I have a big file and will just post a lite piece of it: 

```
World population in thousands
Source: United Nations, DEMOBASE

Country/ISO country code/UN Code/Population 1950/Population 2012
----------------------------------------------------------------
Afghanistan/AF/4/8151/33397
Albania/AL/8/1215/3227
Algeria/DZ/12/8753/36486
American Samoa/AS/16/19/71
Andorra/AD/20/6/88

```

My question is how do I read the 5 first rows, just the information before the information about the countries begin. 

I tried someting like: 

```
file=open("wordpop.txt","r")
for i in range[0:5]:
    rows = file.read()
print(rows)

```
