然資源它完全是為每一個(gè)人創(chuàng)造更好的保健、教育、住房和改良的生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這是一個(gè)簡單的想法，不

40、ome population trends in the USA. Aging in the sun Older Americans are on the move. Throughout the Midwest and the Northeast, people aged 60 and over are packing their bags and heading south along the freeway to states like Florida. For some of these people the move is permanent, but for others it i

In fact, according to the national population survey conducted recently, Florida is home to the largest population of people aged 65 and older. This group makes up over 17 percent of the states population. Th

42、e national average is only about 12.7 percent, so it is not surprising that Florida is known as the oldest place in the USA. The question is, though, why are so many people retiring and spending their pensions in Florida? People give a variety of reasons, from wanting better health care to looking f

43、or communities of older people. Most agree, however, that they like the climate in Florida, which, apart from a few hurricanes, is warmer than in other places. Younger people might like snow and cold, but for people my age, such weather is very tough; snow can turn into ice, which is easy to slip on

44、. We prefer staying comfortable, and thats why moving somewhere warmer makes sense, says Edna, a 78-year-old woman living in Florida. Most US citizens retire around the age of 62, and the trend seems to be for them to move to warmer places. Florida is a popular choice for these people because of the

45、 pleasant climate and the low cost of living there. As the number of older Americans moving there increases, more changes are made to cater to them. For example, ambulances respond faster now, and many houses have bathrooms designed for older owners, with things like easy-to-use bathtubs that reduce

46、 the risk of slips and falls. Such adaptions are making Florida even more attractive to older people. My wife and I have come to Florida every winter for years, but now we want to buy a house here because the community understands the needs of older people. I can play bingo here, plant my herb garde

57、s associated more with moving and travelling than the Romany, who have been wandering around Europe and Asia for nearly 1,000 years. This article explains the history of the Romany and some of the reasons for their movement. Asian origins The Romany are thought to have first come from India. Over th

58、e centuries, they split into different groups with different names, spreading into many countries, mostly in Europe. They also developed their own language, of which there are now approximately sixty varieties. The Romany have never written down their history, so it is hard to clarify their origins

59、or exact history. It is also difficult to be precise about how many Romany people there are, though the Council of Europe has suggested a number of about 9.8 million.A travelling culture Many people often refer to the Romany as travellers. In English-speaking countries, they are often called Gypsies because of the belief that they first came from Egypt. However, today it
