China had the largest population in the world in the past, but it doesn’t now. Too few newborns（新生儿） will also bring serious problems. So the government wants young couples（夫妻） to give birth to more babies.
Babies born as the second or third child in a family were about 54% of new births in China in 2022. Babies born as the second child were about 39% of new births in 2022, compared with 41.1% in 2021. The percentage（百分比） of babies born as the third child rose by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year（同比） to 15% last year.

Newborns as the second or third child are rising from about 30% in 2013 to about 50% now. But the number of newborns has kept falling at the same time.

As a new in the school, I really wanted to have some good friends two months ago. My classmates Lisa, Tina and Nancy seemed to be closer to me, so I really expected to be friends with them. Although we don’t have a lot in common, I tried to please（取悦） them.
I spent an hour playing tennis with Lisa every Tuesday afternoon, though I was not good at it. I didn’t like playing chess, but I had to watch chess games with Tina every Wednesday afternoon. And every Thursday afternoon, Nancy always asked me to enjoy classic al music which I knew nothing about.
A month later, we grew apart gradually. I was so sad and told my stories to my grandmother. She didn’t say too much but gave me a saying: “I don’t know the secret to success, but the secret to failure is trying to please everyone.”
In fact, you don’t need everyone to agree with you or like you. It’s human’s nature to want to be liked, and valued, but not at the expense of（以……为代价） your happiness. So for people who want to be valued, and to be liked, I’d like to say is to stay true to your values and stop ______.
