Children should do housework. That’s a controversial (有争议的) idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will say that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us believe in our children, but the housework just doesn’t get done.
That’s a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being.
One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best thing for young adults’ success in their mid-20s was whether they took part in housework at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.
But for all that their help matters, few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids “more responsible”. Yet only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.
Sports and homework are not get-out-of-housework-free cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance.
What should you do when getting children to do housework Accept no excuses. Don’t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you’re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you’re doing it right. Can a payment help Maybe. But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message.
24.What can we infer from the first paragraph
A.Very few children get housework done. B.Children are very busy with housework.
C.Housework is a must-do for parents. D.Family members should respect each other.
25.What do we know about the small study in paragraph 3
A.Housework helps a man live a happy life. B.A man’s success depends on his housework.
C.Housework benefits a sense of responsibility. D.A child must start doing housework at age 3.
26.What does the author advise parents to do in the last paragraph
A.Balance housework and study. B.Help the child do housework positively.
C.Do housework by themselves. D.Pay the child for doing housework.
27.What is the text mainly about
A.Adults do less housework at home in the US. B.It is important for children to do housework.
C.Parents should do housework for their children. D.Children need more time to do sports at home.
Glitter has long been a staple of the primary classroom. Space topic art project Time to break out the glitter. Making cards to send home to parents Glitter is necessary.
And yet, recent research suggests that glitter is actually bad for the environment. Several schools have even proposed a ban on using glitter in the classroom as a result.
The problem is that microplastics, including glitter, do not break up. When these small plastic are washed down the drain and reach the ocean, they can be eaten by fish,seabirds and other marine life, causing them harm. Now, as a measure to protect marine environments, scientists such as Dr Trisia Farrelly have gone so far as to suggest that “all glitter should be banned”.
Is a ban on glitter really necessary Kevin O'Brien, Year 6 teacher, said, “I believe it to be a good idea if only to reduce the mess and wastage caused from its use. Many a time I have been told off by my cleaner.” However, Gaynor Bright, a teacher, believes that “Banning glitter in schools won't make a huge difference,” she says. “Producing environmentally safe glitter is the answer.” One thing that O'Brien and Bright agree on, though, is that children should be taught about the harmful impact plastic has on our environment.
Would schools be willing to accept the change Of the l,092 nursery workers surveyed, only 22 percent were in favour of banning glitter. O'Brien points out that it is perhaps not down to teachers' desire for the glitter, but “I would suggest that there are many more important issues such as a finance for schools, teacher pay and workload that are much more important than whether glitter should be banned or not,” he says.
“A ban on glitter is a step too far,” Gaynor says, “Education, not banning, is the only way to get our next group of potential adults and leaders to think carefully about their environmental impact.”
28.Why do some schools not allow using glitter
A.It costs students too much money. B.It is littered everywhere at schools.
C.It does harm to the environment. D.It does harm to students' health.
29.The attitude of Kevin towards the ban of glitter is ________.
A.Neutral B.Doubtful C.unconcerned D.supportive
30.Who does Gaynor Bright think should be responsible for glitter
A.Producers. B.Students. C.Teachers. D.Parents.
31.Which of the following is cared least by most schools
A.Teacher pay. B.The ban of glitter. C.Workload. D.A finance for school.

Two-way communication is a process by which two people or groups are able to communicate with each other in a reciprocal(相互的)way. This means that one person or group expresses an idea, which is received by the other person or group. 36
The basic idea behind two-way communication is that there are two parties involved and each one is able to express itself and receive information from the other. 37 Radio or television is such an example.
38 Face-to-face contact occurs as two or more people are gathered together within the same space and can talk to each other directly. Using the telephone to promote two-way communication can be quite effective. Letters, emails and text messages also can be useful.
In marketing or public relations, there are two basic processes that are often referred to as two-way communication. Asymmetric(不对称的)communication occurs between two parties. 39 This is typically used when a large company expresses different ideas to the general public.
Symmetric two-way communication, on the other hand, occurs between two parties that are equals within the process. A company uses it to allow customers to provide feedback(反馈). 40 Besides, it’s also beneficial to the company.
A.This kind of communication has two forms.
B.This often allows the customer to feel more powerful.
C.One of them has more “control” over the process.
D.There are different ways people join in two-way communication.
E.The receiver returns with a message that is then received by the speaker.
F.A teacher uses it to encourage students to put forward their different opinions.
G.This is in contrast to communication in which only one party is able to express itself.

