“Any action which may put down the accuracy of the census is forbidden and will receive severe punishment,” Liu Changsong, deputy director of the office, said at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
Almost at all the preparations for the census have been finished, 6 million census workers have been selected and trained and initial residence registration has been accomplished.
The census will start at midnight on November 1．

People who violate (违反) the regulation have to pay a fine in order to make up for the government’s expenditure (支出) in bringing up and educating the extra children.

I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 21 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would 22 his taxi on the road. I 23 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 24 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 25 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 26 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 27 to be outside one evening two weeks 28 ,when the garage door was 29 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me completely 30 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 31 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（n）32 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 33 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a（n）34 .

We should focus more on 40 we are than what we do!
