Wind power is a very clean source of energy． This is how wind power works． Wind makes windmills spin （旋转）． When the windmills spin， they make electricity． Then we can use the electricity．
A lot of people think that wind power is new， but that's not true．For thousands of years， people have used wind to sail boats and move water． We still do those things today， but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity．
Wind power is a very popular source of energy． Most people think that we should use it more and more． First of all， it's clean． Windmills don't pollute the environment at all． Second， we can use wind power forever． After all， we will always have wind． Also， wind power is cheap， and it's getting even cheaper．

However， there are real problems with windmills． One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly． This is a problem for people， because windmills are often in very pretty areas． Also， wind doesn't blow all the time， so we can't use wind power all the time． Finally， windmills are noisy．
Wind power is becoming more and more common． Right now， more than 80 countries use wind power． About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind． For some countries， that number is a lot higher． Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity．

Rupert Isaacson was born in Africa， and grew up in London and in the English countryside， where he discovered his love of horses． Because he grew up hearing so many fascinating memories about Africa from his parents， he went there and lived with the people called The Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert．
By the year 2000， Rupert was already working as a reporter， writing articles and guidebooks about Africa and India． He met his wife Kristin in India． Today， they live with their son， Rowan， in the US． But Rupert faced the greatest challenge of his life when， at the age of two， Rowan was diagnosed （诊断） with an illness that influenced his ability to communicate with others．

The population of the world continues to increase， but in some areas the population is falling．This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe． In Russia， the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's 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 full﹣time． We can't imagine having more than one child． "Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all． "I don't 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 18﹣24 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 government encourage people to have larger families now？
