人口问题(The Problems of Large Population)

It is reported that the world’s population was 6 billion in the year 2,000, and it is growing faster and faster. The world’s population problem is the greatest one because it brings lots of problems, such as water resources problem, more and more people losing their jobs and so on. These problems are mainly in the developing countries because the population of the developing countries is over 4/ 5 of the world’s popuation. So China, the largest developing country, has kept the policy one couple, one child.

[英语作文：人口问题

“你如果要体会什么是沮丧，你就在春节前后到北京或广州的火车站去看看。一张张怆惶的脸在人群中涌动。你这时才知道了一个民族的伤口在哪里。”刚分到国家计生委的研究生小M对几位作家这样描述。他工作的国家计生委在二十年中使中国少生了5个亿，这个数字推迟了灾难降临中国大陆。但他们要忍受很多来自国际上的谴责以及国内的不理解、甚至基层工作人员被暴力侵害。而且这个单位一直被忽视……

人口灾难是否会降临，我们不得而知。我们只知道未来一个世纪中国大陆最大的问题(比环境、****、经济、教育更严峻)是人口问题。

大陆老农穷贫到极点却不忘生孩子

“你猜我们家的保姆家里有几个小孩，你保准猜不着，她兄弟姐妹9个。”女作家项小米对我叹道：“太可怕了!他们陕西那什么县，普遍如此，都是七八个孩子。没活干，没田种，树全砍秃了，地慢慢变成沙漠，这些人要吃饭，就都跑到城里。把城里弄的脏乱差，犯罪率激升。就冲这我也要把我女儿送到美国……”

记者在近一两年中发现，这种一家生五六个、七八个的现象在大陆许多地方

相当普遍。计划生育的国策，各地执行是很弹性的，有的地方甚至变成干部敛钱的工具，你不是要生吗?拿钱来。

实际上，独生子女政策已经成为汪洋大海中的城市孤岛的一块招牌。

记者几年前到国家贫困县山西大宁采访扶贫款被贪污案时，曾到一个家徒四壁的山民家里走访，这家主人，一个四五十岁的低矮老农，连遭不幸，不仅被干部用他的名字领扶贫款，却分文没给他，最小的男孩子还被山草中的蛇咬伤，性命垂危。当我们走进他山坳中的窑洞时，他哭了起来，我们力所能及地给了他一点资助，他扑通跪在地上以表感激。当知道他有多少孩子时，我们几个人都大吃一惊，八个。

这完全出乎我们的意料，多年来计划生育大好形势的宣传，使我们觉得农村最多能生两个，即使那些一味抗法、被扒屋毁灶的人，也只能有三到四个孩子。

而八个是什么数字?那是比1949年前还多的一个数字。也可能这些家庭比起1949年前，住房改善不大、食物够吃了但质量没好多少，但抗生素等类药品的普及确实使死婴现象少多了。1949年以前，一个农民家庭也能生很多孩子，但最终成活的只有一半强。所以虽然现在有计划生育的约束，农村人口还是猛增。

记者到陕西靖边采访时，发现那里的农民虽然被各种杂税弄得苦不堪言，而且土地日益干旱和荒漠化，生活很艰难，同样也生很多孩子。一个家庭有四五个孩子是很普通的，甚至是数量最少的。

一位女记者在山西大宁县一个很穷的山村金疙瘩村采访时，发现那里农民平均六个孩子。一个五六岁的小女孩告诉她，她有四个哥哥和一个妹妹。有人指着另一个红衣女孩说：“这孩子的父亲弟兄三个，每个都有六个孩子。”女记者了解到，金疙瘩村几乎没有三胎的，大多是五、六胎，最多的一家七胎，且大部分家中有二、三个男孩。

在连吃水都困难的地方，却要生那么多的孩子，他们一起向大地索要，于是大地更加贫困和病态。

贫穷、愚昧、受欺压，生孩子，这四者是紧密相联的。

The proposal is from Wang Yuqing, a deputy director of the Committee of Population, Resources and Environment.

He is being quoted as saying he favors a gradual opening of a two-child per family policy, and says he believes the current limitations will be lifted by the end of the five-year plan in 2015.

