Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?

Paper was first created about 2，000 years ago，and has been made from silk，cotton，bamboo, and since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.

Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.

Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD?ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.

Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the poster of Yao Ming on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two meters high!

The government in China plans to end its one-child policy and let families have two children instead．

The plan was announced on Thursday after high-level 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 country's labor force（劳动力）．

China，with the largest population in the world，started the one-child 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 2013，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 2014，China had a population of 1.37billion people．A total of 800million of them have jobs．But the labor market population will drop in 35years．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．

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. 1. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents , don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).

Don’t argue with your parents.2.. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach an agreement.3.. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to agree on something. In these situations itis especially important to show love and respect to them.4.talk about your values .The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. 5.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

B.Don’t get to your parents when you are angry

C.Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something
