Newspapers in Great Britain
The population of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is over 50 million. About 30 million newspapers are sold every day. The British people, therefore, are great readers of newspapers. Many families have two or three newspapers delivered every morning. One newspaper may be delivered at the house; a member of the family may buy one at the station bookstall to read in the train as he goes to town, and someone else in the family may buy an evening newspaper later in the day.
Daily papers are those that are published daily from Monday to Saturday. There are the morning papers and the evening papers.

to deliver – доставлять;

bookstall – киоск (газетный)

I. Прочитайте и переведите текст со словарём. Thomas Robert Malthus He was born on February 13, 1766. The young Malthus was educated at home until his admission to Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1784. He earned a masters degree in 1791. In 1797, he became an Anglican pastor. And in 1818, he was selected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. His famous work, An Essay on the Principle of Population, was published in 1798. He made the prediction that population would outrun food supply, leading to a decrease in food per person. He was based on the idea that unchecked population increases at a geometric rate whereas the food supply grows at an arithmetic rate. With this assumption, only natural causes (accidents and old age), misery (war, pestilence, and above all famine), moral restraint, and vice (included infanticide, murder, contraception, and homosexuality) could stop excessive population growth. Malthus favoured moral restraint (including late marriage and sexual abstinence) as a check on population growth. However, Malthus proposed this only for the working and poor classes.
