5.Following a four-day meeting of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in Beijing,the central government announces that China allows two children for every couple.
The People's Congress at provincial level or its standing committee has revised local regulations or made new ones,with the support and guidance of the National Health and Family Planning Commission,Jiang said.
"The number of new births will definitely increase in the coming years and we estimate that the peak will be over 20million newborn babies,"said Wang Pei'an,vice-minister of the National Health and Family Planning Commission.
At present,about 60percent of China's child-bearing women are over 35years old,which means an increase of'elderly'mothers will be witnessed in China in the next few years,Wang said in a news release on Friday.
"It's safe to say that the two-child policy won't bring huge pressure on food security and basic public services,such as health,education and employment,"Wang said.He estimated that another 30million working people aged between 15and 59will be added by 2050."It will benefit economic growth in the long term,"Wang added.

2.When I was nine years old,I loved to go fishing with my dad.But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything.I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why.He always answered,"Son,if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish",I remember being even more upset then because,"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish.Besides,I reasoned,how could what I think influence what a fish does.
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant.So,I read some books on fish.And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature.That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.Besides,water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade.Yet,fish don't have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish,the more I became effective t finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world,I remember hearing my first boss say,"We all need to think like sales people."But it didn't completely make sense.My dad never once said,"If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman."What he said was,"You need to think like a fish."Years later,with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me,I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers.It is not an easy job.I will show you how in the following chapters.

19.Here comes a story that many years ago a man arrived at a village in India to catch monkeys so he could sell them to zoos.The monkeys,however,were very clever and every sort of trap he set failed.A young boy watched the man's pathetic efforts and laughed.
The man said,"If you can catch me a monkey,I'll give you﹩2.That was a huge amount of money then.The boy went to his home and took a clay pot with a narrow neck.He placed a few nuts around the pot and put lots of nuts inside.He then tied the pot to a tree and told the man,"We should have a rest in a few hours.Let's wait in the village.The monkey will call us when he is ready."Certainly enough,a band of monkeys soon discovered the nuts and the pot.One slipped his hand in the pot and grabbed a handful of nuts,but he couldn't pull his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist(拳头) was clenched.The monkey feared and started making loud noises.Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand.The boy and the man heard the noises and the boy got a big strong bag.As they approached the monkeys they all ran away except the one with its hand in the pot.The boy grabbed the monkey and the pot.The man was amazed and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap,"Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out?"The boy laughed and said,"The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped,but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go.They never are."What lessons can be learned from this story?Do people sometimes trap themselves by holding onto things that they should let go?Do you?

19.Imagine you are standing on the 70th floor of the Empire State Building,staring at the cityscape.Suddenly a man pushes past you,opens the window and announces his intention to jump.You yell out,"Stop!Don't do it!"the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly (恐吓地) says,"Try to stop me and I'll take you with me!"
"Umm…No problem,sir.have a good trip.any last words?"
"Let me tell you my troubles,"he says,"my wife left me,my kids won't talk to me,I lost my job and my pet turtle died,so why should I go on living?"
Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration."Sir,close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind.No colors,no sights of children playing,no fields of flowers,no sunset.Now imagine that suddenly there's a miracle.You open your eyes and your vision is restored!Are you going to jump?Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights?"
"I'll stay for a wee k."
"But what happened to all the troubles?"
"I guess they're not so bad.I can see!"
"Well,your eyesight is worth at least five million dollars.You're a rich man!"
If you really appreciate your eyesight,the other pains are insignificant.But if you take it all for granted,then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy.Actually,there are misconceptions on the road to happiness.
misconception1:"Once I know the tools for being happy,then it will work like magic."
Don't expect the results to come automatically.It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness,yet not put it into practice.In fact,many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy,rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits.Just as learning any new skill requires effort,you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness.
Misconception 2:"if I become content and satisfied with what I have,I'll lose my motivation to achieve more."
Now ask someone who is depressed,"Let's go fishing!""I'm tired.Maybe tomorrow.And anyway,I might rain…"in reality,happy people are energetic and ambitious.There's never enough time to do everything they want to do.
Misconception 3:
A beautiful Sunday afternoon,you're in the park having a picnic with friends.Suddenly one person complains:"who forgot the forks?It's too hot for volleyball.I want to go home already."
When our mood negatively affects others,we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun.But what about when we're at home with our family?Or when we go into the office on Monday morning?like an open pit in the middle of the road,a sourpuss(牢骚满腹的人) is a public danger.Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us.
29.The story is placed at the beginning of the passage in order toD.
A.tell a skill of persuasion
B.warn the danger of standing on a tall building
C.emphasize the importance of eyesight
D.introduce the theme of the passage
30.What can be inferred from the underlined sentences?B
A.Everything has a price.
B.We should value what we have.
C.Every dog has its day.
D.Eyesight is more important.
31.What is right about happy?C
A.Happy is a gift.
B.Happy is limited.
C.Happy is contagious (会传染的).
D.Happy is no more than a skill.
32.The best subtitle of Misconception 3 isD.
A.If unhappy occurs at home,I needn't pretend to be happy
B.If I can't make others unhappy,I won't be happy.
C.If someone is happy,then others around them are happy.
D.If I want to be depressed,that's my own prerogative.
