Perhaps we will begin a new history when we begin to farm the sea, and live under it! Some scientists say that we will grow fish like plants in the fields. The water will not be very deep and the water temperature will be at the level to make the fish grow biggest and fastest. Oxygen will be fed into the water and low flying airplanes will spray the sea with food. Even without fish farming, scientists say that there are enough fish in the Indian Ocean to feed all of India for a hundred years and in the Antarctic Sea and there are so many tiny fish that it is impossible to use them all up.
    With education and more technology, people in poor countries will learn how to grow better food. They will become happier and have fewer children so the food problem will actually get better.

There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee, the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.

    The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned to be OK.

  Then the professor asked about the cure for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.

    “Good,” said the professor, “ and how much will you give the patient?”

    “A full spoon”, answered the student.

    “Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”

    “I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.

if he takes only one full spoon at a time.

  D. If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five

drops at a time.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability .

    Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

    At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

    Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

    There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor , too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
