Born as the only child in the family, I am the “king” of the family. My parents are both businessmen and they come home every two weeks. Because they don't spend much time with me，they always feel guilty (内疚的) and will buy me many expensive things and let me do whatever I want. My grandparents never let me do any chores because they want me to do my schoolwork.
I used to take everything for granted (理所当然) and I never said “thank you” to people. As time went by，I found that my classmates didn't like me and my best friends left me. One day，I asked Leo, who used to be one of my best friends. He said that I was mean (自私的)，rude and bad-tempered (坏脾气)．“No one wants to make friends with a person who always receives but never gives anything！”he said. I was shocked at his words. “Oh，no! Please don't leave. I need friends! I will be lonely and unhappy without friends！” I locked myself up in the room and cried. “I want my friends back. But how？”
Then I noticed that all the popular kids in the class are friendly to others. They always smile and say “thank you” to others. They do whatever they can to help when others are in trouble. Other kids like them and always play with them. “I need to change! I will get my friends back,” I said to myself. From then on，I started to change myself. I learned to say “thank you” to others，I smiled and volunteered to help other kids. I tried to be as nice as I could. Gradually, I found that other kids liked to talk with me and they would ask me to play with them and even told me their secrets. My friends came back to me again.
Now I have more friends than I used to have and I am happier than I used to be.

Andrew Carnegie—the King of Steel（钢铁）,was born in 1835, in Scotland. In 1848, his family moved to America to look for a better chance for making money. Andrew Carnegie had a few years’ schooling. He worked from an early age.
In the early 1870s, Carnegie built his first steel company with others. Over the next few years, he built his own steel industry in the US, and became one of the wealthiest men in America.
Carnegie believed that people should win success through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the rich should use their money for the improvement and development of the society. He didn’t agree to always provide help for the poor. He thought it was important to provide educational chances to allow the poor to help themselves.
His more contributions（贡献） to society include the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh. It has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also built a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other contributions to society are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to develop understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to provide money for scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

Susan Boyle was born as the ninth child in a Catholic family. She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mother’s poor health.
School was difficult for Susan and she was bulled(凌辱) because of her different behaviour. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical heroes on the walls and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.
One by one her brothers and sisters moved away from home and then Susan’s father died. This left her alone with an old mother and a cat. She tried volunteer work. Her best state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation(欣赏)from the crowd.
When Susan announced at Christmas that she was planning to take part in the Britain’s Got Talent competition, her brothers and sisters tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition(试唱) considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.
The Woman I Was Born to Be is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her story from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner.
I love this book ! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day! There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also encourage us to reach for our dreams—no matter how impossible they may seem to be!

Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of “the two-child policy (政策)”? Everyone knows the one-child policy. It was a population control method in our country. Chinese government wanted to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood that and followed this policy for nearly 40 years.
However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are mainly about:
●The number of workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012. The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020.
●China is now getting into an aging society. There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctors and nurses to take care of them.
●The population of China will become smaller and smaller if one-child policy goes on. It's the main reason that leads to the two problems above.
That’s why Chinese government began the two-child policy on January 1st, 2016. It allows each family to have two children. The government hopes it can help solve those social problems gradually (逐渐地). This policy will help offer enough workers in the future.
