The plan was announced on Thursday after highlevel political meetings in Beijing. A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate(出生率) and strengthen the countrys labor force(劳动力).China, with the largest population in the world, started the onechild policy in 1980. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl.In 2020, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children. ”At the end of 2020, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.Boys and girls, what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?6. Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?A. Because we need a larger population.B. Because millions of people have jobs.C. Because most families want to have a second child.D. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.7. How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?A. They dont support the policy. B. They dont think it is good.C. Theyre very interested. D. Theyre not interested any more.8. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the two-child policy?A. To ease the present labor shortage.B. To balance population development.C. To strengthen the countrys work force.D. To stop a declining(下降) birth rate.9. The Two-Children Policy mainly _.A. helps solve the problems of aging population and labor shortages.B. doesnt allow one couple to have two children.C. has a bad influence（影响）on ones mental（智力） health.D. encourages one couple to have more than two children.10.