The current family planning policy was initiated in 1979 to control Chinas rapidly growing population.

But some negative side effects have emerged, including a rapidly aging population.

Peng Xizhe is the Director of the Institute of Population Research at Fudan University.

"The one-child policy has fulfilled the goal initially set. Negative effects will pile up if it continues."

The President of Renmin University, Ji Baocheng, claims the labor force population between the ages of 28 and 40 will be halved in 10 years.

As an example, in Shanghai, which has the highest urban population in China, the number of Shanghai natives -- as in those with a Hukou -- has actually been dropping for the last 17 years in a row, even though the citys population has been increasing.

A possible reason for Shanghai parents not choosing to have a second child could be the rising cost of everyday expenses, particularly the cost of education.

"I dont think Ill have a second child if the limit is removed. Im simply a wage-earner, and I find it difficult enough to raise one child, so I wont consider the second."

But at the same time, there are still people who think it would be nice to have two children.

"I will think about it. A lot of parents now are the only child in families, to have two kids means they can look after each other in the future, and of course, therell be financial burden."

One-Child Policy has been relaxed in certain ways over the years.

In cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, if a couple is both the product of the one-child policy, theyre allowed to have two kids.

Certian ethnic minority groups have been exempt from the rules entirely.

And families in rural areas whose first child is a girl are also allowed to have a second child without punishment.

It remains unclear as to how the proposed two-child policy will work, though its being suggested that several big cities will be selected to try it before its brought in around the country.

For CRI, Im Wang Jing.

The pictures symbolically illustrate pollution is becoming increasingly serious around the globe. In the first cartoon， a man is scorching the earth on a chimney. In the second one， a famous ancient Chinese poet， Wang Bo is astonished by the heavy smoke poured by chimneys into the air and dirty river polluted by a factory. We are informed that “the autumn river is the same color with the sky”。

The drawer is sending a message about the significance of the need for everyone to fight against the danger of environmental pollution. There is no denying that the industry is indications of civilization， proGREss and development. Unfortunately， as industry develops， so will the number of factories， and the amount of industry pollutants. We are so development-oriented that we almost can sacrifice our blue sky and pure water in order to obtain a little material gain.

As a consequence， it is imperative for us to take drastic actions. On the one hand， the factories should be equipped with devices which can dispose of waste gas and water so as to prevent them from polluting our planet. On the other hand， there should be an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm actions against poisonous gas sent off and unhealthy water polluted by factories.

Safety is very important. We often hear people say “safety first”. As a middle school student, we should learn to protect ourselves from every possible danger. Here are some things I do. I hope you can follow them.

On your way to school and home. You should obey the traffic rules. You should walk on the right side of the road. Don’t ride your bike too fast.

During school, you can’t fight with each other. Don’t play with fire. Don’t bring knife to school. Don’t go out of school without your teacher’s permission.

When you are at home, remember not to ask the door for strangers. Don’t give your home address, phone number or personal information to anybody else too casually.

To begin with, as the population grows, people consume much more natural resources, which often leads to excessive hunting. Second, with the increase of human activities, modern people take up more and more space. Which has a great impact on other species. Finally, the problem of pollution becomes more and more serious with the development of modern industry. More and more animals have to adapt themselves to the decaying environment or move to a totally different place, but not all of them are fortunate enough to survive the changes.

Solving this problem calls for, above all, the government’s efforts to control population growth, to decrease industrial pollution and to enhance the laws to forbid wildlife hunting. Moreover, common citizens should be aware of this ecological crisis and take on the responsibility of wildlife protection. In a word, only when the government and the common people make joint e f forts can we hope to find a satisfactory solution to this problem.

首先，随着人口的增长，人们消耗更多的自然资源，这往往导致过度狩猎。第二，随着人类活动的增多，现代人占据了越来越多的空间。对其他物种有很大的影响。随着现代工业的发展，污染问题变得越来越严重。越来越多的动物不得不适应腐烂的环境或迁移到一个完全不同的地方，但不是所有的人都幸运地生存的变化。

解决这个问题首先需要政府控制人口增长，减少工业污染，加强禁止野生动物捕猎的法律。此外，普通市民应该意识到这一生态危机，承担野生动物保护的责任。总之，只有政府和老百姓联合起来，才能找到一个满意的解决办法。

The human race has experienced a consistent increase in population since the beginning of its history. Famine and disease have done little to offset this steady increase. Too many people are added annually to the population of the world. So both the causes of population increase and the results of having more people are worth careful study.

