Are you the only child in your family？ Everyone knows the one-child policy（政策）. China, with the largest population in the world, started it in 1971 because Chinese government wanted to control （控制）the increasing population at that time. And later in 2016, the Chinese government gave other couples （夫妻）a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.

However, as time goes by, some problems have appeared in our society. These problems are mainly about:

The number of workers had changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012. The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly climb down by 29 million by 2024.

China is now getting into an aging society. There will be more old people in the following years. But there will not be enough doctors and nurses to take care of the old.

The population of China will become smaller and smaller if the government carries on the two-child policy. It is the main reason that causes the problems above.

That's why Chinese government began the three-child policy on May 31", 2021. The government hopes it can help solve those social problems day by day. It is reported that there will be around one million newly-born babies each year.

Can the three-child policy help solve these problems? Let's wait and see!

A. The government.

B. The largest population.

C. The one-child policy.

D. The only child in the family.

A. In 1971.   B. In 2012.   C. In 2016.   D. In 2021.

58. How many workers will there be in 2024?

A. About 960 million.    B. About 940 million.

C. About 930 million.    D. About 901 million:

59. What＇s the writer＇s attitude （态度）towards the three-child policy？
