Our government has raised the child limit for couples from two to three as the country experiences lower birth rates. For many years, China applied a one-child policy as a way (control) the population. But that policy (replace) in 2016 by a two-child limit. That change was aimed at raising the number of births (gradual). But birth rates have further decreased in recent years as the cost of raising children in Chinese cities remains high.
The latest measure to permit three children per family is meant "to actively deal the aging population," the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The policy includes what the government calls "supportive measures", makes it easier for families to have more children of (they) own. The measures include plans to lower educational costs for families and increase tax and housing support. The government also said it would seek to educate young people "on (marry) and love."

The Chinese people take tree planting (serious). President Xi Jinping (join) local residents for tree planting in the capital's suburbs in March this year—his 10th successive (present) at the annual activity since he became China's top leader.

When the People's Republic of China (found) in 1949, forests covered only 8. 6 percent of the country's land area. The constant use of wood for cooking and heating had denuded(使变光秃) forests and reduced the green cover, (result) in environmental deterioration and desertification. It was under such circumstances that China launched national tree-planting campaign to build forest belts. Thanks to nationwide efforts, last year, it was reported that forest cover has increased to 23 percent of the country's land territory, spread over 220 million hectares.
As a leader who in his youth toiled(辛苦工作) a farmer on the almost barren(贫瘠的) Loess Plateau for seven years, Xi knows better than many forests mean to a nation. The concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has become a motto for China's future development.

The Moon's near side, the one we all see, has been the target of many robotic and human missions.However, its far side, also (call)the dark side because it faces away from the Earth and little (know)about it, has never been explored.That changed on Jan.2, 2019, when Chinese spacecraft Chang'e 4 made a soft landing on is often referred to as the dark side.
