Her life seemed perfect to many people. Diana Spencer was born in 1961 to wealthy

parents in Sandringham, England. She grew up with money, education, and love and in

1981 she did what many little girls dream about. She married a prince. By 1984, Diana hadtwo beautiful sons, William and Harry. How could life be more perfect?

But Diana’s life wasn’t perfect. She was terribly unhappy in her marriage to Prince

Charles. In 1992 they separated, and in 1996 they divorced. But people in Britain and all

over the world still loved Diana and respected her for the work she did to help people in poorcountries. The press still followed her everywhere and reported everything she did, in both

her public and private lives.

And it seems that this adoring, sometimes critical, but always invasive press was at

least partly responsible for Princess Diana’s death on August 31, 1997. Diana and Dodi al Fayed, who was reported to be her fiancé, were killed in a car crash in Paris while trying to escape a group of paparazzi. The princess’ death left many people wondering about just

how far reporters should be allowed to go to get a story. Is a good story or photograph

worth risking someone’s life?

(A) She committed suicide.
(B) She died in a car crash.
(C) She died from illness.

(一) In many of the developing countries in Africa and Asia, the population is growing fast. The reason for this is simple: Women in these countries have a high birth rate – from 3.0 to 7.0 children per woman. The majority of these women are poor, without the food or resources to care for their families. Why do they have many children? Why don’t they limit the size of their families? The answer may be that they often have no choice. There are several reasons for this.

One reason is economic. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age. In an industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World War II, Italy’s economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1.3 children per woman, the world’s lowest.

However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. Saudi Arabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Nevertheless, it also has a very high birth rate (7.0). Mexico and Indonesia, on the other hand, are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recently reduced their population growth.

【題組】44. What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) Economy may or maynot influence birth rate.
(B) Women are poor in developing countries.
(C) Birth rate is very low in developing countries.
(D) Economy influences birth rate.

Once upon a time there was a king who had three daughters. He wanted to choose one of them to be the queen. He called the daughter to him and said, “My dear children, the one who brings me a birthday present which is most necessary to human life shall be queen. Go and make your plans.”

The king’s birthday arrived. The two oldest daughters brought him presents that were very necessary, but were also very expensive. However, the youngest daughter only brought him a small pile of salt. When the king saw her present, he became very angry. He told the daughter to leave his castle and never come back.

The daughter left her father’s castle. She had nowhere to go. As she wandered in the forest, cold and hungry, a prince saw her and fell in love with her at once. She agreed to marry him and a great party was held at the prince’s castle. The king was invited, but he did not know that the bride was his daughter.

The girl told the cook to make all the dishes for the party with no salt. At the wedding, everyone started eating and they found that the food had no taste. Then the king sighed, “I now know how necessary salt is. But, because I didn’t know that before, I sent my own daughter away and I will never see her again.” Hearing this, the daughter went to the king and made herself known. They all lived happily ever after.

(B) Don’t judge a person by her appearance.
