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(dòng)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.

A. disagree with B. agree with

C. don’t know D. hate

Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes , you must be willing to pay for them .

Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful?

Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.

When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the causes , and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.
