Too Many or Too Few? Today the most important population trends are the fast growth in the number PHAÀN NAØY LAØ PHAÙCH of elderly people and the sharp drop in the number of teenagers leaving school. The size of the elderly population is (1) (verb) because peole are living longer and 2 (adj) babies have been born. In 1911, only five percent of the UK population was older than 65. Today, the 3 (noun) is more than 15 per cent. Over the next decade the greatest 4 (noun) will be in people aged 75 and over. The drop in the number of school leavers was 5 (verb) by the fall in the birth rate 6 (preposition) 1964 and 1977. This trend is known 7 (preposition) the “demographic time bomb” – because demographers knew that, once the birth rate fell, there was 8 (determiner) way to stop it 9 (verb) an explosive effect on the economy and on society 16 years later. However, the impact may 10 (adverb) be a short – term According to some forecaster the UK’s birth rate may soon become one of the highest in western Europe. Companies have to 11 (verb) into account the age of the population when they are deciding what goods to produce and when they are recruiting staff. In Britain and most of Europe, the birth rate fell between the early 1960 s and the mid 1970 s. That 12 (verb) that, by the second half of the 1980 s, the number of teenagers leaving school and looking for jobs each year fell sharply. In 1986, there were 6.2 million people 13 (adj) between 16 and 24 in the labour force. By the turn of the century, this is likely to 14 (verb) fallen to 4.9 million. That means that companies who generally recruited many of their staff 15 (adverb) from school have had to think of other ways of attracting workers. At the other end of the age scale is the significant increase in the number of elderly people in the population. Over the 16 (adjective) ten years, several companies have 17 (verb) up which specialize 18 (preposition) building “sheltered accommodation” for elderly people – groups of houses or flats where there is a warden on 19 (noun) to give help. In the 1970 s, these companies were virtually unknown. They have come into 20 (noun) because of demographic change. B. Read the article below for mutiple – choice questions JOURNEY TO THE FRONT LINES The following morning the exodus began. Huoy and I packed the mosquito net, the mats and the clothes into bundles once again and attached them to the shoulderboard. Another journey. The Khmer Rouge said we were going to the “front lines”, but didn’t explain what or where the front lines were. For all we knew we were going to the moon. PHAÀN NAØY LAØ PHAÙCH Around us, the other inhabitants emerged from the huts they had built of thatch and reeds and pieces of plastic, and started down the paths. It was a cold morning. The “new” people wrapped their kramas around their shoulders to stay warm. Those who didn’t have kramas or extra shirts shivered and rubbed themselves with their hands. We walked down the paths towards the railroad tracks, but not everybody in Phum Chleav was lucky enough to leave. Through the open door of a hut, we saw an old lady lying unconcious against a wall. Unable to walk and too heavy to carry, she had been left behind. As we climbed onto the railroad tracks, which was elevated a few feet above the nearby ground and was the only dry place in the landscape, we looked around at the pitiful spectacle. And then I understood why the rice fields had been so empty of workess. It was as if all the patients I had visited in their huts had been multiplied many time over and put in a parade before our eyes. People with shrunken faces and haunted vacant eyes, with legs and arms as thin as sticks or else puffy and bloated with edema. Leaning on canes or on relatives’ shoulders, or alone, they walked with that terrible economy of movement that signals the approach of starvation. As Huoy and I watched, a thin, scrawny, midde – aged woman put down the end of the hammock she had been carrying, slung under a bamboo pole. The man inside the hammock called out weakly, “Sweet, sweet, bring me with you. Don’t leave me behind”. But the women shook her head and trudged off down the railrood track. After a moment of indecision the man carrying the other end of the hammock abandoned it and hobbled off after her. No one went to the hammock to help the man. I didn’t. Even if I could have helped him, there was no way that Huoy and I could have carried him. If we tried to carry him, we probably wouldn’t make it ourselves. What made it worse, what made it more appalling was that somehow it was ordinary. You heard the cries of the weak but you didn’t pay much attention because you were concentrating on yourself and your own survival. We had all seen death before. In the exodus from Phum Chleav, the atrocious had become normal. How fast man changes! How fast he sheds his outer humannity and becomes the animal inside! In the old days – only six months before – nobody abandoned the dead. Now everything had changed – not just our burial customs but also all our beliefs and behaviour. We had no more monks and no religious services. We had no more family obligations. Children left their parents to die, wives abandoned their PHAÀN NAØY LAØ PHAÙCH husbands and the strongest kept on moving. The Khmer Rouge had taken away everything that held our culture together, and this was the result: a parade of the selfish and dying. Society was falling apart. 1.
