专题12 阅读理解
学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
An Mingzhong, a 12-year-old boy from Sichuan, used to be lazy. In his own words, he rarely did any housework. But now, things have changed. Washing the dishes, cooking and making the bed...all of these tasks have become part of his daily life.
This big change is the result of a new program at his school. Starting from last term, Dazhou No. 1 Middle School has made housework part of its students’ homework to improve their life skills. At the beginning of each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Their parents help them keep track of (掌握……的进展情况) their performance. Some of the tasks are quite specific (具体的), such as cleaning out closets, washing cups and cooking food. On holidays like Mother’s Day, students are asked to prepare gifts for their mothers.
Wang Yixi, 13, has learned several life skills through the program, including cooking. “I used to be afraid of fire,” she said. But she tried to overcome (克服) her fear and complete her cooking tasks. At the same time, she also learned how tired her mother gets after doing housework every day. On Mother’s Day, she made a cake for her mother to show her thanks. “I’ve begun to better understand my parents and I want to help them more,” she said.
Other schools in Sichuan are also developing programs to teach their students life skills. On May 2, Qinghe Middle School in Huaying held a life skill competition. Students had to complete many tasks, including cooking and folding clothes. They showed their skills and proved (证明) that they are growing up.

A few months ago, a friend of mine saw the housework chart (图表) in our home for the first time and talked with one of our girls.
“I think you are all great helpers for your mom.”
“Yeah, Mom and Dad have so many kids, so they don’t have to do anything.”
That’s right, my children. You now know your place in the family. Snacks and TV, here I come! I don’t need to clean a thing in my house. Most of this is because I have older kids now.
We put our chores into two groups: everyday chores and paid chores. Here are everyday chores in our home: clear the table and chairs, do the dishes and sweep the floor after each meal and take out the rubbish. We also pay our kids to do chores. These chores are usually our weekly cleaning tasks, such as washing the car and cleaning the living room.
We don’t usually give them lots of instructions (指示) before they do the chores. They can find out how things work themselves. As they have more experience, we ask them to do better. And we’re glad they can look after themselves.

One early morning, Cheryl walked to the kitchen for breakfast. Suddenly, she noticed something strange was looking at her with its round black eyes. Cheryl screamed (尖叫)! She had never seen a wild thing in their kitchen before!
Cheryl ran quickly to her mom’s room. “Mom, wake up!” said Cheryl as she shook her mom. Cheryl’s mom turned over and sleepily looked at her excited child. “Did you scream What is wrong ” she asked.
“Mom, there is a wild thing in the kitchen,” said Cheryl. “It has a tail. I thought it was a cat, but it isn’t,” explained Cheryl.
Now her mom was wide awake. She quickly got out of bed and picked up a stick on her way to the kitchen. Cheryl and her mom looked through the glass door at the strange guest in the kitchen. “Oh! It’s a raccoon (浣熊)!” shouted Mom.
The raccoon looked as scared as them. It stayed in the corner and its small claws (爪子) held onto each other tightly (紧紧地). Mom quickly went over to the glass door and bravely opened it. The raccoon saw its chance to escape. Much to everyone’s relief (宽慰), the wild thing went outside at last.
Mom sat down in a chair, wondering how that animal had gotten into the house. Just then, Grandma entered the kitchen, with a pair of thick glasses on her nose.
“Grandma, why are you wearing Grandpa’s glasses ” asked Cheryl.
“Oh, is that why everything looks unclear ” said Grandma. “When I let Sam in last night, I had a hard time seeing him clearly.”
“But, Mom, Sam is an indoor cat. He never goes outside at night!” said Cheryl’s mom.

When Jan walks into the kitchen with a package, her mum is sitting at the table, reading a book and drinking tea. Jan goes to the fridge and looks inside for a drink.

“No, mum. You don’t understand. I want something to put the things into. I need a container.”
“What kind of thing ”
“I don’t know. A box I need something strong to protect the things inside.”
Mum looks around the room and thinks. Suddenly she has an idea. She goes to one of the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin. “Here it is,” she says, opening the tin and looking inside.

