Sam hated doing chores. And he had many chores. For example, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he took out the rubbish. And on weekends he always washed his father’ s car. He a1so cleaned his own room once a week. What a chore that was! Sometimes he even had to look after his little sister and brother.
Sam had a foreign friend at school. His name was Kumar. Doing chores in Kumar’ s family was very different. In the house only the girls did chores. His sisters made all the beds and cleaned all the rooms too, even his bedroom. His mother always cooked the meals, and his sisters helped her to go shopping, and prepare the food. They worked hard at home, doing all the chores with their mother. So when Kumar talked to his friend Sam about chores, he felt very lucky.
One day, Sam had an idea. He asked Kumar, “Could I borrow your sisters?” He wanted them to help him clean his room, but they said “no”. Instead (相反), they asked Sam to teach their brother how to do chores, so he could make his own bed.
Sam and Kumar are very good at science. They are going to be scientists after university. They want to make a robot to do the chores. Then everyone — mothers and fathers, sons and daughters — will be happy!

Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.
Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.
But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities(责任) in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards，” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”
( )31. Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．Washing the dishes. B．Cooking meals.
C．Folding the clothes. D．Making the bed.
( )32. The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “________”．
A．as a reward B．for punishment C．on sale D．under control
( )33. What's Walton's idea in the passage?
A．Running exercise is a kind of team work.
B．People work to get some rewards.
C．Kids have responsibilities in the house.
D．Doing the housework is only the parents' job.
( )34. According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ________．
A．do housework without rewards B．do more housework
C．stay away from housework D．do housework by getting rewards
( )35. Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Kids Should Study and Doing Housework
B．Let Children Do Some Housework
C．Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework?
D．Doing Housework Is Good for Children's Study
C
Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs. Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.
Here is an example.
“Mom, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!”
When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom” and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.
To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.
( )36. From the passage we know that most children like ________.
A．doing housework B．playing computer games
C．playing cards D．doing housework
( )37. Jim and Robert chose ________ card for the weekdays from Monday to Friday.
A．two B．four C．eight D．ten
( )38. Jim likes to ________．
A．clean the bathroom B．make the bed
C．feed the fish D．sweep the floor
( )39. The underlined phrase “came up with” probably means “________”.
A．looked at B．gave up C．thought of D．believed in
( )40. Who did the housework on the weekends?
A．Jim B．Robert C．The parents D．The whole family

第六节 书面表达
Dear Wang Lei,
I’ m writing to talk to you about the chores. You think doing chores is boring, but I don’ t think so. When you are doing chores, you use your hands and head. This can make you smarter. And your parents are busy working all day. If you help them do chores, they can have more time to relax. Besides, it is necessary for us to learn some basic life skills, such as cooking and doing the dishes. Do you think so?
Yours,
Joe
