三、阅读理解
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 (报酬) 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 place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility (责任) 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 need to work to make money.
Now，there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster，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，the founder of ChoreMonster.
“Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores. ”
( )1. Jane Smith thinks that ________.
A. housework isn't worth doing
B. kids are not willing to do chores
C. kids should get something in return
D. kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores
( )2. ChoreMonster is a(n) ________.
A. educator B. coach C. app D. app founder
( )3. If rewarded for doing chores，kids can learn to ______.
A. take responsibilities
B. use apps well
C. make money through work
D. understand team effort
( )4. What's the purpose(目的)of the apps mentioned in the passage？
A. To give kids points and gifts.
B. To encourage kids to do chores.
C. To exchange points for real rewards.
D. To give kids advice on doing chores.
( )5. The passage mainly talks about ________ .

Let's help our parents do chores
Dear students，
Helping our parents do chores is one of the best ways to care about them. Our parents are always busy with work. They are tired after work, but they still have to do chores. If we help them do some chores, they'll have more time to rest. And sharing housework can help us understand our parents better. So we should help them do housework as much as we can. In fact, we can help do lots of chores at home. For example, we could make the bed, clean up the room, wash clothes, do the dishes and take out the rubbish.
Doing chores is not difficult, but it means a lot. From now on, let' help our parents do chores.
