Learning is natural. It begins the minute we are born. Our  36   teachers are our families. __37    home we learn to speak and to  38  and feed ourselves. We learn these and other skills by  39__ our parents.

Then we go to school. A teacher tells us  40   to learn. Many teachers teach us, and we pass many  41  .Then people say we are  42 .

Are we really educated? Let’s think about the real meaning of  43  . Knowing facts does not mean being able to solve problems. Solving problems  44   creativity, not just a good  45  . Some people who don’t know many facts are good at solving problems.

Henry Ford is a good  46  . He went to school at the age of 15. Later, when his company could not build cars  47  , he solved the problem. He thought of the assembly line (装配线). Today the answer seems  48  . Yet think of the many university graduates who have   49  solved such a problem.

What does a good teacher do? Does he give students facts to 50  ? NO! A good teacher shows how to find answers. He shows us to the  51   of knowledge so we can learn to think for ourselves. When we are  52  , we know where to go.

True learning combines（联系） intake with output. We take information  53   our brains. Then we use it. Think of a computer, it stores a lot of  54   but it can’t think. It only  55    commands. A person who only remembers facts hasn’t really learned. Learning takes place only when a person can use what he knows.

       Today, among people everywhere, there is an increasing awareness and worry about the steady growth in the world’s population．A recent survey conducted by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities （UNFPA） reported that this growth will continue until the end of the next century．For developing countries alone, the annual average population growth is, at present, 4．6% compared to 2．0% for developed countries．At this rate, the world’s population will reach 10．2 billion by the turn of the 21st century．With the growth in population is the problem of food security… the guarantee of a steady supply of food．The unstoppable growth in population justifies the Malthusian Doctrine that population of a region will continue to grow unless checked, and this is of course alarming since it will inevitably lead to food shortages of considerable proportions．

       Our forests are an abundant source of food and fuel, two items essential in sustaining life．Above 30% of the world’s land surface is covered by such forests．In Asia alone, more than two billion people depend heavily on forest products for their subsistence and survival．To maintain a reasonable balance between population growth and food supply, this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel must be conserved and protected from its worst enemy — man himself．It is appalling （令人震惊的） to note that in many developing countries, which are themselves heavily hit by population-food imbalance, governments approve the cutting down of forests to meet their immediate needs for saleable timber, and also for agricultural land．Often the cutting down and burning of forests is conducted with total abandon owing to the absence of sound forestry techniques and management．At the rate tropical forests are now being cleared each year, the world’s tropical forests will be completely destroyed within the next 100 years．

       In order to maintain food security for the world’s population, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations （FAO） has launched a campaign aimed at ensuring food supply, maximizing stability in the flow of this supply and ensuring access to it by all．Forestry, according to the FAO, plays a vital role in making it possible to fulfill all its three objectives．Its most important role is that of conserving soil and water．Trees provide natural protection against soil erosion （侵蚀） by absorbing the excess water brought by heavy rains．

1．The first paragraph tells us that ____．

       A．the flow of food supply is the result of population increase．

       B．the world population has reached the 10-billion mark．

       C．the problem of population growth has caused considerable alarm in a few countries．

       D．the problem of food supply goes hand-in-hand with population increase．

       A．an optimistic view of the future     B．a pessimistic outlook for the future

       C．an encouraging picture            D．an indifferent picture

3．In this context, “this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel” （in Paragraph 2） refers to ____．

       A．the flow of food supply            B．forests

       C．woodland products                D．man’s worst enemy

4．The three objectives of the FAO can be replaced by ____．

       A．stopping population growth        B．increasing food production

       C．achieving food security           D．ensuring maximum utilization of forests
