Shopping used to mean actually going to shops, but nowadays, you can shop without even leaving your house. Just sit in front of your computer, click your mouse and your things will be sent to your house in a couple of days.
November 11th is a big day for people who like shopping online. On that day last year, many online stores offered a big discount and free delivery service. The biggest online shopping sites in China,Taobao.com and Tmall.com ，sold things worth 19.1 billion yuan in total.
“Goods online are often much cheaper. It also saves me a lot of time. And we often have more goods on many online stores than in shopping malls,” Wang Xin, an online shopping lover in Beijing, said to China Daily. She stayed up very late for a lot of cheap goods online. She spent several thousand that day.
Another big advantage of online shopping is that it helps people get things from different cities, even different countries, with ease. “I like eating duck neck very much and I often buy it on Taobao from shops in Wuhan. It’s much more delicious than what our local (当地的) stores sell, but cheaper,” said Zang Xin, a girl in Yangzhou.
While enjoying online shopping, many people also have worries, especially for middle school student buyers. Young students are easily attracted by advertisements on the Internet and buy things they don’t need.
“Middle school students should pay more attention to their study. Searching for things wastes their time,” said Jing Chunling, an education expert. “Besides, online shop owners have no idea of the ages of their buyers. Anyone can easily buy things that they want to. Some of goods are even bad for young students such as cigarettes and wine.”Nowadays many people like shopping online instead of _________.
| A．clicking their mouse | B．paying money |
| C．sitting in front of their computers | D．going to shops |
What does the underlined phrase “with ease” mean?
| A．轻松地 | B．困难地 | C．便宜地 | D．昂贵地 |

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．
