Unit 1 What is the matter？阅读文章
China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one-child policy (政策) before. When it was carried out for some time, many people not only saw its advantages but also disadvantages.
From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good. First of all, two-child policy is the gift for the only child (独生子). For some families, maybe the parents are an only child and they also can have an only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marries an only child, the burden(负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two old couples. Usually, it's a little difficult for a young couple to look after two old couples. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.
All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of the present and the future.

Unit 3 Could you please clean your room？阅读文章
Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets
to help them develop good habits. But some parents are
strongly against the idea. They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂事). They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally (同等地) important role in developing the character of students. It is good to give students such tasks, because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years, some parents will make a mountain out of a molehill when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some will blame the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools；some will even challenge the schools' teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students' best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students' minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students' experiences more meaningful in schools.

the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel
written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling
books in history, it has been sold as many as 200
million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes (撞击) into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions—in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.
“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic (品质)goes away as time flies,” he says.

Unit 10 I've had this bike for three years阅读文章
Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead
of driving. The bike that the service
company provides has GPS or
Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can
be easily unlocked with a
smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to
borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.
In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?
At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.
Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.
