| Zhang Li If I could make some rules for my family, the most important one would be to have all my family members do housework together. My mother usually does all the housework. It’s unfair. My father and mother can take turns cooking. I’ll wash dishes. And on weekends, we can clean the house together. |
| Zhao Zhao My rule is that we should communicate with each other more. My parents often work until midnight and are very tired. But they usually play with their iPads or cellphones when they are relaxing. I think we should talk with each other for a while instead of playing with electronic devices (电子产品). |
| An Qi I want to set some rules for my father. To stay fit, he should eat breakfast, exercise every day and stop smoking. He always watches TV for a long time and doesn’t read books. So I want him to only watch TV for one hour every day. Instead, he can read a book, and we can discuss it together every week. |
| Li Yun I want to set a rule for my family that we have to go out at least once a week together. I find that we have little time for one another. If we have this rule, we can go climbing, camping or simply run in the park together. It not only helps us stay fit and healthy, but also gives us more chances to talk to each other. |
| A．Zhang Li. | B．Zhao Zhao. | C．An Qi. | D．Li Yun. |
| A．never does housework | B．always plays on his cellphone |
| C．works very hard | D．lives an unhealthy life |

Stephen Hawking, the best known physicist(物理学家) of his time, passed away on March 14, 2018.
Hawking was born in Britain in 1942. He was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong—he didn’t die.
Because of his bad health, he was confined(限制) to a wheelchair(轮椅). He couldn’t feed himself and got in or out of bed himself. Even worse, he lost his voice in 1985. He could only talk with the help of a computer.
But he didn’t give in(屈服). He used every new day that life offered(提供) to continue his study. After Oxford, Hawking went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲学博士).
Because it was difficult for Hawking to draw diagrams(图表) or to write, he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world.
In 1981, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages(语言).
Hawking was a great scientist. His work and story will live on for many years. We will remember him forever!

5 . 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 can also 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.
All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of nowadays and the future.
