语法填空。What was the population of China in 2023? There were about 1.42 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (billion) people in China in 2023. It was almost one fifth of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} world's population. However, the growth rate (增长率) of newborns in China is slowing down year by year,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} more and more young people don't want to get married or have children now. How to increase the population growth is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} big problem.
In the past, we had to control (控制) the population growth. Now it is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(complete) different. People no longer need {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(worry) about food and clothing, and population aging (人口老龄化) is getting more and more serious. In order {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(solve) this problem, the government carried out the three- child policy (三孩政策) in 2021. We should make people {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(know) that young people are the future of our country. Just as the old saying goes, "A stronger teenager (青少年) makes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} stronger country. " So I think every couple should have at least one {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(child). In this way maybe the problem of population aging will be improved in the future.
