The Year of the Goat was a main reason for the low newborns in 2015，a report said．
There were 16.55million babies born in China last year，about 320，000fewer than 2014，the Year of the Horse，it said．
China began to allow couples where one partner was an only child to have a second child in late 2013，which made 11million couples eligible （符合条件的）．
People expected the policy to result in 1million more births compared with 2014．However，that did not happen．There is an old Chinese saying that 9out of 10people born in the Year of the Goat are unlucky in their lives．
It was reported that the decline （下降） was mainly because of the Year of the Goat．China will likely welcome 17.5to 21million newborns yearly in the next five years．
In 2015，the number of women aged 15to 49，considered to be of childbearing age，fell by 5million from 2014，In addition，the group between 20and 29years old，who are main childbearing people，has declined by 1.5million，the report said．
Among babies born last year，the number of first children dropped by 850，000from 2014，or 4.1percent，At the same time，it said．At the same time，the number of the second children increased by 450，000．
The number of Chinese women of childbearing age reached the highest point in 2011 and then began to decline．

I have spent almost a third of my life in china，living and working in this beautiful country．In a sense，China has been and is still my second home But in those past years I had never been to Quzhou．
Some days ago，for the first time in my Chinese life，I stepped into the beautiful city of Quzhou．My impressions of Quzhou city were as I always thought：green countryside，rainy sky，wet air．That was what I imagined for years the south of China would be．When we finally arrived，I was impressed by the elegant （优雅的） city．
Next day we were taken to visit some places not far away from the city．I was not aware of the direction of our short trip，but when we arrived at Lanke mountain and got out of the car，I thought that we had been taken to a fairyland （仙境）：the light rain over the green and thick plants，the silvery sky like a heavy blanket and the mystery （神秘） of this mountain made me feel like being part of a picture．
Jiulong Lake was our next step．The mystic atmosphere （气氛） of this place was so strong that I decided to watch the view standing at the top when I stepped into the small boat to sail upstream．Sometimes we were so close to the mountain that we could clearly see the red soil under the plants．I was thinking of the joy to be in a place like Jiulong Lake and how it would be to live among those hills for a while．
The final leg of the day's journey was a primary school．We were welcomed by the smiles on the faces of many young pioneers．The energy of the hundreds of kids made me feel younger for a while，so educated，so polite and so warm that I had no doubt about the future generations of Quzhou people．The people seem to me the best of Quzhou and they will remain in my memories forever．

Jokes are things that we say to make other people laugh．Sometimes a joke is just a short sentence，while other times it can be a story that can take a while to tell．An example of a simple joke is：
People who tell jokes are welcomed everywhere bacause everyone likes hearing a good joke．Here is another example of a jokes：
We say a joke is "corny" if it is stupid．An example of a corny joke is：
But some people may think a corny joke actually a good joke．Telling a good joke depends not only on the joke itself but also on the way it is told．Some people have a skill for telling jokes．And some people simply do not know how to tell jokes．Every language and culture has its own funny jokes．As a result，many jokes lose their humor if they are translated into a different language．Some jokes depend on making fun of other people to be funny．However，these jokes may hurt people's feelings．
Sometimes jokes are told about certain races and religions （宗教）．These are called"recial"and"religious"jokes，and they can be burting people，too．Jokes about the supposed special things of the members of one sex are sometimes considered to be"sexist （性别歧视的） rubbish"．Jokes that hurt people's feelings are not really funny．
