Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined forbreaking the family planning policy a senior official has warned. As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child,Zhang Feng,family planning department director of Guangdong Province,stressed that this violated Chinaspolicies. “And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.”he said.

    ''It doesn't matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions, they have violated the country's policies and the province's regulations''.

    He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second child in Hong Kong, but gave no details.

    Zhang made his remarks when a Hong Kong newspaper carried a controversial notice claiming residents' medical services had been affected by the growing number of mainland women who arrive in the city to give birth and gain right of abode (居住) there.

    According to statistics revealed by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2010, but more than 41,000 or 47 percent, were to mainland couples, including a large number from Guangdong.

    Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.

    The issue also has caused calls for an amendment to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.

    ''I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.'' Zhang said.

    China introduced its family planning policy in 1979 to limit births in the world's most populous nation, although the rules have been relaxed in recent years.

In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally    1    them and the job they do-although there are certain people who do not believe that the police should have the power that they do.

    What does a policeman actually do? It is not a(n)   2  job to describe. After

all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic,either on foot in the center of a town, or in apolice car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time   3up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop   4   motorists and help when there is an accident.

    A policeman has to help keep the   5 , too. If there is a fight or some other

disturbance, we   6   the police to come and restore order. And they often have to7   situation at great risk to their own   8  .

    We expect the police to solve crimes, of course; so an ordinary policeman,

9   he is not a detective(???), will often have to help   10  and arrest criminals.

    And who do we call when there is an emergency-an air crash, a   11  , a

road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be   12   to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the   13  world.

    The police do an absolutely necessary job. They do it   14   well and I

support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could  15   do

the job of a policeman.
