Doing housework is part of the family life. Some parents refuse to let kids do
housework to make them enjoy more playtime. Others teach kids to do housework to
make kids become independent. Then here comes the question: ▲ My answer is
yes and the following are my reasons.
Doing housework teaches kids life skills. Many of the life skills are things that
teachers do not teach, so it's even more important for kids to learn to do housework.
Doing housework makes kids learn to take on responsibilities and improve their
independence. Living with their parents, they should know that everyone in the
family should do their part in keeping the house clean. As long as kids can do things
by themselves, they won't always ask their parents for help.
Doing housework helps kids understand their parents better. When parents do
the housework, most kids think it's easy. Unless kids try some housework
themselves, they won't know how hard their parents are. However, giving them
housework may help this insight come quickly.
Doing housework helps improve kids' planning skills. W hen kids have
schoolwork, housework and free time activities in a day, they need to decide what to
do first. This way, they will improve thei r planning skills.
It's true that studies are important to kids, but it doesn't mean that kids need to
spend all the time on their studies. At different ages, there is some housework that is
right for kids. If they can do it, it will be good for their development .
( )21.Which of the following can be put in ▲
A. Should children help with housework
B. Why is playtime important to kids
C. How can kids become independent
( )22.What does the underlined word “insight" in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A.疑 问 B. 领 悟 C.挑战
( )23.Which i s the correet structure of this text
(P1=Paragraph 1)
B.
( )24.W hich of the following does the writer agree with
A. Children should spend all the time on their studies.
B.Doing housework is more important to kids than studies.
C. Doing right housework at different ages is good for kids .

One evening, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, to help with dinner, his
question surprised me.“What is a colander(漏 勺 ) ” he asked.
In the family, nobody else went into the kitchen except(除 了 ) me! Tha t night,
I thought,“As a mother, while I care about my son's grades, I always forget he
needs to prepare more abilities and skills for his future life.” He should try to solve
all kinds of problems by himself instead of always asking his mother, “What's for
dinner ”
So I came up with a plan:Start a housework course for Ray!
For two hours,three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day,he washed and
seasoned(为 … …调 味 ) a chicken for cooking in a hot oven. Then he spent 30 minutes
preparing his mashed potatoes, apple pie and carrot pieces. When the chicken
was ready, he cut it into pieces, rolled them up and filled with apple pie. He did all
of these while listening to my teaching steps. I knew all these were boring for him.
He tried to stop the terrible lessons, but I refused him. At last,our housework
course lasted for one year.
“I appreciate(感 激 ) what you do as a mom,”he told me one day.
Now, Ray understands the importance of doing housework, and more
importantly, he realizes people should be independent and self-reliant(自 力更 生 的 ).
( )25.How did the mother feel when she heard her son's question
A. Surprised . B. Angry. C. Excited.
( )26. What can we know from Paragraph 2
A. Mom is the best teacher. B. Your life depends on yourself.

Hello,everyone.I enjoy doing housework.It can not only help my parents out,
but also develop my independence.So I think it's necessary for us to do housework.
When I'm free,I usually clean the house and cook for my parents.Last Friday

for them.I cooked their favorite dishes.When they came back home,they tried some
and told me they were really delicious.You couldn't imagine how happy I was when I
heard that.From this experience,I learned that doing housework can give me a
feeling of satisfaction.And I plan to do more housework to make my parents happy.
That's all.Thank you for listening.
