ling, 11, is a leftbehind child. her parents have been working in zhejiang for 10 years, while she lives with her grandparents in guangdong. she was reunited with her parents last spring festival. as the number of migrant workers in china increases, the number of leftbehind children is rising fast. li is one of the 61.02 million leftbehind children under 17. they account for 37.7 percent of rural children and 21.88 percent of all chinese children.“the large number of leftbehind children has already become a social issue. if left unsolved, it will cause serious problems，” wang zhenyao, director of the china philanthropy research institute, told china daily. the education level of adults supervising(监督)these children is generally not that high. they can only take care of the childrens personal safety and daily living, being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs. meanwhile, the absence of parental support will make some leftbehind children lack selfconfidence. they may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers. others may even become “problem youths”to solve this problem, the government is taking action. for instance, 30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are. however, wang suggested that the country do more, such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns. he also said that a wellbalanced child welfare system is needed. “these children are the future of the nation, so they deserve our loving care and protection，” wang said.1leftbehind kids hardly see their parents because _.athey are poor and in rural areasbthey are brought up by their grandparentsctheir parents are making a living in other

she inherited a company in good shape.five years after bankruptcy(破产)，its profits were beyond expectations and its share price was rising. but the new bosss todo list was long：fixing gms lossmaking european arm, keeping up momentum (势头) in china amid signs of a slowdown and giving new life to the product line.the former ceo, dan akerson，warned her that she would also face unexpected challenges.the first has arrived sooner than she might have expected.what appeared to be a routine recall (召回) of about 800,000 older models, linked to a faulty ignition (点火) switch, has turned out to be anything but. the number of cars recalled has leapt to more than 2.6 million. the companys clumsy handling of a safety problem that first became apparent a decade ago is now linked to the deaths of at least 13 motorists.called before congress to answer for gms failings ms barra said she was “deeply sorry” but insisted that the postbankruptcy “new gm” was not like the “old gm ”， which had failed to deal with the ignition switches for years. politicians and the public alike want to know how such a problem could have remained unaddressed for so long.cars are becoming ever more complex machines, with thousands of mechanical and electronic parts. last year it happened to 22 million vehicles in america, compared with 18 million in 2012.in fact, gm was one of only three brands that recalled fewer vehicles than it sold. minor problems, like squeaks (吱吱响) or rattles (卡嗒响), that do not affect safety are more common still. they may be fixed at a routine service; the owner may never know. the growing number of recalls is proof to an improving system for picking up faults.but it is very complicated. dealers must record replacements of parts under warranty (保修). the carmaker needs to spot the trend, recognize it as a problem and then determine whether or not it is a design fault that requires an extensive replacement. it relies on accurate recording of every warranty replacement in every region. this system appears to have broken down at “old gm ”. ms. barra needs to find out why.the core problem is a widely used ignition switch that has a tendency to slip from the “on” position to “off” if a driver uses a heavy keychain or bounces down a rough road. an improvement was made in 2008 to prevent the problem, which can lead to the engine shutting off, disabling the airbags. but despite a growing list of crashes and deaths, gm failed to order a recall for a component that would have cost a few dollars at most.this is odd. most carmakers want to identify and fix problems speedily despite having to bear the cost of buying and fitting a new component. a small part can do great harm, if bad publicity leads to reputational collapse, lost sales and law suits, including heavy penalties.appearing to put profits before safety is an invitation to battering a firms shares, as gm has discovered.so far ms. barra has handled the situation well. she seems to have acted as soon as she found out something was wrong. gm has appointed a worldwide safety president to cut through the process that may have delayed investigation and action. and in a sweeping housecleaning, gm has recalled another 2 million vehicles in america alone. gm looks set to accept moral, if not legal, responsibility. the terms of its exit from bankruptcy give immunity to lawsuits for injuries arising beforehand. but gm is likely to compensate survivors and victims families anyway.it is not yet clear how much of a hammering gm will take. but hours before ms. barras meeting with congress, the insurance institute for highway safety issued a greatly desired “top safety pick” for the new chevrolet malibu, one of a growing number of wellreceived cars from gm.5when mary barra took
