China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government decides to implemented one-child policy. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages. Thus, people argue that two-child policy should be put into effect.

Put aside the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marry with an only child girl accidentally, the burden on their child and his wife is unimaginable heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two old couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult; if the pressure increasing twice, how can they stand it. 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 guarantee the number of Chinese population. As the widely spread of one-child policy, some people have changed their conception about giving birth. If they firmly believe one-child policy, there will be more and more the dink. After several decades, our country will be famous for lack of population.
To sum up, one-child policy has out of date. And tow-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problem of nowadays and the future.

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking: “I hate all the terrible pianos in this town.
I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.” “I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody l istens to us.” But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.” I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If
you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim , chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”. This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.

Scientists at the University of Georgia recently showed that the control of a single gene in a hardwood tree species makes it grow faster and break down into fuel more easily.
The growth rate increase was a surprise. Researchers at Georgia were focused on weakening the species’ defenses to chemicals used to take out of the sugars to create biofuels（生物燃料）. They were able to aim at a gene called GAUT12.1, important sections of the protective cell walls in plants.
“This research gives us important suggestions about the genes that control plant structures and how we can use them to our advantage.” study co-author Debra Mohnen, a professor of
biochemistry at Georgia, explained.
“The difficulty of breaking down the complex plant cell wall is a major barrier to the cost-effective production of biofuels, and this discovery may pave the way for new techniques that make that process more economically possible,” Mohnen added. In the lab, researchers engineered 11 transgenic(转基因的) trees, with GAUT12.1 decreased by approximately 50 percent.
“Our experiments show that the trees we created were less unmanageable, meaning that it would be easier to obtain sugars from the plant cell walls,” said lead study author Ajay a Biswal, an assistant research scientist in Mohnen’s lab. “ But we were particularly happy to see how quickly these trees grew compared to what one would observe in with the wild type.”
The trees grew especially fast. Eastern cottonwoods, the employed species, are already prized for their rapid growth. The transgenic trees matured（成熟）even faster- reaching a 12 to 52 percent increase in height and a 12 to 44 percent increase in diameter（直径）when compared to the control group.
“ We’ve already learned a lot from this process, but we are confident that we can expand and improve on our research to achieve even better plant materials used as fuel and understanding of how it is produced,” Mohnen concluded.
32. What can we know about GAUT12.1 from the text?
A. It gets rid of all sugars
B. It does harm to trees.
C. It is found in every plant.
D. It protects tree’s cell walls.
33. It can be inferred from the text that _____________.
A. the scientists will go on with their research.
B. there are many genes helping trees’ growth.
C. the researchers are dissatisfied with what they’ve achieved.
D. eastern cottonwoods grow more quickly than any other trees
34. Which of the following is key to the production of biofuels?
A. Protecting the plant cell wall.
B. Planting the wild trees in the lab.
C. Making the trees grow more quickly.
D. Breaking down the complex plant cell wall.
35. What type of reading is the text?
A. Science report.
B. Economy survey.
C. Entertainment news
D. Travel guidance.

The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure. 36 But he could not go far beneath its surface.
37 However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can’t stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. 38 He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. 39 .When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水夫病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. 40
A. Man wants to explore deep into the sea.
B. Scientists are trying to find more about the sea.
C. They can even kill him.
D. For thousands of years, he could sail on it.
E. The water pressure can cause a diver to breathe with difficulty.
F. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.
G. His body is under great pressure.

Dear Ms J.K.Rowling,
It is great pleasure to write to you. I like reading all of you books. A few days before, I listened to a radio program about you. Now I know that you teach English at home and in others
countries before you started writing books. I also know that you could only write the first book while your baby daughter was asleep, so you worked on them for five years. That was a very much difficult job. Your son David and your daughter Jessica must be proud for you. I hope I can become as successfully as you when I grow up. Thank you for spending time read my letter.
Yours sincerely,
Romas

How to get prepared for the College Entrance Exams
The College Entrance Exam is drawing near. However, most students of senior three don’t know how to connect rest, doing exercise with study. In their eyes they should sacrifice their rest time in order to get high scores, which results in poor health and low efficiency of learning.
Just as a famous saying goes: all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We should be aware that nothing is more valuable than health which is a foundation of success. Therefore, on the one hand, we should fully and systematically make preparations for the exam. On the other hand, we should relieve stress by means of relaxation and doing sports.
In conclusion, only when we have adequate rest and doing some sports can we study more efficiently.。
