It isn't strictly true that one half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. It is one-third that is very rich and two-thirds that are very poor.
People in the rich countries don't understand the great difference between them and those in the poorer countries. A very simple example is that a dog or a cat in north America eats better than a child in the poorer countries. A fisherman in South America may be catching fish which is processed into pet food, and his own children are not getting enough to eat for their bodies to grow properly.
Although a lot of the world's natural resources like oil come from these poorer countries, people in the richer countries are using about sixty times as much of these resources as people in Asia or Africa. And it's the richer countries that decide what kind of prices they are ready to pay for these resources. And the prices the richer countries get for their own exports, however, are always rising. So they are getting richer and richer and the poorer countries are getting poorer.

Do you have bright ideas?Ideas for inventions that change the world or, at least, make life easier for somebody?P 1 we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a real thing．Recently, there was a competition in a country, which encouraged young people to make their bright ideas come true．There were t 2 groups in the contest：Group A was for school children under 16; Group B was for those o 3 16．And there were eleven prize-winners altogether．
Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c 4 “Sunshine Superman”by one newspaper writing about his design．When people study the weather, it’s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately．We need to know how many h 5 of sunshine we have and how strong it is．Most sunshine recorders o 6 record direct(直接的)sunshine．Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power．Neil plans to keep inventing．
The ideas in the competition were so g 7 that we are surprised that the industry(工业界)doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions．

We often make a handshake in business and in life in China．It often takes place when you meet someone new and when you leave a party or a meeting．
People are supposed to shake hands in many countries．But every country has its own custom of shaking hands, so you need to know something about another country's handshaking custom before you visit it．
Here are some of the most usual handshaking customs around the world：
★In England you shake hands whenever you meet someone, even if you know them well．
★Russians shake hands often．However, they never shake hands while wearing gloves．
★A strong handshake and holding hands closely are signs of welcome in South Africa．
★Men in Arabian cultures prefer a long handshake．At the same time, they will say a few words to greet the other person．
★The French always shake hands in business meetings．In social situations, they kiss each other on the face．
★People in India and Pakistan shake hands by holding your hand in both their hands．
It is considered impolite to refuse to shake hands with someone．But don't worry if someone refuses to shake hands with you, because there may be some special reasons．For example, maybe they have a cold or don't feel very well．A person that is unable to shake hands should always say sorry and explain for it so that the other person does not feel unhappy．
