Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.

An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.

As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country's total working population will decrease after 2015.

China is not the only country getting old. More than 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.

However, experts said that China doesn't have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.

1.An aging society is a society that ___________.

A. less than 10% of its population is over 60

B. 10% or more of its population is over 60

C. there are four old people in a family

D. most of its population is over 60

2.If China enters an aging society, ___________.

A. there will not be enough labor resources

B. the family planning policy will be ended

C. everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people

D. China will have a highly developed social security network

3.The passage mainly talks about ___________.

A. an aging society B. Chinese social problems

C. family planning policy D. aging problem in China

“Don’t you have any toys you want to share?” I asked my son during our church’s Christmas toy drive. “What about all those things in your closet you haven’t used in years?”

"I don’t have anything,” he said. “We’re so poor.”

We’re only “poor” because we refuse to buy him the phone he wants for Christmas, which would also require a monthly texting charge.

“You’re not so poor you have nothing to give,” I found myself saying to him, a phrase my mother often used on me.

At work the next day, one of my students said, “I didn’t spell your name right,” as she handed me a Christmas gift—a box of chocolates. No wonder she hadn’t spelled it right—I had only worked at the center for a couple of months, and my name is not easy to pronounce, even in English, which is this woman’s second language.

I hadn’t expected a gift—I worked at an adult education center, where we dealt with people who struggle economically. When I was hired, my boss told me she tries to keep snacks around the center and cooks “stone soup” once a week, where whoever can bring something in does, because “You will hear growling bellies here. They give their food to the children before they themselves eat.”

And yet these people, so grateful for a second chance at getting an education, unable to sometimes even afford the gas money to come in, manage to do something for us nearly every week. Some bring in food; others do chores around the center. They help and encourage one another, and us. They give what they are able to give.

1.Who does the education center intend to help?

A. Local people out of work.

B. Adult students unable to spell.

C. Immigrants on empty stomachs.

D. Poor people eager for education.

2.What can we learn from the text?

A. Students learn to do chores at the center.

B. The boy was unwilling to share his toys.

C. The center offers chocolate as a Christmas gift.

D. The author has high expectations of her students.

3.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Never Too Poor to Give

B. Never Too Late to Learn

C. A Second Chance to Seize

D. An Unexpected Gift to Treasure
