　　China is the country with the largest population in the world.Too many people cause many problems such as the food problem.And today, China’s population is still growing very fast.So in order to control the population, China has formulated(规划) the policy of family planning, that is, late marriage(结婚), late childbirth and fewer but healthier children. Men of 22 years old and women of 20 years old can get married.If a man of 25 or over 25 gets married with a woman of 23 or over 23, their marriage is late marriage.The child by a woman at the age of 24 or later is late childbirth.

With the development of society, more and more problems appeared, and the one-child policy had to change.So China began to practise the universal(普遍的) two-child policy in January, 2016.The policy means “one couple, two children”.It will be able to balance(使平衡) population growth and offset(抵消) the burden of population ageing(人口老龄化).

Over the last forty years, Americans’ houses have become larger and larger. With bigger houses comes the chance for people to buy more things. But now many people find that big houses cost them too much money. And most of the things in their houses are not necessary. That is why small houses are getting popular today.
The size of a small house is usually less than forty square metres(平方米). It is small but it has every necessary part of our normal(常规的) home. It can give people comfortable living space.
People build their small house in different places. Some build the house on wheels(车轮), so they can take the house anywhere by driving their car. It’s even possible to buy a small house. There are many kinds of small houses for sale. But if you like, you can also design and build a small dream house by yourself.
We see many small houses in TV shows, movies and books today. That makes the idea of small houses more and more popular. Many people find that by making their living space small, they can save money and live a much greener life.
根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。
(　　)36.Many people think that they spend too much money on a big house.
(　　)37.Paragraph 2 tells us where people can buy a small house.
(　　)38.People can’t move a small house to other places.

Ⅶ.One possible version:
China is developing faster and faster. There are more and more people coming to the cities to find jobs. It has brought a lot of problems. The traffic is heavy. We don’t have enough schools or hospitals. Some workers are out of work. They don’t have enough money to live a better life. The air pollution and noise pollution do harm to us. What should the government do?
I think the government must provide more jobs for people. The government should build more schools and hospitals. It should also encourage people to go to work by bike or by bus instead of driving their own cars. The government may help people to find jobs in their home town. I hope our cities will become more and more beautiful.
