    Driverless(无人驾驶的)technology is quickly progressing with many cars being tested on roads around the world.Now, researchers in Singapore are testing a self-driving scooter,which has four wheels and a seat.It can move at a speed of up to six kilometers an hour.Researchers said the scooter was built with materials that did not cost much money.

    The scooter was developed by the National University of Singapore.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)also took part in the project.It was designed(设计)for people who cannot,should not or do not want to drive a car.It could help older adults,the disabled or people who are too young to drive.

Marcelo Ang,a researcher at the National University of Singapore,says the scooter can be especially useful for people who use wireless devices(无线设备)while walking on city streets,because there is a sensors(探测器)in it. “I'm sure you have experienced people who almost run into you while using their phones on the street.Would it be so nice to drive the scooter without worrying about the safety?”he says.Besides,developers of the scooter say it can work together with ride—sharing services to make trips completely easy and safe.

The researchers hope the scooter will reduce the need for cars,which can lower pollution and reduce accidents.

    Marcelo Ang says the scooter has completed many successful tests at the university.Kevin Xiangyu Hui,a university student.tested the scooter and said he found the ride was very smooth and safe.“When I sat on this machine.I felt really relaxed and it was really cool.”The scooter has yet to complete lots of road tests so it is not available to buy at present.

    The government in China ended his one-child policy and let families have two children instead in 2015.

    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 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(反应) 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 need of labor by the year 2050. With the 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 sister?

My good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. He moved to Canada from Mexico when he was a baby, but his parents tried to follow some of the Mexican traditions. At his party, I saw my first pinata (彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! 

Carlos's birthday party got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. 

Do you know that in Vietnam, everyone's birthday is on the same day? Kids do not celebrate on birthdays. Instead, on New Year's Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes (信封) with lucky money in them. What a great way to celebrate birthdays! 

In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now "unlock the door to their future life". 

In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults (成年人) pull children's ears—one pull for each year. In Denmark, a flag flies outside the window of a house where a child is having a birthday. When the child is asleep, adults put presents all around the child's bed.
