Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. “Please God, I cant do anything more for my son. Im at the end of my rope. Im giving the whole thing up to you.”I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just dont know what to do. Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands. ” For a moment there was silence on the other and of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me.

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 parents job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.Not all of Lins 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 ones mental (心理) health.“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that their parents dont.” 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.（1）There are _ children in Lin Xiaos family.A . threeB . fourC . fiveD . six（2）The one-child policy caused some problems except _.A . the aging populationB . labor shortagesC . the population growthD . the low birth rate（3）What does the underlined word “unique” possibly means _ in Chinese.A . 独特的B . 相同的C . 对立的D . 相反的（4）We can infer (推断) from the article that _.A .
