The government in China plans to end its one-child policy and let families have two children instead.

The plan was announced on Thursday after high –level political meetings in Beijing. A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate(出生率) and strengthen the country’s labor force(勞動力).

China, with the largest population in the world, started the one –child policy in 1980. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl.

In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.

Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children. ”

At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.

Boys and girls, what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?

1.Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?

A. Because we need a larger population.

B. Because millions of people have jobs.

C. Because most families want to have a second child.

D. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.

2.How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?

A. They support the policy.

B. They don't think it is good.

C. They're very interested.

D. They're not interested any more.

3.When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues?

A. In 2015. B. In 2035. C. In 2050. D. In 2070

4.The Two-Children Policy mainly ______.

A. helps solve the problems of aging population and labor shortages.

B. doesn’t allow one couple to have two children.

C. has a bad influence on one’s mental health.

D. encourages one couple to have more than two children.

5.More couples ______ the Two-Children Policy according to the passage.

Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie--the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial:”I didn’t do it!”

Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.

Early 2017 Professor Craig E.Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承認(rèn)) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?

The children’s answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (積極的) feelings towards a confessor.

Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.

1.What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragragh 1 mean?

A. 委屈 B. 責(zé)備 C. 否認(rèn) D. 拒絕

2.Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _________.

A. kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”

B. it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth

C. it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth

D. all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act

3.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?

A. Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.

B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.

C. The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime

D. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.

4.According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?

A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.

B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.

C. Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions.

D. Parents should show positive feeling about their children’s confessions.

1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D 【解析】本文是一篇說明文。文中介紹了當(dāng)很小的孩子犯了錯誤時，家長應(yīng)該以什么樣的態(tài)度對待孩子。 1.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)"the evidence of candy written on his or her face"可知，偷吃糖果的證據(jù)寫在臉上，然而孩子卻說"I didn't do it!"顯示，孩子是在"否認(rèn)"，故答案選C。 2....

We often face the following situations in our daily life:

? The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o’clock at night.

? The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.

? The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.

Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?”

These days, many people don’t know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don’t even know their neighbor’s names! When you don’t know someone, it’s easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry, “or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don’t mean to irritate（激怒）you. Often, they don’t even know that they’re making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.

When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.

If talking doesn’t work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.

Finally, sometimes it’s a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor’s way.

1.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing paragraphs 1&2?

A. To ask some questions. B. To lead in the subjects.

C. To list some situations D. To tell some stories.

2.You should talk about the problem with your neighbors first because ________.

A. they often say hello or smile to you

B. you do not know what they are called

C. they probably don’t plan to make you unhappy

D. they will take unusual steps to solve the problem

3.When talking with your neighbors, you can make them have a good feeling by _______.

A. praising their children B. explaining the problem

C. shaking hands with them D. making friends with them

4.The best way to solve the problem sometimes is to ________.

A. ask another person for help B. turn a blind eye to it.

C. tell the story to your friend D. let your neighbor get out of the way

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Ways to deal with neighbors

B. Problems caused by neighbors

C. Situations we may face every day

D. Reasons why we become angry at neighbors
