二、阅读理解
Because of COVID 19, many restaurants around the world can't work well and they try to find ways to stay open. A sushi(寿司) restaurant in Japan has a special way.
Masanori Sugiura, a third generation owner(第三代主人) of the 60 year old sushi restaurant Imazushi in the city of Anjo, started exercising at the gym(健身房) when he was in his 20s. He never thought that his hobby would help with his sushi restaurant one day. As a bodybuilder(健美者), he got third place in a competition earlier.
After COVID 19 broke out, Mr. Sugiura's sushi restaurant didn't get many orders. He thought hard and then decided to use bodybuilders to send sushi to people's homes and workplaces.

When the bodybuilders take food to their customers, they try to stay far enough. This helps the sushi restaurant get more orders. Mr. Sugiura says the service also helps some people out of work. His friends from gyms are now working in the sushi restaurant.

My View on Doing the Housework
Nowadays, some parents love their children too much and don't let them do any housework at home.
However, I think students should help their parents do housework at home. In my view, it's our duty to do some housework such as washing our clothes and cleaning our houses. Doing some housework can make us independent. If we learn to do some housework, we can take care of ourselves better. What's more, sharing the housework is helpful for us to set up good relationship with our parents and understand them better. Besides, doing the housework can make us strong and healthy because it is also regarded as a kind of physical exercise.
In short, I think students should often share the housework in their daily life.
