The government in China plans to end its one﹣child policy （政策） and let families have two children instead．The plan was meant to balance （平衡） population development and stop a falling birth rate （出生率）．
China started the one﹣child policy in the 1980s．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 population expert，explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy．"Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child，"he said．
At the end of 2014，China had a population of 1.37billion people．But the labor market population will drop in 35years．That is to say，the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050．With the"two children"policy，an increase in births can solve this problem．
66．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．
67．How do most young people in the cities react to the"two children"policy？
A．They support the policy．B．They don't think it is good．
C．They're very interested．D．They're not interested．
68．When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one﹣child policy continues？
A．In 2025．B．In 2035．C．In 2050．D．In 2070．
69．What's the correct time order of the following events？
①．The"two children"policy was announced．
②．China had a population of 1.37billion people．
③．Some families in the countryside could have two children．
④．Families could have two children if one parent was an only child．
A．③④②①B．②①④③C．④③②①D．③①④②
70．What may happen after we have the"two children"policy？

B．The labor market population will drop．
C．Almost every family will have a second child．
D．The population development will be balanced．
Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean． Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy． They liked doing different things． Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball， football， and any other sport imaginable． Jack preferred to draw， paint， or build sandcastles（沙堡）．
Frank didn't understand why Jack would rather do artistic things than play ball． He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together． That was when Jack's idea hatched． He would show Frank what doing things together looked like!
After Jack finished creating a special sandcastle with stairs，towers and walls，he took pictures of it．Then he painted colorful posters featuring（突出）his sandcastle and the question， "Can you top this？" He hung his posters everywhere in town， announcing his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry﹣all ages welcome．
When Frank saw poster， he not so nicely told Jack that no one would come． Still， shortly after sunrise on Saturday， Jack was on the beach digging in the sand． By mid﹣morning， four kids were sculpting（雕塑）the sand alongside him． By noon the number had increased a lot．
After Frank came back from his ball game， he went to check how his brother's plan turned out． He couldn't believe what he saw． At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles， and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach．
"I guess you've proved me wrong，" Frank said． "You should make this sandcastle day a yearly tradition!" Handing Frank a shovel（铲子）with smile， Jack got started together with his brother on their super creation in the sand．

All over the world，thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism．People travel to watch monkey shows，hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins．It might look like fun，but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again．
The World Animal Protection（WAP）says that up to 550，000 wild animals are exposed（暴露）to ill treatment around the world；in Cambodia，for example，it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather．This is getting attention﹣over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places．However，some people argue that animal tourism isn't always as bad as it seems．So what do you think？

Libraries |

All Aboard the Library A school in London didn't have space for a library inside the building．However，everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library．So the head of the school，Graham Blake decided to park an old bus on the school car park and changed it into a library．Pupils helped to paint the bus，and after eight months，the new library was ready． |

A neighbor，Julie Brown，saw it all happen．"The dog went onto an icy lake．All of a sudden，it started to go under．There were crowds of people around，and they were all shouting and screaming．Before I knew it，the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice．I can't begin to imagine how cold it was．Everyone was very nervous，but he was as cool as a cucumber﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣he just crawled back out，put the dog on its lead，and went home．"

I'm David．Long ago I came to the city near my hometown to find a job．I met all kinds of
difficulties and I used up all my money soon．
It was dark outside one day．I got on a bus quietly．Suddenly，a passenger cries in a loud voice，
﹣Someone has stolen my money!I felt nervous，because his money was in my hand．Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station，but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home．The whole bus was very noisy．The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights．At that time，one passenger said，﹣Turn off the lights and give the thief （小偷） a chance to take out the money．‖Then the bus got dark．When I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not，the lights were turned off again．I became even more nervous．The lights were turned on again but they got the same result．Then the passengers fell into an open discussion．Later，someone said﹣give him the last chance!‖I felt awakened （醒悟的） and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again．
For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances．When the first and second chances come，you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act．When the third chance comes，you should know clearly what you should do．

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year．Networks have been part of our life．Probably everyone with a portable device （移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it，while they are having a coffee，on a train，in a shopping mall or at a hotel．However，is this kind of public WiFi network safe？
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption （加密）methods are used．Therefore，they are safer than others．But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected，including addresses，emails，birth dates，phone numbers，passwords and so on．These open WiFi networks are really not safe，because it is very easy for hackers （黑客） to break into the operating system and get people's private information．
Most smartphones and laptops，by themselves，search and connect to WiFi networks．They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before．Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks．When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real，hackers can easily steal their private information．
So next time，when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them．
