For example, they should make their beds and fold their clothes. Third, these days children depend on their parents too much. Doing chores can help children learn how to take care of themselves. And it can help them have good living habits. It’s good for their future. So I believe that children should do chores at home.
Yours truly,
Mandy

【答案】 Agree with doing chores
We’ve had a discussion about doing chores. Some students agree, while others don’t. I think doing chores is good for us. First of all, doing chores can develop students’ independence. In this way, students can do many things by themselves. Second, doing chores can help students learn to look after themselves. Last but not least, doing chores can promote the development of students’ brains and improve their learning ability.
In a word, as students, we should do more chores, which is good for ourselves and our families.

我曾经尝试过做饭，但每次我都会把厨房变成一个烟雾缭绕的战场。现在，我确信我的厨艺唯一能做的就是制作烟雾报警器。
3. 有一次，我决定自己洗衣服。不幸的是，我把红袜子和白衬衫放在了一起。结果，我得到了一件粉色的衬衫和一堆淡红色的袜子。看来我在洗衣方面的创新精神比我想象的要强。
4. 老婆总是说我不会做家务。有一天她不在家，我决定展示一下我的能力。我打扫了整个房子，甚至把家具都重新布置了。当老婆回到家时，她看着我，然后说：“你确定你是打扫了，而不是把家里翻了个底朝天？”
5. 我试图拖地，但每次拖把都会比我先累。我猜它可能是在抗议我让它做的太多工作。

There are certain things you never imagine yourself saying.
“I just got a worm in my eye!” is one of them.
And yet I did say it—I screamed it, actually.
The family was all here and we were in the garden, when I saw a worm nearby. I asked my six-year-old grandson to come over and remove the worm. He picked up the worm, studied it quickly and then threw it into the air.
The worm quickly fell back to earth, landing on my face against my left eyelid. That’s when the screaming started and the jumping up and down.
You know how they say when you meet a small creature, that the small creature is just as afraid of you as you are of it They lie.
The worm showed no fear. I, however, am still having nightmares about the experience, which was several days ago.
The most important thing in all this is that my grandson said he was sorry to me.
I’d just been reading a book that makes a connection between adults doing the slow and hard work of teaching manners to children and greater levels of civility in society.
Table manners, language manners and even manners in dress all show levels of self-control.
Having self-control limits what we say and how we behave, making many of us appear a good deal better than we really are.
Good manners also have the possibility to make mealtime a pleasant experience, even with small children.
All of my grandchildren, except the ones that can’t yet talk, ask to be excused before leaving the table.
It is a sign of respect for others at the table and a sign of respect for the meal itself. It’s also more pleasant than pushing one’s chair back and running for the back yard.
Those tall enough, and even those not tall enough, also take their dishes to the kitchen.
Manners are what civilize us—around our tables, in our families, homes and our communities.
So when a little boy has the courage to apologize to a grandma who is screaming and jumping up and down, at least we know that our years of teaching young people manners are paying off—one worm at a time.
1．Where were they when the author saw a worm
A．In the house. B．In the garden.
C．In the park. D．In the back yard.
2．The worm fell down on the author’s________.
A．leg B．head C．left eyelid D．right eyelid
3．What does the underlined word “nightmares” mean
A．好运 B．噩梦 C．回忆 D．愿望
4．The author believed that his grandson’s apology is________.
A．a good manner B．a bad behavior C．unnecessary D．a must
5．What does the passage tell us
A．The importance of apology. B．The importance of good manners.
C．Many kinds of good manners. D．A story of a worm.
（二）
Our polite, little phrases
Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.
For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight” Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”
These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.
For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest
According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.
However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.
She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.
6．What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words
A．To give a pause.
B．To make them sound more honest.
C．To make an apology.
D．To give thanks.
7．What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”
A．To soften bad or unpleasant news.
B．To soften good news.
C．To give bad or unpleasant news.
D．To make others feel uncomfortable.
8．According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.
A．give a pause
B．use “verbal tee-ups”
C．say it directly
D．say sorry
9．If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.
A．we are honest B．we are polite
C．we are impolite D．we have news to say
10．What’s the passage mainly about
A．“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.
B．“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.
C．Verbal habits.
D．An honest pause.

Be on your best behavior when you’re online
Having good manners is an important part of life. You know that you should never shout in public. But what about when it comes to the online world When you use social media apps, like WeChat and Sina Weibo, you must also remember to mind your manners.
For example, sometimes I need to add a new friend on WeChat. But I haven’t met him or her yet in real life. So when I send them a friend request, I explain who I am and how I got their contact info.
Just like in real life, the key to keeping good manners online is to be thoughtful. But sometimes, people forget this.
One of my friends likes to send really long voice messages on WeChat. It is difficult to keep up with all his messages and remember everything. I think this is a bit bad!
There are many other things that you shouldn’t do on social media. Take a look and remember to do your best to be polite.
· Don’t share your friends’ WeChat contact info with strangers. Ask your friend first before sharing.
· Don’t add someone new to your group chat without asking the other members. They might not want new people to join the group.
· If you use English, don’t use all caps. IF YOU TYPE LIKE THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE SCREAMING. DON’T DO IT.

（2021下·江苏南京八年级单元测试）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 too harsh. In her opinion, parents shouldn’t be too strict with children. It is adults’ job to do housework.
I think our family is made up of five family numbers. 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.

（2021下·安徽宿州八年级月考）Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish. 36 But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something.“Running any kind of family is teamwork,” Walton says.“A home is a living place for everyone in the family. 37 ”
Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what they need to do to make money. There are also apps(应用软件) now. 38 Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. “We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards,” one man says.

Our polite, little phrases
Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.
For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight” Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”
These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.
For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest
According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.
However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.
She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.
6．What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words
A．To give a pause.
B．To make them sound more honest.
C．To make an apology.
D．To give thanks.
7．What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”
A．To soften bad or unpleasant news.
B．To soften good news.
C．To give bad or unpleasant news.
D．To make others feel uncomfortable.
8．According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.
A．give a pause
B．use “verbal tee-ups”
C．say it directly
D．say sorry
9．If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.
A．we are honest B．we are polite
C．we are impolite D．we have news to say
10．What’s the passage mainly about
A．“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.
B．“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.
C．Verbal habits.
D．An honest pause.
【答案】6．B 7．A 8．B 9．C 10．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们在交流时所用到的“缓冲语”。
6．细节理解题。根据“Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.”可知，在某些时候停顿一下，用额外的词语来填充句子，是为了使它们听起来更诚恳。故选B。
7．细节理解题。根据“They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news.”可知，verbal tee-ups可以用来缓和坏消息或不愉快的消息。故选A。
8．推理判断题。根据第六段的描述可以推断，如果我们即将说出一些有潜在破坏性的话，用verbal tee-ups更好。故选B。
9．细节理解题。根据“She could just say: ‘I need an extension’. But that doesn’t ‘feel very polite’ ...”可知，如果我们不用verbal tee-ups，这意味着我们不太礼貌。故选C。
10．主旨大意题。本文通过一些例子，介绍了一种用来缓和坏消息或不愉快的消息的语言习惯——verbal tee-ups，故选A。

（2021下·江苏南京八年级单元测试）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 too harsh. In her opinion, parents shouldn’t be too strict with children. It is adults’ job to do housework.
I think our family is made up of five family numbers. 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.

（2021下·安徽宿州八年级月考）Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish. 36 But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something.“Running any kind of family is teamwork,” Walton says.“A home is a living place for everyone in the family. 37 ”
Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what they need to do to make money. There are also apps(应用软件) now. 38 Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. “We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards,” one man says.
