An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.“ Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said,” Hello, Karmen. Im Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she didnt still turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen.

In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russias population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children than their parents. I have one child and she is enough for me, said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. My husband and I both work fulltime. We cant imagine having more than one child. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. I dont want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years, said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 1824 year old women everywhere in Europe.In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child.（1）Where in the world is the population getting smaller? （2）How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have? （3）What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children? （4）Why is the population in Poland going down? （5）How does the French governme
