(One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)
The Caterpillar(毛毛虫) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.
“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.
This opening for a talk couldn’t make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I----I hardly know, sir, just at present ----at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”
“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”
“I can’t explain MYSELF. I’m afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”
“I don’t see.” said the Caterpillar.
“I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”
“It isn’t.” said the Caterpillar.
“Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹,茧)----you will some day, you know ----and then after that into a butterfly, I think you’ll feel it a little stranger, won’t you?”
“Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.
“Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”
“You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully. “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”
“Why?” said the Caterpillar.
Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.
“Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “I’ve something important to tell you!”
This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.Where may their talk take place?

"Let's go wrestling,Dad!" 《摔跤吧,爸爸》is one of the Top 10 movies recently. It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name's Mahavir.

A very famous Indian actor﹣Amir Khan,played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him to play this role. Amir Khan was very serious about his character and tried to make this character close to the true story.

Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of"the two﹣child policy(政策)"?
Everyone knows the one﹣child policy. It is a population control method. Chinese government aimed to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood thatand followed this policy for nearly 40 years. Everyone should be responsible for our country.
However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are many about:

● China is now getting into aging(老龄化)society.There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctor and nurses to take care of them.
● The population of China will be become smaller and smaller if one﹣child policy continues. It's the basic reason that leads to the two problems above.
That's why Chinese government began the two﹣child policy on January 1 st,2016. It allows each family to have two children. The government expects it can help solve those social problems gradually.

China is a great country with the largest population in the world.In order to solve the population problem,our government carried outone-child policy (政策) before.When it is carried out for some time,many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.
From 2016,two-child policy is put into effect.In my opinion,two-child policy is good.First of all,two-child policy is the gift for some only child (独生子).For some families,maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child.Besides the loneliness of their child,when their child grows up and they grow older,their child marry an only child girl,the burden (负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy.Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples.Usually,it is a little difficult for a young couple to look after an old couple.But if their parents have two children,they can share the burden of taking care of their parents.It would be much better.Secondly,two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.
All in all,one-child policy has been out of date.And tow-child policy is needed and necessary.It can solve the problem of nowadays and the future.
