China has announced it's abolishing (废除) its one-child policy．What difference has it made，statistically(统计学上) speaking?

400 million births prevented

The one-child policy, officially in place since 1979，has prevented 400million births．Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.

The majority of the decrease in China's fertility rate (生育率) happened in the 1970s．It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to 2.7 in 1978．Despite the one-child policy the rate only fell to 1.7 by 2013.

21：28 — baby death rate

Since the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls have become more likely to die than boys.

In the 1970s, 60males per 1000 live births died under the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for boys and girls was equal--- both 36. By the 1990s，26 males per 1000 live births died before the age of one--- and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1000 live births died and 28 girls.

By 2050，it's predicted that 25% China's population will be 65 or older．The predicted decline in the number of people of working age has made the government to drop the one-child policy．

We didn’t have a tree. My dad had as much pride as anybody, I suppose, so he wouldn’t just say that we couldn’t afford one. When I mentioned it, my mother said that we weren’t going to have one this year, that we couldn’t afford one, and even if we could---it was stupid to mess up your house with a dead tree.

About three days before Christmas, I was out collecting for my paper route. It was fairly late---long after dark---it was snowing and very cold. I went to the apartment building to try to catch a customer who hadn’t paid me for nearly two months---she owed me seven dollars. Much to my surprise, she was home. She invited me in and not only did she pay me, she also gave me a dollar tip.

C．pictures

D．analysis

On the way home, I walked past a Christmas tree shop and the idea hit me. The selection wasn’t very good because it was so close to the holiday, but there was this one real nice tree. It had been a very expensive tree and no one had bought it. Now it was so close to Christmas that the man was afraid no one would buy.

He wanted ten dollars for it, but when I told him what I had, he said he might sell it for that. I really didn’t want to spend the whole money on the tree, but it was so pretty that I finally agreed. I dragged it all the way home--- about a mile, I think---and I tried hard not to damage it. I arrived at home at last. My heart was bursting as I announced that I had a surprise.

“Where did you get that tree?” my mother exclaimed. But it wasn’t the kind of exclamation that indicates pleasure. After she knew the truth, she said that I was going to end up in the poor house because I believe in stupid things like Christmas trees. My mother had never talked to me like that before and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. 4. Why did the writer’s mother refuse a tree?

A. Because she couldn’t afford a dead Christmas tree. B. Because she thought it was unreasonable to have a tree. C. Because she was much so proud that she felt better. D. Because she thought she wasn’t very proud of herself. 5. How did the writer feel when he got home? A. Upset and calm. B. Anxious and happy. C. Proud and excited. D. Sorry and confused. 6. What made the shop owner sell the tree? A. His pity on the writer’s situation B. His desire of offering help C. His worry of keeping the tree. D. His kindness of helping others

7. What the writer’s mother said in the last paragraph means she was ______. A. pleased B. angry

C. doubtful D. embarrassed

C

When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “ I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when you need help. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.

8. According to the passage, winners . A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves rather that others
