- Instituted in 1979 as a temporary measure to limit population growth, China’s one child policy remains in force today and is likely to continue for another decade. China’s population control policy has attracted criticism because of the manner in which it is enforced, and also because of its social repercussions. Supporters of the Chinese government’s policy consider it a necessary measure to curb extreme overpopulation, which has resulted in a reduction of an estimated 300 million people in its first twenty years. Not only is a reduced population environmentally beneficial, it also increases China’s per capita gross domestic product. The one-child policy has led to a disparate ratio of males to females – with abortion, abandonment and infanticide of female infants resulting from a cultural preference for sons. Furthermore, Draconian measures such as forced sterilization are strongly opposed by critics as a violation of human reproduction rights. The one-child policy is enforced strictly in urban areas, whereas in provincial regions fines are imposed on families with more than one child. There are also exceptions to the rules – for example, ethnic minorities. A rule also allows couples without siblings to have two children – a provision that applies to millions of sibling-free adults now of childbearing age.
Q1: China’s one-child policy increases the country’s wealth.
Q2: The passage suggests that two-child families will dramatically increase, as sibling-free adults reach child-bearing age.
Q4: Families with more than one child are more common in China’s rural areas.
Q5. The general preference among Chinese parents is for male babies.
2.Sodium chloride, or salt, is essential for human life. Typically derived from the evaporation of sea water or the mining of rock salt deposits, salt has been used by humans for thousands of years as a food seasoning and preservative. The mineral sodium is an electrolyte – an electrically-charged ion – that enables cells to carry electrical impulses to other cells, for example muscle contractions. Electrolytes also regulate the body’s fluid levels. A diet deficient in salt can cause muscle cramps, neurological problems and even death. Conversely, a diet high in salt leads to an increased risk of conditions such as hypertension, heart disease and stroke. In spite of high-profile campaigns to raise awareness, salt consumption has increased by 50% in the past four decades, with the average adult ingesting more than double the amount of salt their body requires. Much of this increase can be attributed to the advent of frozen and processed foods in the mid-twentieth century. In the United States it is estimated that excessive salt consumption claims 150,000 lives and results in $24 billion of health care costs annually. For individuals wishing to reduce their sodium intake, the answer is not simply rejecting the salt shaker; 75% of the average person’s salt consumption comes from food, such as bread, cereals, and cheese.
Q1: Humans primarily use salt for food flavoring and preservation.
Q3: Frozen and processed foods contain no more salt than contained in a typical diet.
Q4: Over three-quarters of the average person’s salt consumption comes from frozen foods.
Q5: The human body needs salt to maintain constant levels of body fluids.
3. In the past, home heating systems have been operated using different sources of energy such as wood, electricity, and kerosene. But these are expensive when compared to a more recently developed source - solar energy. Solar energy is an alternative, but its application for heating is limited to a small numbers of appliances. There is also the difficulty of obtaining solar energy for heating purposes in the winter time when it is most needed and its major resource, the sun, is hardly effective.
Q1: Solar energy is hardly available in the winter.
Q2: The use of solar energy for heating is restricted to a few heating devices.
Q3:There are other major resources that can be used to provide solar energy instead of the sun.
4. It is now widely acknowledged that the movement against racism in Western European societies is gaining momentum. Openness to diversity and multicultural societies resulting from mass immigration have also contributed to reduce discrimination suffered by minority groups. Unfortunately, racial discrimination remains prevalent. Racial discrimination can create anarchy and damage the delicate fabric of society which can undermine a nation's resilience.
Q1: Mass immigration leading to multicultural societies has contributed to increased racism in Western Europe.
Q2: Societies that do not fight against racial discrimination may suffer in the future.
