Developingand developed countries

Module 2 Developing and Developed Countries新出生人口大多数在发展中国家，而发达国家的人口增长非常缓慢。

在发展中国家，有超过十亿的人生活在贫困线以下。

阅读下文，了解一下具体的情况吧！Most new people were born in developing countries. Thesecountries are found in much of Africa, South America and someparts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and NorthAmerica, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average(平均), only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, around one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only around one tenth of the world’s people.In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing. Children get little time at school and people suffer from many kinds of diseases.At the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion .The UN has said that the world’s population will level off at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it bees stable(稳定的), or even falls.Section ⅠIntroduction & Reading an d Vocabulary—prehending重点单词写作词汇1.ine n．收入2.human n.

单元检测（十四）Developing and Developed CountriesⅠ.阅读理解ALike many young people around the world, Emmanuel dreamed of getting a university education in the United States. The 26-year-old is an undocumented immigrant. This means he does not have the official permission needed to enter, live in, or work in the U．S. Emmanuel came to America from Mexico five years ago, when he discovered that he had to learn English and his dream was much more difficult to achieve. The major difficulty he realized was that there were very few opportunities for him to really receive a formal education.Federal laws do not prevent immigrants from going to college. But laws do ban illegal immigrants from receiving government financial aid. The average cost of a four-year degree at a public university is ＄9,410. By comparison, the average cost at a private university is ＄32,405.Many immigrants come to the U．S. with little money, so they usually can't afford the expensive education. Emmanuel read about University of the People which has no tuition fee. The classes and teaching materials are all free online. All the teachers are volunteers. But students must be at least 18 years old and have completed high school. The university just requires students to pay a ＄50 application fee when they are admitted and a ＄100 test fee when they complete a class.Shai Reshef is the president of University of the People. He was born in Israel. He decided to create a tuition-free university after visiting several poor countries, where people had limited higher education opportunities. He notes that University of the People is a model to show universities and governments that the issue can be solved. Higher education can be affordable, can be high-quality and shouldn't leave anyone behind.Currently, there are more than 2,500 students studying with the University of the People. It only provides degrees in computer science and business administration. The university expects the student number to double next year.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。