U. S. Scientist Join Hop field and British-CanadianGeoffrey Hintonwon the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for discoveries and inventions hat laid the foundation for machine learning, the award-giving body said on Tuesday. Hinton has been widely credited as a godfather of artificial intelligence and made headlines when he 56 (quit) his job at Google last year to be able to more easily speak about the dangers of the technology he had pioneered. “We have no experience 57 it will be like to have things smarter than us,” Hinton said to the Nobel press conference, “It’s going to be wonderful in many respects, in areas 58 healthcare,” Hinton said. “But we also have to worry about a number of possible bad consequences. Particularly the threat of these things getting out of control.”
Hop field, 91, a professor emeritus (名誉退休的) at Princeton University, created an associative memory 59 can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data, the Royal Sweaisn-Academy of Sciences, which awards the prize, said.
“This year’s two Nobel laureates in physics have used tools from physics 60 (develop) methods that are the properties of today’s powerful machine learning,” the academy said in a statement. “Machine learning 61 (base) on artificial neural networks is currently revolutionizing science, engineering and daily life,” The award comes with a prize sum of 11 million Swedish crowns ($1.1 million) which 62 (share) by the two winners.
British-born Hinton, 76, invented a method that can autonomously find patterns in data and carry out tasks such as identifying specific elements in pictures, the academy added.
Though he quit Google in 2023 after realizing computers could become smarter than people far sooner than he and other experts had expected, Hinton said the company 63 acted very responsibly. Hinton also said that he regretted some of his research, but 64 he acted on the information he had at the time. “In the same circumstances I would do the same again,” he told the Nobel press conference, “ 65 I am worried that the overall consequence of this might be systems more intelligent than us that eventually take control.”

“I don’t get it, Pete,” Janet said to her cousin. “Why do you fish at Murphy’s pond if old Mrs. Murphy is a witch (女巫) ”
“The fishing’s great… And the old Murphy house is over a hill behind the pond,” Pete replied. “We’ll be okay… As long as we stay away from the house,” he continued in a low voice. “They say kids who go into that house are never seen again!”
After they got to the pond, witches were forgotten. Pete sat on the old dock and threw out his line. Suddenly Janet saw something shining in the water and stepped forward for a closer look. The rotting (腐朽的) wood of the dock broke under her. “H-e-l-l-p!” She screamed as she dropped down into the dark, cold water.
Pete jumped in to help her. “Quiet down!” He said out of breath as they got to the rocky shore. “You’re not hurt. If you keep complaining, you’ll wake the witch!” Then he screamed. “OUCH-H-H!” and lifted his foot. There was a deep cut on the bottom of his foot from a sharp rock!
“Oh, Pete, you’re hurt!” Janet cried. “I’ll go for…” But before she could say Help, she saw an old woman coming toward them. Without a word, the woman picked up Pete and carried him up the hill. A cold, wet, and confused Janet followed. She was frightened but had a strange feeling that the old woman meant no harm.
At the top of the hill, the woman walked to ward an old house. “Oh, p-p-please, Ma’am,” a frightened Pete begged, “Please don’t go there. That’s where the w-w-witch lives!”
“That is my home, young man,” the woman said softly, “Do not be afraid.” At the front door, she said to Janet, “Please open the door.” Janet did, and the three went inside. Mrs. Murphy gently put Pete on a couch (睡椅), then disappeared into another room.

M: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. “Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,” biologist student Hannah told the broadcaster. The youngsters’ feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. It has caused a great threat to the birds. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country. It will make a big difference to the conservation of birds across the country.
11.C 12.B 13.B
【原文】I am an animal lover. The other day, I went to a park in which there was a huge bird nest, the size of a football field. The nest is as tall as a four-story building. It allows birds of all kinds to live with much more freedom than the traditional small birdcage. Within the nest, visitors can see different birds walk or fly freely everywhere without being afraid of people. There is a lake in the middle of the bird nest. Wild ducks and white swans swim on the lake, looking for food thrown down by visitors. Before I left the bird nest, I attended a bird show, in which some birds were trained to speak, some to play basketball and some to ride bikes. Of course, they are toy balls and bikes, very small. I liked the show very much.
