A change to its population policy(人口政策）for the world's most populated country(人口最多的国家), that is where we start this new week on CNN (美国有线新闻网络，以提供即时电视新闻报导而闻名)STUDENT NEWS.
China introduced(提出） its so-called one-child policy(独生子女政策） in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth(控制人口增长). It's also been against for forcing(强迫) parents to make difficult personal choices(选择）, or in some cases（某些情况） face huge fines（面临巨额罚款).
The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although（尽管) there were some exceptions(例外), for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children.
The new rule(法规) says that if either parent(父母亲一方) is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own.
One reason for the change is economics(经济).
In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single(单个的) child could not afford (能做)to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that.
Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights(改善人权).Which may be the best title of the article?___________.

Legend has it that an apple which fell from its branches was the inspiration for Sir Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity(引力). But now history’s famous fruit tree is paying the price of fame.
The thousands of visitors drawn to Sir Isaac’s childhood home each year could be damaging the tree. A willow barrier(围栏)has been put around the tree. It means visitors to the 17th century Woolsthorpe Manor, near Grantham, Lincolnshire, will no longer be able to sit under its branches as Newton was said to have been doing in 1665 when “the notion of gravitation came to mind.”
The National Trust, which owns the small manor(庄园)where Newton was born in 1642, said the 2ft-high barrier was designed to preserve the tree. Official Ann Moynihan said there had been no damage so far but warned that there could soon be a problem.“Visitor numbers have gone up by around 50 percent, to 33,000 a year in three years. The more people who visit, the more the earth will become compacted(压实) around the tree and over the roots. We just want to preserve the tree for another 400 years if we can.”She said visitors will still be able to take apples from the tree.
Visitor Chris Gwyther,37,said,“I suppose it is a pity that you can’t sit under the tree like Newton. But you can still see it and the tree is 400 years old, it needs saving for the future.”
Newton left no information saying he had been inspired by a falling apple. The story appeared in a book by French philosopher Voltaire published in 1727, the year Newton died at the age of 84. Why do people go to Woolsthorpe Manor to see the apple tree?
| A．Because of the story about the apple tree. |
| B．Because of the long history of the apple tree. |
| C．Because of the sweetness of the apple. |
| D．Because of the unusual flower of the apple tree. |
What is the reason that people can’t sit under the tree like Newton?
| A．The manor is too crowded to sit around. |
| B．Their heads will be hit by the apples. |
| C．A willow barrier has been put around the tree. |
| D．There is something wrong with the apple tree. |
The underlined word preserve means “_____”.
| A．keep something safe | B．make something grow |
| C．leave something as it is | D．let something be |
When did Newton have the inspiration for the discovery of gravity?
| A．In 1642. | B．In 1665. | C．In 1820. | D．In 1727. |