Culture evolution is the major factor responsible for population increase. Early in human development, people invented tools to hunt animals. Later they built shelters to protect themselves. Step by step, they made life easier. As a result, fewer died from natural forces, such as harsh climate and disease.

In the past, when population grew, there was unexplored territory to inhabit. But now, almost all the habitable land has been explored.From joozone.com.

The worlds population may reach 8.7 billion in 2033. It is clear that world population is a serious issue that needs careful attention. Human beings are unique to solve problems through cultural evolution.Facing the world population explosion in the near future. We must carry out the birth control program in order to save the mankind and save the world.

Given is a table which clearly illustrates the striking trend of aged population in China from 1990 to 2050. During the first 22 years, the number of people aged 60 and above ascended slightly from 97.19 to 136 million, and since 2012 it is predicted that this number will surge remarkably, reaching 410 million in 2050. Meanwhile, the proportion of aged citizens revealed and will reveal the similar trend, and it will reach 27.4% in total population.

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society. For one thing, aged society is best characterized by the more burden for youngsters to support parents, which will enable younger generation to work harder. For another, compared with the past and today, the aged citizens will play a more important role in society. A case in point is their age for retiring will be extended. Therefore, a larger proportion of senior citizens have to take more responsibilities in work, family and society.

Accordingly, it is advisable for Chinese government to focus more eyesight on the coming challenges in the forthcoming future. Meanwhile, it is essential for China to work out comprehensive strategies to strengthen its social welfare to reduce young people’s stress.

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society, but what resulted in this change above? For one thing, the past 30 years was best characterized by the policy of Family Plan in China, which enabled a host of families to have only one kid and enabled the proportion of youngsters to decline. For another, compared with the past, medical care and quality of life is and will be better; therefore, a larger proportion of people live longer. Consequently, the percentage of aged people showed and will show a trend of rise.

Population control

Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led to the rapid growth of the world population. Modern medicine, for example, has made it possible for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer. With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 6 billion.

But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a GREat deal of food supply and shelter space. However, limited productivity and scarce world resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-increasing population. Thus, in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.

To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from fast population growth and carry out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effective measures, can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.

科学的进步和生活条件的改善有LED到世界人口的快速增长。例如，现代医学，可以使幼儿健康成长，使人们活得更长命。随着生活条件的改善，特别是在农村地区，人们往往会有更大的家庭。作为一个结果，世界人口增长如此迅速，它现在已经超过6000000000。

但人口过度增长对人类社会的存在构成了威胁。大量的人口需要大量的食物供应和住房的空间。然而，有限的生产力几乎不能满足日益增长的人口需求。因此，从长远来看，过多的世界人口将会危害人类。

为了保证人类社会的稳定发展，人类必须意识到人口迅速增长所造成的后果，并开展计划生育。只有采取有效措施，人类社会才能稳步发展，有一个光明的未来。

[控制人口的英语作文

Almost every country in the world faced the population problem.China has the largest population, so the one-child policy was necessay. In America, there were 2 billion people 20 years ago, now there were 3 billion. Some day they will have the same amount people as we had in china, will they apply our population control policyAnyway we could be sure they will not critize our population policy at that time.

Population expansion is one of the most serious problems in the world. With better hygienic conditions and better medical care, fewer babies die today. But the birth rate remains unchanged. Moreover, the death rate has been lowered considerably by various kinds of progress. People generally live longer than they used to. All these contribute to a series of problem: shortage of national resources and food supply crowded cities and high rate of unemployment.

To solve all these problems, we must take measures to control birth rate. The first important step is to educate people-to help them understand the advantages of small families. Another important measure is to raise peoples living standards. When people full understand the consequences of population expansion, and when their standard of living is raised, the birth rate will decline without compulsion.

