Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash.In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores.Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, 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 household is a team effort,” Susie said.“A home is a living space for everyone in the family.It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money.There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world.With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster.“Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them.”

When everything goes wrong,always look at what you have,instead of what you have lost.Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts;it’s what you do with what you have left. 1
Pain is part of growing.
Sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward. 2 When times are tough,remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose.Remember that there are two kinds of pain:pain that hurts and pain that changes you.When you roll with life,instead of resisting it,both kinds help you grow.

Every time you get hurt,you heal.After darkness there is always light—you are reminded of this every morning,but still you often forget,and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever.It won’t.Nothing lasts forever.
Complaining changes nothing.
4 It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.It’s not over if you’ve lost;it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it.If you believe in something,keep trying.Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.
The best thing you can do is to keep going.
Don’t be afraid to get back up—to try again,to love again,to live again,and to dream again.Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart.Life’s best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes.There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. 5
A.Everything in life is temporary.
B.And even if you fall short,keep going.
C.Your scars are symbols of your strength.
D.Those who complain the most,accomplish the least.
E.Here are a few tips to inspire you when you need it most.
F.That’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless life forces us to.
G.When you feel like quitting,remember that sometimes things can be right eventually.

二、阅读理解
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,许多孩子在家里帮忙做家务,比如清空洗碗机,把衣服收起来,然后把垃圾拿出去。作为交换,有些孩子得到津贴或其他奖励,如额外的计算机时间。因此,作者是通过陈述事实来开启文章的,故选A项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中Susie所说的话 “A home is a living space for everyone in the family.It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house ...”可知,Susie认为孩子们有分担家务的责任,故选C项。
3.D 段落大意题。根据第三段内容特别是开头句Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money.可知,第三段主要说的是奖励孩子做家务的好处,故选D项。
4.A 写作意图题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是邀请读者发表意见。故选A项。
三、七选五
1.E 根据下文小段主旨“Pain is part of growing;Complaining changes nothing;The best thing you can do is to keep going”可知,文章接下来会给读者一些建议。由此可知,E项符合文意。
2.F 根据上文“Sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward.”可知,痛苦可能是让我们前进的好事。由此可知,F项符合文意。
3.A 根据下文“After darkness there is always light—you are reminded of this every morning,but still you often forget,and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever.It won’t.Nothing lasts forever.”可知,生活中没有什么是永恒不变的。由此可知,A项适合作本段主旨。
4.D 根据本段主旨“Complaining changes nothing”及下文“It’s not over if you’ve lost;it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it.”可知,抱怨改变不了什么,只知道抱怨,不去尝试的话,那什么也收获不了。由此可知,D项符合文意。
5.B 根据本段主旨“The best thing you can do is to keep going”及下文“Don’t be afraid to get back up—to try again,to love again,to live again,and to dream again.Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart.”可知,你能做的最好的事情就是坚持下去,不要因为失败就停止前进。由此可知,B项符合文意。
四、语法填空
1.that/which 考查定语从句。“make me happy”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the things,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,应使用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
2.to do 考查固定用法。want to do sth.“想要做某事”是固定用法。故填to do。
3.simply 考查副词。位于句首,修饰整个句子,用副词。故填simply。
4.of 考查固定短语。consist of“由……组成”是固定短语。故填of。
5.the 考查固定短语。the same“同样地”是固定短语。故填the。
6.nicer 考查比较级。由“move into a bigger place,and have a bigger TV than my friends”可知,这里应该用比较级。故填nicer。
7.creating 考查非谓语动词。介词after之后,应用动词-ing形式作宾语。故填creating。
8.experiences 考查名词单复数。由were判断出来主语是复数。故填experiences。
9.yourself 考查反身代词。句意:为你自己创造机会并不困难。表示“你自己”,故填yourself。
10.takes 考查主谓一致。此处描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语是第三人称单数,谓语动词也要使用单数形式。故填takes。
