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.

Beibei is a 6-year-old girl from Beijing. She is a single child in a rich family. During a family trip to Shanghai，she made her parents feel ashamed（难为情的）. When taking the crowded subway，Beibei said to her mom，“Ask someone to offer me a seat. ”Her mom told her to sit on their bags，but she was angry and didn’t talk anymore.

Why did the girl behave like that? According to Zhang Yiyun，a Chinese EQ education expert（专家）from Taiwan，many single children are self-centred. They don’t have the skill to solve trouble. Self-centeredness is one of the problems caused by a low EQ.

EQ is the ability to know our own feelings and those of others，and also manage our emotions（情感）and relationships. Most people know that IQ is important，but EQ is probably more important in daily life. When facing an exam，EQ helps us to manage stress（压力）. When getting along with friends or parents，EQ helps us to communicate well.

EQ is shaped partly by genetics（遗传学）. “You can see some babies are quiet，while others have bad tempers，”Zhang Yiyun told Xinhua News Agency. EQ is also something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others.

If we learn in the right way，our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. They are also better able to manage conflicts（矛盾）with others. A high EQ is a combination（结合）of a few different skills，so we’d better learn these skills.

1.Why did Beibei get angry on the subway?

A.Because the subway was too crowded.

B.Because her mother didn’t get a seat for her.

C.Because sitting on the bags made her feel ashamed.

D.Because she didn't like the family trip.

2.People with a low EQ may 　　　 .

A.get on well with others B.pay more attention to others' feelings

C.seldom get angry in their daily life D.care more about themselves

3.According to the fourth and fifth paragraphs，we know that 　　　 .

A.people with a high EQ often get high marks in exams

B.genetics decides a person’s EQ

C.people can improve their EQ by learning

D.people with a high EQ often fight with each other

4.From the passage，we know that a high EQ can help us in many ways EXCEPT 　　　 .

A.being self-centered B.managing stress

C.communicating well with others D.making more friends

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A.The Problem of Single Children B.The Importance of EQ

C.How to Improve Our EQ D.How to Communicate with Parents

Pan Jiachen is a 15-year-old girl from Beijing. She is the only child of her family. She is happy and confident, but she feels lonely sometimes. "It's not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or a sister! " she said.

It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. China has ended its long one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. But what will a kid's life be like if he or she grows up with a sibling(兄弟姐妹) ?

A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert. "Siblings give children something that parents can't give," said the expert. A kid may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with. They can also talk about different kinds of things and share secrets with each other.

But there are disadvantages too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competition, arguments and even fights. Children with siblings need to learn to compromise and control their feelings.

Even the birth order can make a difference. According to a recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children.　 Parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child. So firstborns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple has a second child, they are more relaxed. So the late-born children are usually funny and creative.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about Pan Jiachen?

A. She is 17 years old.

B. She comes from Nanjing.

C. She doesn't like travelling.

D. She wishes that she could have a brother or a sister.

2.The third paragraph mainly talks about 　　　　　　　　 　 .

A. China has started its two-child policy B. the advantages of having a sibling

C. the disadvantages of having a sibling D. one kid may feel lonely

3.What does the underlined word "compromise" mean in Chinese?

A. 争斗 B. 遵守 C. 妥协 D. 坚持

4.Which of the following is the disadvantage of having a brother or a sister?

A. Having a partner to play with.

B. Sharing secrets with each other.

C. Having arguments and even fights.

D. Talking about something with each other.

5.From the last paragraph we can know that 　　　　　　　　 .

A. parents are usually strict with their first child.

B. the birth order has nothing to do with children's personalities

C. the late-born children are often responsible and thirsty for success

D. the first children are usually funny and creative

Dear Reader,

To help Maria most, your money is to put to­gether with other helpers, so hardworking people can help themselves. Build a school or a hospital, make their farm better, bring in clean water... This is what Save the Children has been about since 1932.

That's how Save the Chil­dren works. But without you, it can't work. Please take a moment to fill in this form to help a child like Maria and her village.
