四、阅读理解(共30分)
A
I have three children and I make them do housework. However, my mother-in-law (婆婆) doesn't agree with me. She thinks I'm much too harsh. In her opinion, it is adults' job to do housework.
I think our family is made up of five family members. No one in the family is more important than others, so each member should help with chores. I don't ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different.
At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don't, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I expect my children to set the table at night and help fold their own clothes. I don't think I'm asking too much.
I know they are tired after a long day's study at school, but that's life—harsh but real. I don't want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I'm not about to start doing it now.
Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant (使人不愉快的) and make their children's lives too comfortable and safe, but I'm not interested in that way. I hope my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early.
26.What can we learn about the writer's mother-in-law
A. She doesn't get on well with the kids.
B. She doesn't like doing housework.
C. She doesn't want the children to do housework.
D. She doesn't want the writer to do housework.
27.The underlined word "harsh" here means "________" in Chinese.

28.When the writer asks her children to do chores, ________.
A. she often asks them to do the hard ones
B. she often asks them to do the easy ones
C. she asks them to do different ones
D. she asks her mother-in-law for advice
29.If the children don't put away their toys, the writer ________.
A. won't give the children pocket money
B. will ask her mother-in-law to do it
C. will just put the toys away by herself
D. will probably throw the toys away
30.The best title for the passage may be "________".
A. Parents should protect children.
B. Children should do housework.
C. Parents shouldn't do housework.
D. Children should understand parents.
B
Don't let your kids drag their feet (拖拖拉拉) over doing chores. Help them to make the boring chores enjoyable.
________ A simple and great way to make cleaning great fun is to do some of it together. Play some beautiful music while you are doing chores. Then you won't feel bored.
Get lucky. If your kids like surprises, write chores on ice-cream and have each kid pick one. Tell them they can change their picks if each of them agrees. In this way, they will have a feeling that they're making a choice (选择).
Make it playtime. Turn "kitchen time" into a party. Let one child be a cook and another be a DJ. The cook chooses what he or she would like to help make for dinner. The DJ chooses the music he or she would like to play. Everyone can dance around the kitchen while preparing dinner or cleaning up the kitchen later.
Find more difficult chores. One of my friends was trying to get her kids to help out around the house, and someone advised her to give the kids some things like candies or toys as rewards. The plan worked like magic. However, rewards usually don't work for long because kids will be bored with doing the same chores all the time. At this time, give them some difficult chores. If they're already used to helping clean the cage of the pet, make it harder by having them clean it all by themselves. Then, ask them to clean it faster.

Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers.
The first story is from Ray. "My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to ' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."
The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild 'Mom' cockatoo(鹦鹉)from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo. 'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily."
After reading the stories, don't you think we should get along well with animals No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should respect every life in the world.
36.______ is the owner of the cat.
A. Becky B. Julius C. Colin D. Ray
37.The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to the ______.
A. phone B. cat C. iPad D. bed
38."Mom" cockatoo didn't return to the wild because ______.
A. Julius caught it as a pet
B. She was badly hurt and couldn't fly
C. she preferred the life in the cage
D. "Dad" cockatoo built a home in the tree
39.The main idea of the passage is that ______ .
A. Ray, Becky and Colin are animal lovers
B. we shouldn't use iPad too much
C. friends should help each other
D. we should respect every life in the world
40.In which part of a newspaper would you probably read the passage
A. Sports news. B. People and animals.
C. Health. D. Travel.

Should we teenagers help our parents do chores Is it important (51) us to learn how to do chores I think (52) . Most of the teenagers like (53) (we) students are the only child in each family.

Hello, everyone! I'm Li Hua. As a member of the family, I think it's my job to do the housework. I often help my parents with the housework in my free time.
I like sweeping the floor and I help sweep the floor every Saturday. When I see the clean floor, I always feel happy. What's more, I take out the rubbish every day because it's easy. However, I don't like doing the dishes. It's so boring.
In a word, I think we students should help do chores. It's a good way for us to exercise and we can learn many things from it.
