2016届江苏连云港新海实验中学中考第二次模拟考试英语试卷
Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent's job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.
Not all of Lin's classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), The one – child policy has been carried out in China for about forty years. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.
The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).
The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one's mental (心理) health.
“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that their parents don't.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.
Liu Fang, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with her parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”
But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.
Nowadays, more and more children spend too much time playing mobile phones. It makes parents feel worried. In order to get the children out of the room, the community is going to organize a camp this summer.
Camper Handbook We've created a handbook you can download here http://www. summercamp.com. It answers many of the questions parents and campers have about DEC Summer Camp. As you've already signed up your kid for this camp, you can check your email box for a copy of the handbook as well. Please review it and get in touch with us at 569-985 if you have questions. Camp houses About ten people share a wood house, including a coach and a camp volunteer. A general bath house is within 200 feet of each house. The size of a house may not be the same. Camp Rules 1. Money: Spending money is NOT needed at camp with no place to spend it. Money and all valuables should remain at home. 2. Electronics (电子产品): Electronics like mobile phones and computer games are NOT allowed at camp. These will be taken away and returned to the camper when the camp ends. Sample Schedules Generally, campers get up at 7:00 am and have an early bird activity like swimming or fishing. After breakfast, there are activities until lunch. These may include environmental lessons or biology experiments. A wildlife biologist may guide the campers. After lunch, there are more activities, such as hiking (徒步), boating, or field trips. Taking a night walk, star watching, playing games and listening to stories around a campfire (营火) are among the choices for the night. |
