Though great progress has been made in science these years, but there are still many people live
in poor conditions．They make their living by collecting and selling used thing．Their children
cannot go to school because they have not enough money to send their children to there．Why
you think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population
explosion．A president of a developing country once say: “It is us who are to blame for the

Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station．
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers．I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it．”
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do．“You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye．“They’re paying you．If they want to do that, you let them do that．”
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since．
Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me．Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions．Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience．If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone．I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal．If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone．
Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble．

C．Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers．
D．It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy．
3.The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ______．
A．it is a totally shared experience B．it is considered as the most dangerous

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf． Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell．Health foods are packaged （包装） in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours．Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver．
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective．
Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm． The size of a product can attract a shopper．But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to．
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product．The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote （推销） their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it．”
