 a billion people, two-thirds of them women, will enter the 21st century unable to read a book or write their names,” warns UNICEF in a new report, “The State of the World’s Children 1999.”

UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, points out that the illiterate “live in more desperate poverty and poorer health” than those who can read and write. The shocking number — 1 billion people illiterate — generated frightening headlines in major newspapers.

Poverty in the poorest countries is indeed something that ought to concern all of us, especially in a season when we pause to remember the less fortunate. But as usual, there’s more to this striking statistic than UNICEF tells us. Consider three points.

The Good News. Bad news sells, news watchers tell us. And 1 billion people unable to read and write — about 16 percent of world population — is certainly bad news. But let’s deconstruct the news.

First, UNICEF’s actual number is 855 million, a figure that did not appear in major newspapers. That’s still a large number, but it is 15 percent less than 1 billion.

aksik [14]

Answer:

The line which indicates that good times do not last forever is:

Nothing gold can stay

Explanation:

Robert Frost in his poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" talks about the inevitability of the things. He illustrates this by using the example of the crops which grow, ripe and then are cut down. Life is just the same as the crops which have to end someday or another. He adds that even the good and beautiful thing will see their end someday.
