China has announced its abolishing its one-child policy.What difference has it made,statistically speaking?

400 million births prevented

The one-child policy,officially in place since 1979,has prevented 400 million births.Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.

The majority of the decrease in China's fertility rate happened in the 1970s.It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to 2.7 in 1978.Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen to 1.7 by 2013.

21:28-baby deaths rate

Since the one-child policy was introduced,baby girls have become more likely to die than boys.

In the 1970s,according to the United Nations,60 males per 1,000 live births died under the age of one.For girls the figure was 53.In the 1980s,after the one-child policy became official,the rate for both was 36.By the 1990s,26 males per 1,000 live births died before the age of one-and 33 girls.The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1,000 live births dying and 28 girls.

1.16 boys born for every girl

Sexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China's unusual imbalance.

Gietel-Basten,associate professor in social policy at Oxford University,says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children,adding officials often turn a blind eye.It's estimated there are now 33 million more men than women in China.

4:2:1 families

With the ageing of China's population and the continuation of the one-child policy,a "4:2:1" home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparent,cared for by two working age parents,who themselves have one child.

By 2050,it's predicted that a quarter of China's population will be 65 or order.The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.

1.When was the baby deaths rate for both boys and girls equal?

A. In the 1970s. B. In the 1980s.

C. In the 1990s. D. In the 2000s.

2.What makes the one-child policy abolished accoring to the passage?

A. The decline of birth rate. B. The rise of baby deaths rate.

All of England

In fact, literary landmarks are so common in London that “blue plaques(木牌)” have been introduced to show off well-known literary sites. One of the more interesting plaques can be found at 221B Baker Street-the apartment of famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes (although we can be pretty sure that he never actually stayed there).

Outside of London, it is possible to take organized tours around the countryside where England best writers grew up. If you join a Charles Dickens or Jane Austen tour, you’ll have the unique opportunity to visit the locations of famous fictional scenes. But to truly experience literature in person, you can visit Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and watch nightly performances of his plays.

Shanghai, China

Shanghai is a really charming city, where — underneath the surface of the city — one can find some real literary treasures. One star of Shanghai literature is LU Xun, a Writer often celebrated as the father of modern Chinese literature, who spent his last nine years in the city. It’s necessary, then, for all Shanghai literary travelers to visit Lu Xun Park, which features a memorial hall dedicated to the great writer.

Another place worth visiting is the old neighborhood of poet Xu Zhimo. Xu is well known for bringing “New Wave” romanticist poetry into Chinese works. Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once stayed at his home while visiting Shanghai.

Rome, Italy

The English romantic poet John Keats once traveled to Rome in the hope that the Mediterranean air would cure his tuberculosis(肺結(jié)核). It didn’t, and Keats died within three months.

Despite the fact that Keat’s visit was a quick one, Rome has a reminder of it — the Keats-Shelley House. Keats’ former home has been transformed into a small museum, complete with a working library.

What’s more, just across the street is the Antico Caffe Greco, a cafe frequented by famous authors like Charles Dickens, Loud Byron, Henry James, Hans Christian Andersen, Many Shelley...We could go on, but you probably get the idea that this is somewhere any literary traveler has to go.

1.This passage is mainly about ________ in different places.

A. cultural introduction B. famous poets

C. scenic spots D. literary sites

2.In England, ________.

A. Shakespeare’s plays are performed anywhere

B. Sherlock Holmes once lived in London for a short time

C. blue plaques are pinned to mark the literary sites

D. June Austen’s former residence is in London

3.From the second part of the passage, we know ________.

A. Lu Xun Park is mainly made up of his former houses

B. Tagore once visited Xu Zhimo

C. Xu Zhimo created realistic Chinese poetry

D. Lu Xun spent all his lifetime in Shanghai

4.Antico Caffe Greco is ________.

A. a beautiful and grand construction

B. a museum in honor of John Keats

C. a place providing various collections of poems

D. a cafe which was visited by many authors in history

Imagine a mystery guest coming to your Thanksgiving dinner, one you have never met. Imagine this “silent guest” being a starving person from a poor country. That is what students at Mount St. Joseph University in Ohio want you to think about this Thanksgiving.

Students of the Mount's Impact Club are urging everyone to feed a “silent guest” at this year's Thanksgiving. These students have been holding fund?raisers for the World Food Programme (WFP) and trying to get people to join their “silent guest” plan.

Their idea came from the “silent guest” campaign in 1947, which asked Americans to open up their hearts and share their Thanksgiving abundance. Governor Robert Bradford of Massachusetts, whose forefather started Thanksgiving, announced the new tradition of feeding a “silent guest” at the holiday meal.

American families were asked to donate the cost of feeding their “silent guest” to a committee in Massachusetts. The “silent guest” donations from Americans led to CARE packages of food being sent to starving families overseas. This was important for many countries in Europe, who were still suffering from the destruction caused by World War Ⅱ.

The food from the “silent guest” helped keep Europe afloat until Marshall Plan to rebuild could kick in. As George Marshall said, “Food is the very basis of all reconstruction.”

The “silent guest” idea was started by an activist named Iris Gabriel. She approached Governor Bradford, with the plan and eventually governors across the US were on board. This was a giving spirit.

It is a spirit we must keep with us today because the WFP and other relief agencies are facing an incredible challenge with hunger emergencies. Fighting world hunger is no less important than it was in 1947.

That is why it's inspiring that college students are leading the campaign to bring back the “silent guest”. And you can join them by simply setting aside a place in your heart and your holiday table while donating to a charity fighting hunger.

1.What gave the students the idea of “silent guest”？

A. A historical fact. B. Their rich imagination.

C. A moving story. D. A TV programme.

2.What can we know about the “silent guest” campaign in 1947?

A. It was a worldwide campaign.

B. It helped the development of the US.

C. It was originally put forward by the WFP.

D. It contributed a lot to Europe's rebuilding.

3.What might be the spirit of the “silent guest” campaign?

A. Giving is a virtue. B. Give thanks by giving.

C. Give respect to the poor. D. Giving is better than receiving.

4.What should people do according to the “silent guest” plan?

A. Invite your friends to Thanksgiving dinner.

B. Act as a silent guest to show thanks to people.

C. Raise money for the World Food Programme.

D. Provide shelter to a silent guest on Christmas.
