　　Man Is To Survive

　　Though we live in an age of digital development, human beings are confronted with more and more problems, which are endangering their existence on the earth. Population overcrowding is leading to an exhaustion of the earth's resources. We are threatened with deadly diseases, such as AIDS and cancer. The air, the water and the land have been polluted to different degrees.

　　More and more people are shocked by the poor living conditions on the earth so that they can't choose but wonder whether human beings can survive in the future. Were there no fresh air to breathe or no clean water to drink, how could human beings live on the earth? What's more, without abundant natural resources, for instance oil or various kinds of mineral, what can human beings live on? It looks as if the possibility for the human beings to live on the earth are much weaker than they were in the past.

　　Grave as the situation is, man, the most intelligent being in the world, is sure to find his way to solve the problems. In the first place, it's vital that people should be conscious of the seriousness of the situation. Moreover, strict laws must be made to prohibit companies and individuals from destroying the earth or polluting the environment. Most urgently, human beings must put science and technology to better use to protect the earth. Only then can it be possible that human beings will have a bright and colorful future.

　　Directions: In this part, you are to write a composition with "Global Awareness of Grain Shortage" as its title with no less than 120 words. Your composition should contain three paragraphs and the first sentence of each paragraph has been given. Please remember to write clearly and neatly.

　　1. Nowadays the whole world shows great concern over global grain shortage.

　　2. The reasons leading to such a situation are various.

　　3. It's no use only being conscious of the problem.

　　Global Awareness of Grain Shortage

　　Nowadays the whole world shows great concern over global grain shortage. It is reported that in recent years the total grain output all over the world has been reducing, which brings about the decrease of grain in stock. This phenomenon is by far the most serious in developing countries where many people are still subject to starvation.

　　The reasons leading to such a situation are various. First of all, the population explosion plays a main role. The more overcrowded the earth becomes, the less share of grain each man can get on average. In the second place, it is since the Industrial Revolution that large pieces of cultivated land have been occupied by buildings and factories. What's more, such natural disasters as flood, drought as well as hurricane can also result in the crop failure. In a word, not only the objective reasons but also the subjective ones aggravate the situation.

　　It is no use only being conscious of the problem. People throughout the world must take actions right now to help themselves out of the difficult situation. Great importance should be attached to protecting the environment, controlling the population, or saving food. There is still a long way to go. Only when the measures are put into practice, can the problem of grain shortage all over the world be settled.

　　Directions: In this part, you are to write a composition with "Health Improvement In Developing Countries" based on the following chart after analyzing the possible reasons for the changes. Your composition should be no less than 120 words. Please remember to write clearly and neatly.

　　Health Improvement In Developing Countries

　　From the above chart, we can draw the conclusion that in the past three decades developing countries have made much progress in the domain of public health. Great emphasis has been laid on the quality of people's living conditions.

　　The chart conveys that people in developing countries are expected to live longer now than before, for the average life expectancy in 1960 was about 40 years while that reached about 60 years by 1990. Meanwhile, in deve-loping countries the rate of infant mortality in 1960 was twice as high as that in 1990. In other words, the rate of infant mortality has declined in the past three decades.

　　It is evident that many factors contribute to these changes. As the economy improves, it is probable that the people in the developing countries have better living conditions. Moreover, much attention has been paid to people's diet. Some traditional foods have given way to high-nutrition foods. Also, good medical technology makes it possible for both the aged and the newly-born to have better medical care either at home or in hospital. With the further development of human beings' living standards, a lower rate of infant mortality can surely be expected in the coming years, as can a much longer life expectancy.
