• 3．China's fertility （生育） rate is on a downward trend and the average family size has been shrinking over the years，a senior official said on Saturday，calling for comprehensive measures to encourage marriage and childbearing.
      Data shows that there was 2.62 people per family in China in 2020，down by 0.48 from 2010，according to Wang Pei'an，deputy director of the China Family Planning Association.
      "Currently，the perspective on marriage and starting a family among young generations is changing，and the trend toward having smaller families is becoming more obvious，" he remarked at the third China Population and Development Forum held in Beijing.
      The shift has resulted in delays in marriage，having children and even a resistance of such rituals，which he said is the primary reason for China's declining fertility level.
      A survey shows that women planned to have 1.64 babies in 2021，down from 1.76 in 2017.For people born in the 1990s and 2000s，their ideal number of babies was only 1.54 and 1.48 respectively.
      Furthermore，the percentage of women who have no children over their lifetime increased from 6.1 percent in 2015 to 10 percent in 2020.
      "A survey shows that less than 70 percent of women aged 35 and under agree that a life with children is complete，" he said，adding that given the low fertility rate in China，it would be extremely difficult to raise the fertility without strengthened efforts to foster a longing for marriage and family.
      Wang suggested devoting more efforts to the promotion of getting married and having children at proper ages and sharing family responsibilities between men and women.
      He also called for advancing flexible working hours，and developing nursery care and elderly care industries.
      He added that a range of policies from household registration and employment rules to medical insurance and social security regulations should be geared toward "protecting marriages and families."
  
  （1）Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 5？

  
  A．To applaud women's will to have babies.
  B．To show the influence of delayed marriage.
  C．To present diverse attitudes to childbearing.
  D．To reason for the decline of China's fertility.
  （2）What does the word "foster" mean in Para.7？

  
  A．polish
  B．raise
  C．a(chǎn)ttain
  D．tackle
  （3）Which of the following may help raise the fertility according to Wang？

  
  A．Shared responsibilities in family.
  B．Shortened working hours.
  C．Regulated nursery care industry.
  D．Advanced medical facilities.
  （4）What is the purpose of the article？

  
  A．To raise the problem of birth rate fall.
  B．To correct people's view of marriage.
  C．To call for measures to boost fertility.
  D．To promote the benefits of childbearing.

     Olivia，meanwhile，sat at her kitchen table with her twin sister.They were eating cupcakes while discussing what to put on the signs they planned to make.At the center of the table were posterboard in bright colors，markers，pens，colored pencils，and crayons.
     "Where should we start？" asked her sister ，brushing the cream from her hands. "What do you want people to know about you？" Olivia raised her head and thought for a moment. "I want them to know I'm a hard worker，" she said，eyes bright and alert. "I have experience as class president.I also have a lot of ideas of making this a great school year." "Experience is truly important，" commented her sister. "Dad once told me he would vote for someone who had proven to be the kind of leader he was looking for in his company."

"Oh，or Olivia for President，Opportunity for All？" "I like both of those， "exclaimed Olivia."