Though it is a difficult task, we should try in a thousand and one ways to carry out birth control If we fail to do so, the world will be too crowded to live in, and the natural resources will be used up. Then we will no longer survive on earth.

The first fifty years of the next millennium will be critical for the worlds population. By 2050 population growth should have leveled off, but by then well have 10 billion people--two-thirds as many again as we have today.The rate of population growth is something we can choose right now, though: its not something that just happens, but a matter of human choice. The choice is a complicated one,with many variables, but it remains a choice.

If we want to prevent a population explosion, we should take action now -or assist the poorer countries to do so. They need better government, better institutions, better labor and capital markets, better schools.

Anything that increases the value of womens time and adds to the cost of caring for a child makes a woman less likely to have that child. Since big families are often seen as safety nets for illness and old age, improving poor peoples access to insurance, pensions and welfare institutions also has a major impact. This can be as simple as rural credit, providing a means of saving. Finally, there is education--both for women and, perhaps even more important, for the next generation of children.

These steps are there to be taken, but there appear to be some countries that are not seriously trying at the moment. If we cannot achieve that we will certainly not control population.

That said, I dont feel pessimistic that we are going to run out of resources: we are becoming more efficient at producing food faster than the rate at which population is increasing. There is, however, a risk that we will wreck the environment so effectively that the world will no longer be an attractive place to live. That really would be a dismal outcome, to reach world population equilibrium only to find wed destroyed the natural environment in the process.

第一个五十年的下一年世界人口将至关重要。到2050年人口增长应该趋于平稳,但那时我们将有100亿人——我们今天三分之二尽可能多的再次。人口的增长是我们可以选择现在,尽管:这不是刚好,但人类选择的问题。选择是一个复杂的,有许多变量,但它仍然是一个选择。

如果我们想避免人口爆炸,我们现在应该采取行动或者帮助贫穷国家。他们需要更好的政府,更好的制度,更好的劳动力和资本市场,更好的学校。

任何增加的价值,女性的时间和增加了的成本照顾一个孩子会让一个女人更不可能有孩子。自大家庭往往被视为安全网疾病和衰老,改善贫困人口获得保险、退休金和福利机构也有重大影响。这可以简单如农村信用,提供储蓄的一种手段。最后,还有教育,对于女性来说,也许更重要的是,对于下一代的孩子。

有采取这些步骤,但似乎有些国家不认真努力。如果我们不能实现,我们将肯定不是控制人口。

说,我不觉得悲观,我们将耗尽资源:我们正变得更有效地生产粮食的速度比人口增长的速度。然而,风险,我们将有效地破坏环境,世界将不再是一个吸引人居住的地方。这确实是一个可悲的结果,实现了人口的平衡却发现在这个过程中我们破坏了自然环境。

“我不喜欢弟弟或妹妹，因为那样爸爸妈妈就不会再爱我……”最近上网总能看到类似于二胎这样的话题。这个政策是去年新颁布的，瞬间引起了社会各界的更关注，它已成为我们备考高考作文的话题之一。

此政策在网络和微信上引发了热议(become a sensation on the Internet and We Chat)。不少网友认为"00后"(children born after 2000)太自私，即使是同意父母生二胎的孩子，在有了弟弟妹妹后脾气也会变坏。但也有不少人认为，这仅仅是教育方式的问题而已(the problem lies in education)。如青岛一所小学的一群四年级学生日前成立了"反弟弟妹妹联盟"，说服父母不要生二胎。(A group of fourth-graders at an elementary school in Qingdao formed an "anti-siblings alliance" in an effort to persuade their parents not to have a second child.)该校一名老师最近发现，班里有八个孩子常聚在一起窃窃私语，讨论这件事(hold secret meetings to discuss the issue)。这些学生担心弟弟妹妹会分走自己独享的父母宠爱(steal their parents exclusive love)。

有话题就会有相关词汇，这就要求大家在平常的学习中多多积累，这样到用了时候心中自然就有丘壑。同时也可以扩充相关词汇，如：流动人口mobile population;独生子女家庭only child family;生育时间表birth time schedule;备孕plan for pregnancy。

