Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time. Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.
But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”
26．Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．Washing the dishes. B．Cooking meals.
C．Folding the clothes. D．Making the bed.
27．The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “________”.
A．as a reward B．for punishment C．on sale D．under control
28．What’s Walton’s idea in the passage
A．Running exercise is a kind of team work.
B．People work to get some rewards.
C．Kids have responsibilities in the house.
D．Doing the housework is only the parents’ job.
29．According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ________.
A．do housework without rewards B．do more housework
C．stay away from housework D．do housework be getting rewards
30．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework
B．Let Children Do Some Housework
C．Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework
D．Doing Housework Is Good for Children’s Study
C

It’s very important for everyone to sleep. We spend about one third of our lives on sleep. So we should sleep well. However, a lot of people have trouble in sleeping. Some people even take sleeping pills (药片) to help them sleep better. In fact, taking sleeping pills is very dangerous. That’s because sleeping pills are habit-forming (上瘾的). Then, what should you do if you have trouble getting a good night’s sleep
Doctors say that the best thing to do is to get out of bad habits. In other words, you can’t stay up too late at night and you should get up earlier in the morning. However, you may still have trouble sleeping if you have problems or something else on your mind. Then it’s time for you to do some exercise to relax your tense muscles (紧绷的肌肉). If relaxing your body can’t help you, you should write down your worries on your mind. If you like listening to music, you can choose some quiet and gentle music. Be sure not to choose some loud music, or you will get so excited that you can’t fall asleep. Remember, choosing proper ways can help you sleep better.

According to the survey, we know most middle school students sleep less than 8 hours each night. Here are the reasons. First, they never make a plan about what they should do every day. Second, stress makes them sleep badly. Third, many students spend too much time on their mobile phones or computer games before sleeping. This is the main reason for bad sleep.
As a result, they feel tired in the day and they can’t study hard. That makes some of the students do badly in their lessons.
So we must do something to solve the problem. First, keep positive and do more sports. Second, students need to keep away from mobile phones or computer games.
All in all, enough sleep is good for us!
