Tang Zhou and his wife are planning to have their second child，a test—tube baby．His wife had a natural delivery when she was 34 and their first child，a boy, is now 7．The couple are now hoping to have a daughter through a surrogate mother(代孕)in the US．“My wife couldn’t bear another delivery because of her heart condition and her age．Surrogacy helps avoid the risks to older mothers，”Tang said，“Moreover, our second child will be born in the US and become a citizen there．That is not a bad choice．”
The couple spent weeks researching their move，looking for a reliable agency that provides surrogacy services overseas．Surrogacy is still illegal in many countries，including China．“We will be taking much higher risks by relying on a surrogate mother in China because we are not protected by any regulation or law．You pay a lot of money but may meet with many problems，”Tang said．“You might not even get your baby back．’’

The center is in San Diego，California，and has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Beijing．According to Liu，the center has been operating for more than eight years，and about 100 surrogate mothers live in California．

Many of the world’s countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG) ．Nearly all such lands are economically well developed．They include much of Europe(including Russia)，the United States，Canada，Japan．and Australia．As the rate of natural increase(RNI)declines，two things happen．First，the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration．Second，a country’s population ages because there are fewer births．
Is achieving ZPG good or bad? What happens when a country’s population begins to drop? Many people，after all，believe that population decline is a good thing．But is it good for everyone? Does everyone agree?
An aging population can create many problems．Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention．Rather than paying into retirement programs，they begin to draw from their pensions．In the US，the Social Security program，according to many experts，will be used up by 2018．It will pay out more money than it takes in．Additionally, a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry。level positions that pay low wages．With an able to do them．Many of these jobs are aging population，who will fill them? At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills．Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?
The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration．Today many people，particularly those from less developed countries，are migrating in search of employment．Many are willing to take jobs that cannot(or will not) be filled by the domestic population．Others are well educated and highly skilled．Both groups contribute to a country’s economy progress in many ways．Further, they add to the richness of a country’s culture．Of greatest importance，perhaps，is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands．As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win—win situation．

A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good．
B．Achieving ZPG is every country’s aim in spite of its side effects．
C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens．
D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment．
33． According to the passage，the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ．
A．to improve the health care system B．to increase RNI
C．to increase employment D．to increase migration
34．The underlined words “the domestic population’’ can be replaced by ．
A．people within the country B．people from developing countries
C．people without a college education D．people living abroad
35．The main idea of the last paragraph is
A．the advantages of increased migration
B．the problem of declining and aging population
C．how to increase migration

HOW to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean—spirited at times，loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life．You love them for the fact that they created you，raised you，and are in part a source of who you are．Here are some ways to love your parents．
36 A gentle ‘‘good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart．Remember that they brought you into this world．Without your parents，you might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world．
Respect them more and cherish these moments．You can use these moments to learn from them for when you’re off on your own．It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents．Act calmly，cool off, journal about your feelings，or talk to a friend． 37 Obey their requests．It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them．It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean．However，you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it’s cold， raining，snowing，or too hot．Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes． 38 ．Since you can forgive your friends，why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them．Do things with your parents like watching TV，or go somewhere with them． 39 to their old stories and learn from them．You will find they are your teachers in this way or another．
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents． 40 Seek help if you are being abused in any way．Parents do not have a right to harm you．
