For thousands of years, poetry has been the favorite type of literature(文学) for many in China. And Chinese poetry is just like the best prize in this famous culture’s literary treasure house.”

The Chinese government has ended 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(劳动力).
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 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?
75. Why does the government start two-child policy?
A. Because we need a larger population.
B. Because most families want to have a second child.
C. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
D. Because there are few people in the country.
76.With one-child policy, which family can have a second child?
A. The family which is very poor.
B. The family whose first born child is a girl in the countryside.
C. The family in which one of the couple isn’t an only child.
D. The family whose first born child is a boy in the countryside.
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.
77. 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
78. What may happen after we have the “two-child” policy?
A. There will be more old people.
B. Almost every family will have two children.
C. The labor market population will drop.
D. The population development will be balanced.

On April 2,2017,a big Chinese ship caught the eyes of the whole world. China's first homemade aircraft carrier hit the water in Dalian, Liaoning. It is the largest and best ship China has ever built.
The new ship is China’s second aircraft carrier and it has no name yet. China’s first carrier is called Liaoning,which was bought from Ukraine and later rebuilt by China. The new carrier was designed in China and building began in 2013.It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide. That is a bit larger than three soccer fields. The ship must be completed at sea, which will take several years.
An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea. It can carry planes and troops to war. Planes fly from and land back on it, and soldiers work and live on it. Thanks to carriers, planes can fight along with warships.They allow planes to take off and land from anywhere in the ocean around the world,but an aircraft carrier is very hard and expensive to build. It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials. For example, a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60,000 tons of steel! It also uses complex(综合的)technologies, including radar, electrics, mechanics and weapons. Finally, it takes years to build.
Today, not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one.
When the new carrier is finished, China will become the seventh country in the world that
can build an aircraft carrier by itself, after the US, Russia, UK, France, Italy and Spain.
79. When did China start to build the second aircraft carrier?
A. in 2017 B. In 2013 C. in 2015 D. in 2016
80. How many countries can build an aircraft carrier by itself in the world?
A. six B. eight C. seven D. five

There was a tree in my garden. One day, two birds came to the tree and built a house for their three new-born (新生的) babies.
One day, I heard the sound of the little birds. I ran to the garden and found two babies eating food on the ground. I thought they dropped off their house, so I decided to help them get back to their house. At that time, the father bird and the mother bird came back. They had some food for the third baby. They put the food on the ground, far away from the third baby. To get the food, the baby had to fly to it.
The third baby was hungry, but she was afraid to get out of the house. To my surprise, the father bird and the mother bird just stood there and did nothing.
After about ten minutes, the third baby bird didn't have any other choice. She slowly went to the border (边 缘) of the house and began to fly. She flew off from the house. Finally, the third baby bird landed safely on the ground and found the food.
These birds taught me a lesson:if you want your food, you will have to learn to fly.
