Question

The one-child policy has been carried out for about 20 years .Most Chinese families have only one child. By the year 2008,the number of only children in China had already been 330 million ,which was about the population of the United States .In the next twenty years ,the only-child generation (一代人) will become the main builders of our society .No one knows how much he or she will change the world .

Only children in families often receive the best care, sometimes ,even get a lot of indulgence .Parents always try their best to satisfy their children’s needs .Those children, who are called “little emperors” ,are in danger of too much love .

However these kids often fell lonely because neither their parents nor their classmates can take the place of a brother or a sister.

It seems that only children are still not ready to do their duty .some elder only children have already graduated from college .But they still depend on their parents .They need a longer time to change for their jobs, because they were brought up in a safe environment. When their parents get older, a couple of only children will have four parents and even more grandparents to look after. It will surely be the biggest problem if they don’t well prepare to face it.

試題分析：本文大意：計劃生育政策已經實行了二十年了，到2008年，中國獨生子的數量已經達到3.3億，大約是美國的人口數 在未來的20年里，獨生子一代將成為我們社會的主力軍。獨生子們經常得到最好的愛護，有時甚至處到許多的溺愛，然而這些孩子們經常感覺到孤單，因為他們的家長和同學們都不能取代兄弟姐妹的作用。當兩個獨生子的父母變老時，他們要照顧四個父母和更多的祖父母，如果他們還沒有準備好，這無疑將成為最大的問題。
