Question

China is a great country with the largest population in the world．In order to solve the population problem，our government decides to have one-child policy．When it is carried out for some time，many people see not only its advantages but also its disadvantages．Therefore，one-child policy has been out of date，and two-child policy has been carried out these days．

If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other．You live together in the same house and with the same parents，but you have different personalities．

Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you·

First-born children receive all the attention from their parents．Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born as any other child．Parents usually give first-bores more responsibility(责任)and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters．As a result，first-borns are often responsible，hard-working and serious．They often want to do well at school and work．There are more first-born American presidents…such as George W Bush，George Washington，and Lyndon Baines Johnson---than the second or last-born children．

When a second child arrives，parents usually feel less excited．The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love．These children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work，but have to be creative to get their family’s attention．They are often friendly and cool．Many famous talk-show hosts were born last．

根据短文内容，完成下列各题。

1.Has two-child policy been carried out in China these days?

【解析】

试题分析：本篇文章讲述了在中国实行计划生育政策呢，一家只能生育一个孩子。但是现在已经过时了，中国已经开始实施二胎计划。然后文章还对比了第一胎和第二胎孩子的不同点。

1.句意：现在二胎政策已经在中国实施了吗？根据文中Therefore，one-child policy has been out of date，and two-child policy has been carried out these days．然而，一孩政策已经过时了，现在二胎政策已经在实施了。这是一个一般疑问句，故用Yes,it has.来回答。

2.句意：哪种人更可能成为总统呢？是一胎孩，还是二胎孩 ？根据文中： There are more first-born American presidents than the second or last-born children．相比于对二胎或者更靠后的孩子来说，有更多的第一胎生的美国总统。所以答案应该是First-borns.

3.句意：当第二胎来临的时候，父母的感觉是怎么样的？根据文中：When a second child arrives，parents usually feel less excited．当二胎来临的时候，父母感到不是那么兴奋。所以答案应该是Parents usually feel less excited when a second child arrives.
