DEMAND FOR ELDERLY CARE SERVICES IN CHINA RISING RAPIDLY
The number of elderly people aged above 60 increased.Demand for elderly care services in China will continue to rise due to the increasing aging population.The number of elderly people aged above 60 was over 200 million in 2012, and will be 300 million in 2025 and 400 million in 2034, according to experts.
It will be a tough challenge for China to deal with, due to the increasing rates of urbanization and a DECREASING birth rate.The Chinese people will be facing a big challenge if we do not have enough money when we get older.
The United Nations defines an aging society as one that has 10 percent of its population at or above the age of 60.
When most developed countries were classed as an aging society, their gross domestic product (GDP) per capita stood at between 5,000 to 10,000 U.S.dollars or above.However, China became an aging society in 2001, and its GDP per capita was only 1,000 U.S.dollars.It was 6,000 U.S.dollars in 2012.China’s economic foundation for an elderly society is fragile.

Since 1976, employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields like law, medicine, business, etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines, the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.
Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.Candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education, find the attraction of industry irresistible.
(1)The U.S. will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because().
A.the number of PH.D.Degree holders is declining
B.the number of scientists and engineers is decreasing
C.the number of 22-year-ilds is declining
D.scientists and engineers are not employed
(2)The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from() .
A.technology
B.foreign nationals
C.such fields as law, medicine and business
D.postgraduates
(3)Large-scale enterprises now need ().
A.bright graduates and postgraduates
B.new inventions
C.advanced technology
D.engineers
(4) Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D.degree because().
A.they are not encouraged to be engaged in science
B.industry does not require PH.D.holders
C.they have financial difficulties
D.they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D.
(5) PH.D.candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means that().
A.they find industry is attracting more and more college students
B.they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industry
C.they cannot resist any attraction from all sides
D.they cannot work for industry any longer

Temperatures at Hudson Bay have risen by one half degree Fahrenheit every decade since 1950. Winter ice on the bay melts three weeks earlier than it did just 25 years ago, which means three fewer weeks of polar bear mealtime. Result: Polar bears are 10 percent thinner and produce 10 percent fewer cubs than they did 20 years ago. And though climatologists hotly debate the causes behind Earth's Arctic meltdown, "these changes are startling and unexpected,' says James McCarthy, co-leader of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The plight of polar bears is just the tip to the iceberg when it comes to mounting evidence of global warming. "There's definitely a stark contrast with the way things were at the start of the 20th century," says atmospheric scientist Leonard Druyan, of Columbia University. Recent data show the volume of Arctic sea ice has shrunk 20 percent since the 1950s; glaciers around the world are melting at rapidly increasing rates. Rivers and lakes in North America, Asia, and Europe now freeze about nine days later and thaw 10 days earlier than they did a century ago.
Most scientists believe the only effective strategy to halt global warming is to drastically reduce emissions of powerful air pollutants like carbon dioxide, which accounts for two-thirds of all greenhouse gases. In the last 150 years, the surging use of fossil fuels coal, oil, and natural gas -- has released 270 billion tons of carbon into the air in the form. of carbon dioxide. Fortunately, oceans, plants, and soils absorb more than half of all atmospheric carbon dioxide -- without them world temperatures might have already soared at an alarming rate.
By saying "Spring is usually prime food time for 1,200 polar bears"? (Line I, Para. 1), the author means that ______.
A.spring is usually a good time for polar bears to carry out their mating rituals
B.the polar bears usually eat a lot in the spring
C.spring is generally a good time to hunt polar bears
D.polar bears usually hibernate in the spring

There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.
We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. (19) Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.
It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.
Advertisement is often used to______.
A.deceive customers
B.increase production
C.arouse suspicion
D.push the sale

Law enforcement agencies are beginning to show interests in the effect of atmospheric conditions on behavior. Every year, the FBI's Uniform. Crime Reports provide break-downs of the crime rates by month and season of the year. Both monthly and seasonal variations are considered to reflect the varying influence of temperature, precipitation, humidity, length of daylight, and a number of other climatological factors.
Various studies find relationships between specific climatological conditions and crime. Rising temperature is generally accompanied by increase in aggression and violent crime. On the other hand, high humidity appears to reduce the incidence of physical activity and aggression. Rain, cloud cover, and other forms of inclement weather are associated with lower levels of property crimes and increased depression.
Our study showed that low humidity has the most widespread influence on all types of crime studied. The analysis also shows that as humidity increase the level of crime decreases. Temperature also has a great effect. Increasing temperature fails to influence the number of nighttime burglaries/larcenies, but it does increase the other crime categories. Burglaries/larcenies (day and night) and daytime assaults also tend to increase along with cloud cover. Except for wind speed and barometric pressure with regard to daytime assaults, the remaining weather factors have virtually no influence on the levels of crime.
Individuals who respond with criminal behavior. to weather change or weather extremes may be controllable by administering drugs that offset these influences. Electrical stimulation of pleasure centers in the brain may someday be a feasible countermeasure to aggressive stimuli due to increased temperature or other weather variables.
Changing or manipulating the weather is one possible means of attacking a weather crime interaction. This approach may not be feasible due to the many relationships between weather/ climate and the rotation of the earth. Minor changes may be possible such as regulation of rainfall of sky cover. On the other hand, temperature control may be impossible.
More research is needed to assess and clarify the relationship between crime and the various climatological factors. Once this is accomplished, it will be necessary to devise more accurate means of forecasting the weather, counteracting the effects of weather on human behavior, and controlling the environment, or identifying other approaches to the problem.
People are likely to be very active and aggressive
A.when it is rainy and cloudy.
B.as humidity increases.
C.when there is little moisture.
D.as temperature decreases.
