There are a number of reasons for the change in policy. The change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate and strengthen the countrys labor(劳动力) force.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（反应） 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 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 we need to strengthen the countrys labor force.（2）How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?A . They support the policy.B . They dont think it is good.C . Theyre very interested.D . Theyre not interested any more.（3）When will our country be in great need 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 . doesnt allow one couple to have two children.C . has a bad influence on ones mental health.D . encourages one couple to have more than two children.14. （25分）Dear Laura,Thanks for your message. Yes, Im having a great time on my exchange program in France. Its even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldnt believe how quickly my French has improved! Im very comfortable speakingFrench now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesnt bother me like it used to. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home. For example, youre not supposed to put your bread on your plate. Youre supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now Im used to it. Youre not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork). Another thing is that it is very rude to say youre full. If you dont want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, its rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands ,but not your elbows, on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but Im gradually getting used to things and dont find them so strange any more. Ill write soon and tell you more about life in France.