二胎政策实施过程中，也给社会带来了一定的影响。这一部分探讨也可以作为作文的写作素材。如全面二孩政策(universal two-child policy)出台后，中国内地主要城市三居室或四居室的大户型房子(large three or four-bedroom homes)销量攀升。北京和上海等城市的很多夫妇正在搜寻居住环境更佳的大房子(hunt for larger homes with a better environment)，为家里添丁加口早做准备。据估计，新的生育政策将使未来5年内多增加1700万新生儿(extra 17m babies being born within the next five years)。

参考范文：Aging of the Population

Population officials and demographers have much to worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion of people aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century, people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population — that means one out of every four people will be senior!

The aging population poses a serious challenge to families and the society. On the one hand, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline in working force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to some extent.

The rapidity of the population’s aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. There is no doubt that the key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What’s more, family care and community-based services should also be encouraged.

参考译文：

人口官员和人口统计学家担心中国日益老化的人口。据估计,在中国60岁以上的人口比例将上升到2020年的11.8%。到本世纪中叶,年龄超过60岁的人将占总人口的27.4%,这意味着每四个人中就有一个将高级!

老年人对家庭和社会造成严重的挑战。一方面,随着家庭变得较小,生活节奏不断升级,甚至严重的家庭照顾年龄成员充分。另一方面,老化导致工作相对衰落的力量。因此,整个社会的生产力将受到影响在某种程度上。

人口老龄化的速度使采取应对措施变得更为紧迫。毫无疑问,解决问题的关键是建立稳固的经济基础。与此同时,应该重视整体的社会进步,改变落后的状况在社会保障、福利和服务。除此之外,应该鼓励家庭照料和社区服务。

As in modern times of birth control being the basic policy of China,core families made of 3 people in which the parents were born after 1980 have a heavy burden of lives.That is to say,they have parents,father-in-law and mother-in-law,grand parents to care and a child to bring up which means two ones have to care 6 olders and bring up one child.It is such a big burden for a family two of whom are workers, when they have to pay for the housing loan , work and care for the olders.Especilly for those who get married not long ,whose olders coming from countries and having no insurance, the burden is more heavy.

In the tranditional culture of China, married conditions of men are different from women.Generally,men should collect enough money and give a wedding feast.This has accomplished an actuality ,if you have a girl baby,you just have to bring her up,and if you have a boy baby,you have to prepare rather many lots of money which you will have earned all your life to pay for your son’ house and his wedding,besides bringing him up.A jok has described the state lively , your boy baby is called a bank of economic construction you have to construct,while your girl baby is called China Merchants Bank on which you needn’t care too much ,and then someone will invest.As a result ,even if it is allowed to have a second child,families who have had a son would not be willing to have a second one.

Most ones born in 1980s(80s) are singletons which generation had received so much hope and love from their parents.Many coming from rich family are poor in living themselves,and not ready to bear hardships,so that pregnant women in them prefer caesarean birth when they deliver,so as to advoid the serious pain,although it had been proved better in science to bear naturally.The 80s parents even don’t want to pay their attention to the babies who will be taking care of by their grandparents.These mathers don’t want to suffer the pregnant process ,and will be still at the front of the pain,even if they woule like to have second ones.

For the young couples whose ideas are traditional,being like to own a big family,they do like have a second baby,but they can only hang back under the pressure of the cruel reality .For the nation,if it demand contradictions between ageing and low fertility relieved,it should entirely relieve the control of having a second single baby,which will rise the ratio of population steadily.The more important is to have most people share the gain of Reform and Openness,to solve the problem of housing loan of people,turning the commercial residential building into welfare building,to improve and perfect the service system of the society,to improve the medical security ,to narrow the gap between the wealthy and poor,to raise the pay of people.Then, the government needn’t to encourage people to do anything,and they would to have more babies all themselves.

For individual ,if you want a second baby and you are rich ,while your parents have old-age pension and could help bring up baby for you,you may as well have another one.

