Passage 2
Many parents make their children do chores around houses. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. For other families, asking children to do some housework can be a very big problem, especially (尤其) in families with only one child. Because the only child may be spoiled (宠坏) by his or her parents or grandparents.
It is a good idea for parents to tell their children that all family members must work together to make the house clean, and that each person must do his or her share of the work. We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities(责任)when children are young. Just let the children do something that they are able to do. Ask them to do simple chores like cleaning the table, sweeping the floor when you are doing housework.
Doing chores is good for children-even very young ones. Doing some chores teaches children many important skills, such as working together with others and being responsible for what they do.Doing chores can also teach children to help others. The skills and values (价值) they learn by doing chores will benefit them in their lives.
( )36. The first paragraph tells us _______.

every child likes to do chores B. doing chores is good for children

D. children should learn to do chores when they grow up

A. Some children like to do chores but some don’t.
B. It' s not necessary for children to do chores at home.
C. It's a big problem for all families to teach children how to do chores.

( )40. What is the main idea of the passage

Chores were not popular at my house. My children didn't like to do chores. They always saw me do chores, but they hardly ever helped me do them.
A year ago, I made a game called "The Endless Chore Game". It is really great. Here's how the game works.
I make a card with forty squares (方框), and I write a different chore on each square. These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert(甜点). Then my family rolls the dice(骰子) to decide what chores we have to do. The card also has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV. If you are lucky, you can watch TV while the others are doing chores.
My son likes the game very much. He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game. It is really a good way to make my children do chores. You can have a try if you have the same problem with me.
