　　“Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream,” some scientists say.

　　Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

　Most people began to count in tens because they had ten fingers on their hands. But in some countries, people counted on one hand and used the three parts of each of their four fingers. So they counted in twelves, not in tens.

　　It isn't strictly true that one half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. It is one-third that is very rich and two-thirds that are very poor.

　　People in the rich countries don't understand the great difference between them and those in the poorer countries. A very simple example is that a dog or a cat in north America eats better than a child in the poorer countries. A fisherman in South America may be catching fish which is processed into pet food, and his own children are not getting enough to eat for their bodies to grow properly.

　　Although a lot of the world's natural resources like oil come from these poorer countries, people in the richer countries are using about sixty times as much of these resources as people in Asia or Africa. And it's the richer countries that decide what kind of prices they are ready to pay for these resources. And the prices the richer countries get for their own exports, however, are always rising. So they are getting richer and richer and the poorer countries are getting poorer.

(1) ________ of the world is very rich and ________ very poor.

A．One half, the other half is

B．One-third, two-thirds are

C．One-four, three-fourths are

[　　]

A．his own pet food

B．pet food for poor countries

C．pet food for richer countries

(3) A lot of the world's natural resources come from ________.

[　　]

A．richer countries in Africa