But if you are in pressure of living,while you parents have no retired pension and are in poor health,you’d better concentrate all your energies on your only baby ,and pay no attention to matter of the second baby ,in which it is the best choice for either you or your baby.

how to solve the energy shortage（如何解决能源短缺问题）

energy shortage is a very serious problem in the world. many people worry that energy resources on the earth will be exhausted if we use them in an unchecked way. this, most people agree, will cause serious problems and even crisis and jeopardize the survival of mankind .

on the one hand, most people agree that the problem can be solved in one way or another. one is to conserve and save our energy. energy refers not only to coal, oil, or natural gases but also to goods, land and water, etc. most countries have realized the wastefulness in their using of energy. they are trying to conserve energy. for example, some countries have a daylight saving system to use less electricity for lighting. some cities have enforced water savers at public such as restrooms and bars. some have enforced serious penalties on overuse of electricity, water, and farming land. by these means, people hope the drain on energy resources could be slowed down.

however, conservation alone cannot solve the problem. another way, perhaps the best i think,, is to develop new energy resources. obviously, no matter how hard we try to save energy resources and how abundant they are, we will use them up sooner or later. i think there are many energy resources that we can develop and utilize. we don’t have to depend only on the current conventional energy resources. there are many other energy resources that we can develop such as nuclear power, waterpower and solar power. these resources, if developed, can completely replace the conventional energy and thus solve the problem of energy shortage.

近年来，中小学生健康问题日益引起人们的关注。请你用英语就该问题谈谈你的看法。

要求：(1)内容包括①列举中小学生面临的健康问题。

② 请谈谈怎样才能保持健康。

(2)字数：60---80词。

(3)短文中不得出现你的真实姓名、学校名和地名。

范文：Every one wants to keep healthy today, especailly our students. But we dont pay attention to our health. Some of them go to school without breakfast in the morning. Some students and pupils play computer games or watch TV all day, espacially at the weekends. Many boys think it is cool to drink or smoke.

It is important for us to have good habbits. We should eat breakfast every morning. We can watch TV or play games for a short time, then have a rest. We also can take part in some clubs. I think it is necessary for us to keep healthy.

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue.

The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.

If we continue to do this,life on earth cannot survive.Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection.

Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air,forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems.

People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems,to use modern methods of birth control,to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.

We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

It has been such a long time for Chinese people to carry out the family plan, so most families only have one child. But now the government has loosen the one-child policy, more and more families have the right to raise the second child. In my opinion, having the second child has many advantages.

中国人实行计划生育已经有很长一段时间了，因此大部分家庭只有一个孩子。但是如今政府放松了一胎政策，越来越多的家庭有权利养育第二个孩子。在我看来，拥有第二个孩子很多好处。

First, it is good for the only child to have a sister or brother, so that the child can learn to share things. The parents are easily to focus their all attention to the only child, they want to give all the things he wants. But in the long run, they don’t realize they have spoiled their child to be an emperor. Selfishness can be found on the only child, if he has a partner, then he will realize the need to share things with others. What’s more, the parents can distract their attention, so they won’t spoil their kids.

第一，对于独生子女来说，有个兄弟姐妹是好的，这样孩子就能学会分享东西。父母很容易会把他们的注意力集中在独生子女身上，他们想要给予孩子所要的一切。但是长期下去，他们没有意识到已经把孩子宠溺成了一个皇帝。独生子女很容易自私，如何他有一个伙伴，就会和别人分享东西的需要。而且，父母也会分散他们的注意力，这样就不会宠溺孩子。

Second, since in Chinese tradition the old people would not like to spend their later life in the nursing house, two children can share the burden of taking care of the parents and support them when they grow old. Those only children would be exhausted then while they have their own family to take care.

第二，由于在中国的传统里老年人们不愿意在养老院安度晚年，两个孩子也能分担一下照顾和赡养年老父母的压力。而那些独生子女们还要照顾自己的家庭，会力不从心。

Third, the more kids in the family, the happier the family will be. Watching the children play and fight is a kind of fun for the parents. The lively phenomenon makes people feel happy.

第三，家中越多的孩子，家庭就会更加的幸福。看着孩子们玩耍和吵架，对父母来说也是一种乐趣。热闹的环境让人感到开心。
