China has ended its one-child policy(政策) in 2015. The government announced it would now allow all couples to have two children. The one-child policy was a population control measure that was introduced in 1979. Policy makers hoped to control the country’s population to avoid high rates of poverty(贫穷).

The new two-child policy should give a huge economic(经济) push for China and prevent China from becoming an ageing society. China’s labor(劳动力) force peaked at 940 million in 2012. This fell to 930 million in 2014 and is expected to fall by 29 million by 2020. Predictions are that there will be an average of 2.5 million extra newborns per year. This will provide more workers and an extra $11.8 billion in annual GDP. The new policy will affect around 100 million people.

Today we are developing a new idea—Money is the measure of all things. More and more, people are being judged by what they own, and not by their good qualities. This is certainly true among many people in China.

According to a survey that was done in 2013, China is the most materialistic(物欲的) country in the world. Twenty-three percent of Chinese said they measured success by the things they owned (cars, homes, jewelry, designer clothes) compared with just 21 percent in America, 20 percent in Canada, and 16 percent in Britain.

This love of materialistic has spread into schools where some kids like to show off their Apple Watches, iPhone7 and expensive running shoes. Some poorer students now feel worried by their richer classmates and sad by their poor families. In some cases this has affected their performance in school.

But having rich parents doesn’t automatically(自动地) bring good grades and having poor parents doesn’t certainly bring bad grades. It is hard wok that is the key to success, not the cost of your running shoes. And hard work is what develops good characters, not money, that should be the measure of all things.

1.What is the measure of all things for many people in China?

A. Success. B. The good quality. C. The good grades. D. Money.

2.According to the survey, how many Chinese judged success by the things they owned?

A. 23% of Chinese. B. 21% of Chinese. C. 20% of Chinese. D. 16% of Chinese.

3.Why do some students like showing off expensive things in school?

A. Because their families are very rich.

B. Because of the worship of materialism.

C. Because expensive things can bring good grades.

D. Because they are good at all kinds of subjects.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Poor students can hardly get good grades.

I am Tara Subra. I love my smartphone. But everywhere you look, people are glued to their screens. And we are all missing out on chances to notice and enjoy the world around us.

This smartphone addiction(成瘾) is seriously affecting our ability to focus. I can’t even watch a movie without checking my phone, which means nothing ever receives my full attention. That’s scary, especially in a school. I’m afraid it changes my work and how well I learn.

My name is Alex Hager. Smarphones encourage us to think more and give us a lot of information. Say you’re with your friends and they are discussing a certain event you know nothing about. You can use your phone to learn about it, and then share that conversation.

Smarphones are also a way to find people who have the same interests and goals. For example, I love making YouTube videos, but nobody at my school does. So my phone allows me to connect with other YouTubes and learn from them.

That’s why I want you to pick up your phone, search for a person who’s talking about something you love, and start a conversation. Your world will get bigger-straight from your palm(手掌) of your hand.
