When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table.On the cards, there are some words like these, “Sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help Mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom” and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday.Then they would hang them on the weekday task board.Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”.Robert loves to make the bed, so he picked up his favorite card.Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”.Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.
To help the children do chores, their mother thought hard and came_up_with this idea.Of course, the parents did the chores at weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.

My grandmother has an “uncanny” (不可思议的) ability. She always asks me to do something else when I am studying.
One day, when I was working on my computer, she came to me and said, “Sarah, get off that computer and help me with lunch.” So I went to the kitchen and did as what she asked.
Seeing this, she said, “Good. Don't you feel good when helping with the housework instead of (而不是) staying in front of that computer all day?”
I tried my best to tell her I was in fact not playing at all, “Grandma, my major (专业) is computer science. That means I have to do my schoolwork on a computer.”
After that day, I started putting a sign on my door when I was studying.
But my grandmother spoke loudly every time she saw the sign, “Well, Sarah is studying. The computer is more important than having a meal with her family! And I shouldn't interrupt her when I know she's in front of that computer, anyway!”
I knew that Grandma didn't blame (责怪) me for not doing housework. She just didn't understand “computers” and didn't think that they could help me find a good job. But I really hoped she could understand me one day.
6.What's Sarah's major
A.Chinese. B.Computer science.
C.Art. D.Math.
7.What does the underlined word “interrupt” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese
A.警告 B.相信 C.打扰 D.警惕

A.Sarah hated to do housework
B.Sarah needed to do her schoolwork on a computer

D.Sarah didn't understand why her grandmother always blamed her.
