Look at your watch for just one minute. During that time, 174 babies were born in the world. Maybe you think that isn’t many. During the next hour, over 10440 more babies will be born in the world. So it goes on, hour after hour. In one day, people have to find food for over 250 000 mouths more. Just think how many more there will be in one year! What will happen in one hundred years The population (人口) problem may be the greatest one of the world today. The world’s population is growing faster and faster. Two thousand (千) years ago, there were only 200 million (百万) people in the world. Four hundred years ago, the number was over 500 mil- lion. But in the year 1900, the world’s population was about 1700 million. In 1970, this number was over 3 600 million. In 1990, the number was over 5 billion (十亿). People say by the year 2010, it may be seven billion. That means in about 600 years, there will be only standing room on the earth. By the year 1998 the world’s population reached 6 billion.

One day, I happened to (碰巧) talk to a stranger (陌生人，异乡人) on the bus. When he found (发现，找到，创办)out that I was from Chicago, he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wanted to know if I happened to know him. At first I wanted to say that it was foolish (愚蠢的，可笑的) to think that I could possibly meet his friend since there were millions of people in Chicago. But, instead, I just smiled and said that Chicago was a very big city. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend. He told me that his friend was an excellent (优秀的) tennis player (运动员) , and that he even had his own tennis court (网球场). He added that he knew a lot of people with swimming pools, but that he only knew two people in the country had their own tennis courts. And his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several people like that, for example, my brother and my next- door neighbour (邻居，邻接). I told him that my brother was a doctor and he lived in California. Then he asked where my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that last year his friend spent the summer in Sacramento and lived next door to a doctor. The doctor had a tennis court (法院，院子), I said that my next-door neighbour went to Sacramento last summer and lived in the house next to my brother’s. For a moment, we looked at each other, but we did not say anything. "Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Little Wood" I asked finally (最终). He laughed and said, "Would your brother’s name happen to be Ray Hunter" It was my turn to laugh. The writer’s brother was a
Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something m all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. An artist’s choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be ______ .
