You know what it' s like. You’ ve just arrived in Washington D. C. after a long journey and all you really want to do is lie down and relax in your hotel room. But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrow's meeting, check your e-mails, and perhaps print out a few- things. And you need to make a few local telephone calls, and one call to your family.
And what do you usually get? Your desk is just about big enough for a cup of coffee, and there's no desk lamp~ the stationary(办公用品) is only several pieces of paper and the only pen there doesn't work at all. If you want to print something, you have to go to the Reception(前台),and when you try to use your cell phone, you find that it won't work in the U. S. A.
Well, Harmony Hotel is different. Just tell us ahead of time what you're going to need, and we'll make sure that it's waiting for you when you arrive. There will be a printer in your room if you want one, and a cell phone that really works. All you have to pay for is the calls you make.
We can also provide a room for business meetings, even a secretary to take notes. All we ask is a few days' notice.
All of our rooms are of the same high standard and we promise not to increase prices in the next twelve months. But book now, because many people are already calling to book rooms, and we'd hate to disappoint you.

We can't remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table.This happens a lot,especially when we eat out.Once a dish comes,instead of lifting our chopsticks,we take out our mobiles and click.Later,we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat,waiting to be"liked".Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal,to see whether we get"liked"or not.We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound familiar to you?Do you do that often?If not,how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?

China is a great country with the largest population in the world.In order to solve the population problem,our government carried out one﹣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.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,a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult.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.
