Yi Xiaojing, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Yi took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent’s job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.
Not all Yi’s classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.
The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).
The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one’s mental health.
“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that parents don’t.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.
Liu Hao, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”
But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.

Have you heard about the periodic table (元素周期表) lately? Well, there’s some big news about this special table, but first, remember that the periodic table is used for all the elements（元素）, or things that make up our world.
Elements are all around us. Iron is one of the most common elements found on the earth. You probably know the element oxygen (氧), which is the element that we breathe in all the time. And elements can combine (结合) to make new things like H2O. This is hydrogen (氢) and oxygen put together, also known as water! Learning about these things helps us better understand the world we live in.
But have you ever noticed something missing in the periodic table? There were already 114 elements. But the seventh row of the table was not finished, until now!
In December, scientists from the IUPAC（国际纯粹与应用化学联合会) found the four elements that were missing. They are elements 113, 115, 117 and 118.
“To scientists, this is of greater value than an Olympic gold medal,” Ryoji Noyori, a Nobel honored chemist said.
The new elements are heavy metals and were made in lab. These kinds of elements can’t be found in nature. Scientists are still looking for ways to use these elements, and other elements in the eighth row in our daily lives.
Scientists have been working on this for 10 years, but the work is not done. Now they will prepare to look for “element 119 and beyond”. But for now, be mindful (留心的) when you read your science books because the periodic table might be outdated (过时的).
