A
Chores weren’t popular at my house. My children didn’t like to do chores. They always saw me do chores, but they hardly ever helped me to do them.
A year ago, I made a game called “The Endless Chore Game”. It’s really great. Here’s how the game works.
I make a card with forty squares (方框), and I write a different chore on each square. These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert. Then every morning my family roll the dice (骰子) to decide what chores we have to do. The card also has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV and singing. If you’re lucky, you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores.
My son likes the game very much. He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game. It’s really a good way to make my children do chores. You can have a try if you have the same problem as me.
37．What do you need to do“ The Endless Chore Game”
A．A card. B．A dice. C．A card and a dice. D．A card and forty dice.
38．When do the writer’s family do the game
A．In the morning. B．In the afternoon. C．In the evening. D．The other day.
39．What can we learn from the passage

When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward(奖励) It is common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. Kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also says, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all should play our part in keeping our home clean.”
Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards encourage kids to do more chores. Rewarding them also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that they need to work to make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster. With the app, kids get points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.
So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.
40．Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion
A．Don’t ask kids to do housework. B．Don’t give kids rewards for doing chores.
C．Don’t allow kids to play computer games. D．Don’t let children play a part in doing chores.
41．What do people want to teach kids by giving kids rewards for doing chores
A．People need to work to make money.
B．Doing chores is a good way to make money.
C．They can only be allowed to watch TV by doing chores.
D．They must share housework because they live in the same house.
42．Which idea may the writer agree with
A．Parents should give rewards to let their kids do chores.
B．Kids should offer to help with chores at home.
C．Apps are better choices for parents than money.
D．We don’t know what’s the best way to get kids helping.
C
Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house. And some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn’t worth (值得) doing unless they can get something. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. Susie said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that it’s all the family members’ job to keep their homes clean.”
Other people have different opinions (观点). They believe that money or other rewards can encourage (鼓励) kids to do more chores. It also teaches them a real world lesson that we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange (交换) their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out with their homes without getting anything

Finally, the big night arrived. Bill spoke 69 (he) first lines and stuttered under pressure. Then, the most amazing thing happened. When the music started, he tapped (轻叩) his foot and began to sing.

We learned that everyone has things they can’t do 74 they can do. As for Bill, he still stutters when he has a 75 (communicate) with others. But sometimes if he has a hard time giving 76 answer in class, he will just stop and sing the answer. That’s always the highlight of our class.
