27、The universal two-child policy(政策) will possibly add about 2.5 million newborn babies every year, said a professor of Peking University. According to a statement made on Thursday by the Chinese government, about 90 million couples will be able to have a second child.

The universal two-child policy will tell us the country's aging trend and if no action is taken to change this situation, there will be labor shortages in the future because of the low birth rate in recent years. Low birth rate means less adults of working age, which will cause some danger for our country’s development and the future of us.

However, before the new policy was made, the one-child policy influenced Chinese people for a long time. It was put forward in the 1970s aimed at slowing the fast population growth caused by a baby boom (爆炸)after the country recovered from three years of natural disasters in the early 1960s. Besides, with the only child becoming the center of a family, the child may be too spoiled, which can be seen in many news reported nowadays. Still, if the only child dies before his parents, it's hard to imagine how the parents will spend the rest of their lives, especially when they are old.

In late 2013, the government first relaxed the family planning policy, allowing couples to have a second child in situations where one spouse was an only child. However, as of June, only 1.5 million of the 11 million couples had decided to have a second child.

"This policy change could have a good influence on our society, and it will help to develop the economy in our country, but any such influence can only appear over the long term," Atsi Sheth, an director of Moody’s, said in a report on Friday.

【1】How many newborn babies may be added in two years after the two-child policy?

A. 2.5 million

B. 1.5 million

C. 5million

【2】The following are the influences of low birth rate EXCEPT_____

A. There will be labor shortages.

B. There will be more adults of working age.

C. It will cause some danger to our country’s development.

【3】How long did the one-child policy last for?

A. About 35 years

B. about 45years

C. about 55years

【4】Why should we stop the one-child policy?

A. Because the parents may spend the rest of their lives to raise the only child.

B. Because the only child will become the center of the family and be spoiled.

C. Because it will cause the labor shortage.

【5】When did the government completely relax the family planning policy?

A. In 2013 B. In 2014   C. In 2015

We can’t remember clearly when we started to take our mobiles to dinner table. This happens a lot, e【1】when we eat out.
