    A group of frogs were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(坑). All the other frogs came around the pit. When they saw how d{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were dying. The two frogs wouldn't listen to their words and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. F{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, one of the frogs listened to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. Th other frog c{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the group of frogs shouted at him to give up and wait for the d{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. He jumped even harder and in the end he made it out. When he got out, the other frog asked: "Did you not hear us?" To their surprise, the frog explained to them that he couldn't hear clearly. He thought they were encouraging him the w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} time.

    Words have the power of life and death. An encouraging word spoken to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it t{#blank#}6{#/blank#} their difficulties. A destructive word to someone who is down can sometimes kill that person. So always be careful of what you say.

    It's known that China is a country with the largest population in the world. To deal with the population problem, our government d{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to have one-child policy (政策). After the policy was carried out for some time, while it did help to c{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the population growth, problems like aging(老化) also became clear. So all Chinese couples were told that they could be a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to have two children. As the one-child policy came to an end, many Chinese children, i{#blank#}4{#/blank#} you, may have a brother or sister in the future.

    But what would your life be l{#blank#}5{#/blank#}growing up with a brother or a sister?

    Having a brother or sister can keep you away from some bad feelings, such as loneliness, pressure or f{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Your brother or sister can give you something that parents can't give you. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there will be someone playing with you and sharing s{#blank#}7{#/blank#}with you. Of course, sometimes you may argue or even fight with him or her, b{#blank#}8{#/blank#} you will forgive each other soon.

    Although now the government e{#blank#}9{#/blank#} people to have more children, most young people don't want more children b{#blank#}10{#/blank#}of the pressure from work and family. Maybe it takes a period of time for people to accept the new policy.
