Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised mainly older males.
Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U.
S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest
growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this
transient and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both
legal and educational — for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.考试大论坛
Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million.

Passage 1
Crowded Cities
Humans are about to become a majority urban species for the first time. Does this trend mean poverty or
prosperity for the world's urban dwellers? As a social problem, how is urbanization negatively affecting our
society? The answer to these questions is not a simple one.
A UN forecast released last week reports that half of all humans will live in urban areas by the end of the
year 2008-and 70 percent by 2050-even though cities occupy only about 3 percent of Earth's land surface.
Urban growth is driven by the developing world, where African and Asian cities grow by a million people a
week, according to the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) report. Cities are growing, in part, because their large,
young populations are in their reproductive prime. But observers note that much more urban growth stems from
