Reading comprehension

　　People's appearance(外貌) depends on things called genes(基因). Genes are found in the cells(细胞) of people's bodies, and they are passed on from parents to children. Here are some facts about eyes.

　　Many Europeans and Americans can have blue, green or brown eyes. But a brown-eyed person, for example, may also carry genes for another colour in his/her body. So two brown-eyed or green-eyed parents may not have a child with the same colour eyes. If a child's father and mother both have brown eyes, the child will probably also have brown eyes, but this is not certain.

　　If one parent has blue eyes and one has brown eyes, their children may have either blue eyes or brown eyes, but most will probably have brown eyes. The gene for blue eyes is recessive(隐性的) and the gene for brown eyes is dominant(显性的). This means that if a child gets a gene for blue eyes and also a gene for brown eyes from its parents, brown will win, and the child's eyes will be brown, not blue.

Judge the following sentences True or false according to the passage. (根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的写“T”，错误的写“F”。)

1．Children look like their parents because they get genes from their parents.

(　　)

2．A brown-eyed person only carries the gene for brown eyes in his/her body.

(　　)

3．If a child has brown eyes, its parent may have other colour eyes.

(　　)

4．If a child's father and mother both have green eyes, the child's eyes must be green.

(　　)

5．If one parent has blue eyes and one has brown eyes, their child mostly has brown eyes.

　　Look at your watch for just one minute. During that time in 1981, 239 babies were born in the world. Perhaps you think that isn’t much. In the next hour, over 14,000 more babies will be born on the earth. Just think how many more babies there will be born in one year. If this goes hour after hour, what will happen in a hundred years?

　　The population problem may be the greatest one of the world today. Two thousand years ago, there were only 250 million people on the earth. Four hundred years ago, the number was over 500 million. The population may be 8,000 million by the year 2000.

　　In China, the population problem is quite great, too. The Party’s leaders are paying much attention to it, but lots of people don’t think so. They like to do what they want. Some love more children. Some wish to have both son and daughter. Other would like to have not only daughters but also sons. Haven’t they ever thought the population problem?
