二、阅读理解
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.

12．The underlined word “harsh” here means “_________” in Chinese.
A．严厉的 B．幼稚的 C．纵容的 D．嚣张的
13．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

A．won’t give the children pocket money B．will ask her mother-in-law to do it

A．Parents should protect children B．Children should do housework

B
Should children do chores Some people think that children should not do chores, but many experts believe that children can benefit（受益）from doing chores. They can learn problem-solving and independence from doing chores.
However, most experts agree that the chores should fit the children. For example, young children shouldn’t wash the dishes or take out the rubbish. However, they can do the chores like picking up toys, putting books in the bookcase…to keep the home tidy. In fact, young children usually would like to do chores because they like doing what Mom or Dad does, and that helps them feel more grown-up.
As the children grow older, many experts advise giving them more difficult chores like washing the dishes and walking the dog. However, children usually do not want to do the chores. The middle school students may spend more than two hours a night on their homework. Perhaps more chores on the weekend, not on weekdays can be helpful.
16．Which chore is the best for 5-year-old Lisa
A．Washing the dishes. B．Picking up toys. C．Taking out the rubbish. D．Washing the clothes.
17．Why would young children like to do chores
A．Because they like to grow up. B．Because they like to walk the dog.
C．Because they think that chores are easy. D．Because they like to learn from their parents.
18．What’s the best time for a middle school student to do chores
A．On Monday night. B．On Friday morning. C．On Friday afternoon. D．On Sunday morning.
19．According to the passage, we can infer ________.
A．young children shouldn’t do chores
B．children don’t like to grow up
C．parents should give children money to do chores
D．the middle school students have little time to do chores on weekdays

44．范文
We should do chores at home
Now many students don’t like doing chores at home. Some students think it’s the parents’ job to do chores at home and that doing chores is a waste of their time. But I think we should help do chores at home because our parents are busy with their work and often tired after work. I often do chores at home, like making the bed, watering flowers, cleaning the rooms, taking out the rubbish and so on.
In my opinion, doing chores is relaxing. And it feels great to help my parents.
