人教新目标八下 Unit 3 Could you please clean your room 阅读题专练
一、阅读单选
When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.
This is the finding of a 40-year study than followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. “Children who worked in the home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of society.” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家)who made the study. “And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.”
Brown’s study followed these children in great information. They made the study about the children at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared (比较)the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the underpinnings (基础)of emotional (情感的) health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The mast competent (合格的) adults are those who know how to do this.
Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”

三、阅读回答问题
Mitchell Wollen, 15, is a good swimmer and a second-year student at a high school in US. When swimming stopped and the school shut down because of the COVID-19, he found that he had a lot of free time.
“My friend and I were brainstorming (集思广益) ,” said Wollen. “We thought we’d make these hearts for people on the frontline who are doing everything for us.”
Wollen first made a red wooden heart with the words “Thank You” painted on the front. His mother Julie posted a picture of the heart online on April 5.
After that, Wollen didn’t have any more free time. He had 100 orders for his heart signs in the first week. He had to cut out the signs with a knife, paint them and deliver (寄送) them.
When online learning started up at the school, Wollen had to do schoolwork for six or seven hours a day before finding time to work on the signs.
Wollen has asked people to donate whatever they can for the signs. So far, he’s raised about 1,600 dollars, which he will use to buy meals for medical workers.
He’s talked with workers at Gaylord Hospital in Wallingford. His mother has a friend with a coffee truck, so he pays the people who run the truck to go to Gaylord and give the workers free coffee.
“Everybody’s having a hard time right now,” he said. “I just want to help those who are struggling in these times.”
