Everyone knows "the one-child policy". It is a(n) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}to control (控制) population. Chinese government {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to control the increasing population at first. Chinese people understood that and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}that policy for about 40 years.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}，as time goes by, a problem appears in our society. China is now getting into an aging {#blank#}5{#/blank#}There will be more and more old people in the following years. But the society won't have {#blank#}6{#/blank#}doctors, or nurses to look after them.

    That's why Chinese {#blank#}7{#/blank#} began "the two-child policy" on 1st January 2016. It {#blank#}8{#/blank#} each family to have two children. The government thinks it can help stop our country from entering the aging society.

    Last year I was 14 years old. I had an " enemy", a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Day by day her list grew: I was very thin; I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}; I sometimes didn't respect the teachers, I talked too much: I was too proud, and so on. At last, I couldn't stand it. I cried and{#blank#}2{#/blank#}to my father. He listened to me quietly. Then he asked," Alfred, are the things she says true or not? Didn't you ever wonder what you are really{#blank#}3{#/blank#}? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she{#blank#}4{#/blank#}and find out the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things you heard."

    I did {#blank#}5{#/blank#}my father told. To my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin）, but a large number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

    I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. "It's just the case for you, he said," you know better than anyone the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}about yourself But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears, listen to them all, but hear the fact only and do what you know is right thing{#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    In my life. I've never {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a better piece of advice. Thanks for the shortcomings that someone has pointed out for us. They can make us know ourselves more and improve us{#blank#}10{#/blank#}as we grow up.

Look at the lost and found case. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that? It's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} eraser. I think(想) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Tony's eraser. And I lost a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of keys. If (如果) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} find the keys, please call me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} 555-6741. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} name is Emily White. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you!

    We have moved to a new flat in Water Bay. David, the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} man, and his helpers have moved our furniture to our new flat and put the things in the new flat. The rooms are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, but they are comfortable. There are more rooms here than in our old flat. It is good because now I have my own room. In the old flat, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my sister.

    My bedroom is my favourite room in our flat. I can do everything in it. I can {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my radio or play CDs. I can play games on my computer and send my friends e-mails.

    I also like the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} because I love helping my mother cook our meals. My mother is a very good cook and is teaching me how to make apple pies. She lived in England{#blank#}6{#/blank#} she was a girl, and she can cook English food. It's delicious.
