Are you tired after studying hard？American country music will take you away for a while. The guitars and songs will take you to mountains and fields there.

Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of the American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love，crops(庄稼) or death.

When people moved to towns and cities to look for work，they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

Do you dream of having a sister or brother？According to the recent CCTV news report，China has relaxed its onechild policy (政策) to twochild policy. The government has allowed families to have two children.
Tencent did a survey last week about the twochild policy. On the one hand，up to 53% of parents say they are willing to have a second child. “I am excited about hearing the news. To have two kids means the children can look after each other in the future. Not only can they have a partner to play with，but they can also learn to help one another. This helps them to develop a better personality. I think I won't miss the chance to own a second kid，” says Li Mei，a mother of a 5yearold daughter from Shanghai.
On the other hand，about 40% of parents say they may not have a second child. One reason is that they are afraid that the child's everyday expenses (费用) and education would be a big problem. They couldn't afford them. “I think the policy itself is pretty good，but I don't think it interests me. I won't consider a second child. Everything is very expensive at present，and I find it very difficult to raise another child，” says Han Dong from Chongqing，who has just had a boy.
Though people have different opinions，they agree that China has made great progress already in the twochild policy.
