   has been bound to the planet on which he originated and
   developed. Now he had the capability to leave that planet S1._______
   and move out into the universe to those worlds which he
   has known previously only directly. Men have explored S2._______
   parts of the moon, put spaceships in orbit around another
   planet and possibly within the decade will land into another S3._______
   planet and explore it. Can we be too bold as to S4._______
   suggest that we may be able to colonize other planet S5._______
   within the not - too - distant future ? Some have advocated
   such a procedure as a solution to the population
   problem: ship the excess people off to the moon. But
   we must keep in head the billions of dollars we might S6._______
   spend in carrying out the project. To maintain the
   earth's population at its present level. we would have
   to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of
   every day of the year.
   Why are we spending so little money on space S7._______

   When you start talking about good and bad manners

   people just cannot agree what they mean. We asked a

   well-mannered person on the way they occupied the S1._______
   space around them—for example, when such a person
   walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of S2._______
   others. Such people never bump into other people.

   more a question of civilized behavior as good manners. S3._______
   Instead, this other person told us a story, it he S4._______
   said was quite well known, about an American who
   had been invited to an Arab meal at one of the countries S5._______
   of the Middle East. The American hasn't been S6._______
   told very much about the kind of food he might
   expect. If he had known about American food, he S7._______
   might have behaved better.
   Immediately before him was a very flat piece of
   bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin (餐巾). S8._______
   Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that it
   falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been S9._______
   watching, said of nothing, but immediately copied S10._______
   the action of his guest.
   And that, said this second person, was a fine
   example of good manners.

   deaths in Europe's crowded cities were caused by the S3. ________

   through the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1950s, the
   introduction of antibiotics (抗菌素) strengthened the

   to be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers S6. ________
   declared victory and withdrew.

   infections and deaths started to pick up again around the
   world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came back; in S8. ________
   many places where it had never been away, it grew better. S9. ________
   The World Health Organization estimates that 1.7
   billion people (a third of the earth's population) suffer
   from tuberculosis. Even when the infection rate was
   falling, population growth kept the number of clinical
   cases more or less constantly at 8 million a year. Around S10. ________
