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), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago. 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 health.“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that 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 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.16 .

The government chose the third Sunday in June instead and the very first Fathers day was celebrated on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington.It took some time before Fathers Day became the national holiday we know today.

On Reggies birthday, it was also the Day of Silence, in order to celebrate both of them, everyone in town would wear earplugs so that they couldnt hear anything, either.

Each new invention has brought the similar predictions. And each time, the old technologies of books, classrooms and teachers have stayed.Like teachers, educational technology comes in many forms, from wonderful to terrible. But, used properly, it now is important in schools, especially in pour areas.The UNs goals included that by 2015 all the worlds children would finish primary school. The goal has been achieved: nine out of ten children are now at school. However, the figure is not as brilliant as it sounds. Even most of the children go to school, a lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. A recent World Bank study shows, half of nine-year-old children in an African country can not read a simple word and a three-fourths can not read a simple sentence. The reason is terrible teaching. Only 7% of the teachers had the necessary knowledge and half the time the teacher was not in the classroom.Paying teachers more, in hope of better ones, is not the answer. Many methods are tried and things dont change much. Several studies suggest ed-tech can help. It seems to have an effect. But it does not mean putting computers on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them. If they do so, plenty of money is wasted. Instead, it means offering schools with software that children can use with a little help from an adult. In this way, we can get things right more often and many things can be in control.Technology can not be everything. Good traditional teachers are not obsolete, but ed-tech can help greatly-both students and teachers in their own way.27 .

He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didnt you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But its wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And thats why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.”39 .
