Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home How about the teenagers in big cities Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it.We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.
School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.
Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.
When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.
Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house.They may take out the trash,walk the dog or sweep the floor.In return,some kids get money or other rewards from their parents,such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores.One of them is Jane Smith,a parenting educator and family coach.She believes if kids get rewards,they may think that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return.For example,kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty.But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.
“Every house is a team effort,” Jane said.“A home is a living space for everyone in the family.It’s important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”
Other people hold different opinions.They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores.It also teaches them real world lessons.They can learn about how we work to make money.
Now,there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores.The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in life.With the app Chore Monster,kids earn digital points after doing chores.Kids can exchange their points for real rewards,such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage kids,so they can earn rewards,” says Joe Black,founder of Chore Monster.

Should teenagers help their parents do chores If you want to be an independent(独立的)one, or you don't want your parents to be too tired, do chores at home.

On weekdays she gets up, has meals, goes to school, has lessons,comes back home, does homework and goes to bed. While on weekends, she only plays with her friends. So she doesn't know how to do chores.

The Earth has warmed by about half a degree(0.5℃)over the last 100 years. It could be getting warmer on its own，but many scientists think that people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect(温室效应)．The greenhouse effect is important. Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for humans，plants and animals.
Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth's temperature by sending greenhouse gases into the air. We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games，wash or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish(waste) from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases.
Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather. This can cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water.
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants, endangering many animals.
Global warming(全球变暖) is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don't do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.
( )51. Which of the following does not send greenhouse gases into the air
A．Turning on a light. B．Walking to school.
C．Driving a car. D．Watching TV.
( )52. In this passage, the scientists are mainly trying to make the readers realize______.
A．the earth could be getting warmer by itself

A．not be able to live B．be safer
C．have a cleaner earth D．have a better world
( )54. The writer gives us advice on how to save energy in________.
A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 4 D．Paragraph 5
( )55. Global warming is a big problem but ________.
A．we can't do anything to help B．we don't need to do anything
