I am a middle school student. There are a lot of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(规定) in my house. I have to study harder than before. My parents are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(严格) with me. I'm not allowed to be late for school or stay up. I can't get my ears {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(穿孔). They are always worried about my {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(安全). I can't go out with my friends at night. I am not allowed to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(选择) my own clothes. I have some {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(业余爱好). But my parents think these can get in the way of my schoolwork. I have always wanted to be a professional {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(赛跑动员) when I grow up. However, my parents won't allow me to train so much. They have always taught me how important it is to study at school and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(进入) university. I know my parents care about me. But I think I should be allowed to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(决定) for myself. Only then will I have a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(机会) to achieve my dream.

    In the past, people worried a lot about the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(增长) of the world population {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(然而), there is a new {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(问题) at present. That is a too low {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(出生) rate in the past ten years. This happens in both developed and developing countries. How does this happen? There are some {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(原因): Firstly, many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(政府) support the family planning policy to reduce the population growth, and most of them have made great progress(进步) . Secondly, more people get {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(结婚) late. They want to succeed in business and have little time to think about marriage. Thirdly, many couples like to stay in a two-person world. They don't want to have {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(宝宝) . Lastly, more women go out to have higher education or to do more important work. They would rather go to work than have children. The countries with {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(更少) births than deaths could face a serious shortage(短缺) of young workers in the future. They must think of ways to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(解决) it.
