30、ussionu Is it possible for a writer to start writing on impulse and then catch some good ideas flashing into his mind during the process of writing? Cite examples to illustrate your point. The answer is yes. But the question is open to discussion. Impulse can not stay long without careful thinking.

31、Writing is also an art and art is cultivated.  u Do you think it is true a good story is not written but rewritten? Why or why not? In most cases a good story is rewritten. But there are writers who think very carefully about the story to be written before they start writing. Careful thinking a

48、hold(8) the unfathomable variable(9) peaks and troughs1. The big surprise of the past twenty years is that in not one country did fertility stop falling when it reached the replacement rate 2.1 children per woman.(过去二十年最令人吃惊的事情是，没有一个国家当其出生率降到人口置换率水平时每个妇女生育2.1个子女就停止下降了。)Note the inversion in the sent

49、ence.Fertility here refers to fertility rate.2. World population was growing by two percent a year in the 1960s; the rate is now down to one percent a year, and if the patterns of the past century don't change radically, it will head into negative numbers.(在六十年代，世界人口每年只增长2%，现在这一比率已降到每年1%。而且要不是上个

50、世纪19世纪生育模式发生了根本性变化的话，这将会导致人口的负增长。)Head: move inevitably toward something.    e.g. The economy is heading for recession.3. As long ago as September of 1974 Scientific American published a special issue on population that described what demographers had begun calling the "demograph

51、ic transition" from traditional high rates of birth and death to the low ones of modern society.(早在1974年9月，美国科学杂志发行了一份人口研究专号，描述了人口学家所称的"人口过渡期"的情况，即从传统的高出生率和死亡率转到现代社会的低出生率和死亡率。)Demographic: pertaining to the statistical data of a population. esp.those showing average age, income, educa

52、tion, etc.4. The experts' assumption that population would stabilize because birth rates would stop falling once they matched the new low death rates has not been borne out by experience.(专家们推测出生率一旦同新的低死亡率达到平衡后就会停止衰减，所以人口能够保持稳定，这种推测没有得到经验的证实。)Bear something out: support or confirm something.e.g.

53、 This assumption is not borne out by any evidence.5. In the United States fertility has been falling for 200 years (except for the blip of the Baby Boom3), but partly because of immigration it has stayed only slightly below replacement level for twenty-five years.(美国二百多年来生育率一直在下降除了二战过后出现的短暂的生育高峰期，但是

54、在某种程度上受移民的影响，在25年里它只略低于人口置换率。)Blip: an unexpected, minor, and typically temporary deviation form a general trend.    e.g. The Chancellor dismissed the rising inflation as a temporary blip.6. World population can be stable only if fertility rates around the world average out to 2.1 chi

55、ldren per woman.(只有世界范围内的出生率能达到平均每位妇女生育2.1个子女，世界人口才可能稳定。)Average our at/to: result in an average figure at.    e.g. The cost should average out at 6 pounds per page.7. Much bigger changes in share are possible for smaller groups if they can maintain their difference from the average f

56、or a long period of time.(对于一些较小的人口群体来说，如果他们长时间内与平均出生率保持差距，那么他们所占世界人口的份额可能会产生更大的变化。)Share: a part or portion in a large amounte.g. We gave them all the chance to have a share in the profits.8. If they do, and fertility rates start to climb, fertility is no more likely to stop climbing at an average rate of 2.1 children per woman than it was to stop falling at 2.1 on the way down.(如果是这样，那么出生率就会攀升。而且在达到每位女性生育2.1个子女这样一个平均水平后会停止上升的可能性并不比降到2.1后会停止下降的可能性大多少。)Note the structure "no more . than".
