They often act in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests.Autism is more often seen in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying DNA and possible environmental influences.Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis(确诊) of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age.“At six months of age, when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated place, the babys head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. But that does not mean that the baby is going to have autism. It does mean the baby needs to have some exercises to help their body get stronger. And when the babies strengthen their bodies, they are better able to play with toys and also with people, which will help them have better outcomes.”By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be very small and their children might be missed during a short health exam.“Its important for parents to pay attention to their childrens development, and if they care about a childs development, they should listen to experts.”The earlier parents notice delays, she says, the sooner they can begin simple things that may help improve their childrens development. For example, they can talk to the children about what they are doing, give opinions when the children show them something, and play simple games that keep the childrens attention.（1）Whats the best title of the passage?

But a TV show, Letter Alive(见字如面), is bringing back this old habit.Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, its just one person walking up to a microphone（麦克风）and reading a letter.The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode(集), they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.Every letter opens another world for us, according to Guan Zhengwen, the director（导演）of the TV show. It seems that we can experience（经历）the real lives and feelings of the writers. Since its first episode on Dec.5, Letter Alive has been widely praised（赞扬）. Many audiences(观众) said that they really loved this kind of TV show.Besides（除之外）Letter Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received（接受）by Chinese audiences. They include(包括) Chinese Poetry Conference, a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.

In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out onechild policy （政 策）before. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.From 2016, twochild policy is put into effect. In my opinion, twochild policy is good. First of all, twochild policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marry an only child girl, the burden（负担）on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, twochild policy can guarantee （保证） the number of Chinese population.All in all, onechild policy has been out of date. And twochild policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of nowadays （现在）and the future.（1）Which country has the largest population in the world? A . AmericaB . BritainC . ChinaD .