When I was a child, my family had many rules, such as house rules, out-in-public rules and so on. But they were all good rules, like “Don’t run in the house.” How I wish I had listened to that rule! I could remember that on a Saturday night, I was hurt badly and was taken to the hospital. I had a wound on my leg and it didn’t disappear although 17 years had passed.
My parents were very strict. I hated that when I was young. But now I really thank their rules. Their rules have made me become a graceful lady (优雅的女士).
Now, my husband and I are thinking about having our family rules. In fact, we’ve had some rules. For example, we don’t go to bed at night with unresolved conflict (未解决的矛盾). I really like this rule, although sometimes we have to stay up late because of that.
When thinking about our family rules, we want to make it fun to follow the rules. Instead of “don’ts”, we come up with many “dos”, such as “Share freely”, “Tell the truth” and “Put others before yourself”. We want our family rules to be fun, and we can get education from rules.

Some people think only school children don’t agree with their parents, however, it is not true. 52 If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. 53 Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. 54 If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解).Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊重) to them. 55
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. 56 It is worth having a try!
A．Then think about what you want to say to your parents.
B．Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.
C．Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
D．Your parents want you to have a happy life in the future.
E．And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry.
F．A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.
John is a student, who keeps the phone with him all the time. His dad thinks he is addicted (上瘾的) to his phone, but John doesn’t think so. They write to each other.
Dear John, It’s reported that fifty percent of the teenagers depend on their phones too much. I think you have this problem too. That’s why I think you should give up your phone. Not forever, just for a week. I’m warned that you are developing some bad habits. You keep your phone with you all the time—you even check the basketball scores at the dinner table. It’s not a good idea to use your phone while you are doing homework. You can’t put your heart into your homework at all. And you may make more mistakes when you can’t fully put your heart into it. There are many good reasons to take a break from your phone. Have a try! So what do you say Are you ready to give up using your phone Love, Dad
Dear dad, I know you think I depend on my phone too much. But my phone helps to make my life better in many ways. Do you remember that time when the car broke down. I sent a message to tell you that I was going to be late. If I didn’t, you would be worried about me. My phone helps me with my homework, too. I can look up anything in a second. It’s really hard to be successful today if you don’t have a phone. Social media, games, and apps might seem silly to you, but they help me to keep in touch with my friends. I promise to cut back my phone use, and I won’t use it at the dinner table any more. But giving it up for a week would be a mistake and it wouldn’t change anything in the long term. Love, John

It was Saturday evening. Rita’s parents went out, leaving Rita and her three-year-old sister Molly at home. Rita had to look after Molly. It was simply a headache for Rita!
Molly refused to wash her face before bed, but Mum had said it was a must. What could Rita do Surely she shouldn’t just let the child go to bed without having a wash. Maybe she could force (强迫) her. After all, she was much stronger than Molly. “It is the last thing I’d like to do. There must be a better way to do my job,” thought Rita. Finally, an idea came to her.
Rita went into the kitchen to get what she needed. Then she ran after Molly around the living room and caught her. Rita carried Molly into the bathroom.
“Would you like to practise magic ” Rita asked. She put blue and red food colouring into the sink (洗脸盆) full of water. “If you put your hands in the sink, you will turn the water purple.”
Molly looked at the swirls (旋涡) of colour and got excited. Then she put her hands into the swirls of colour. Of course, the water turned purple.
“Can I wash my face ”
“Sure.”
Ten minutes later, a tired but clean little girl was sound asleep in her bedroom while a tired babysitter was resting on the sofa.
62．What did Rita think of looking after her sister at first
A．Difficult. B．Boring. C．Tiring.
63．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Looking after Molly. B．Forcing Molly to wash her face. C．Letting Molly go to bed without having a wash.
64．Where did Rita catch her sister
A．In the kitchen. B．In the bathroom. C．In the living room.
65．Why did Molly finally want to wash her face

66．What would Rita’s parents say to Rita after arriving home

Many parents do not let their children do housework because they want their children to focus on their studies. This thought must be changed. 67
Housework builds children’s responsibility (责任).
Children are a part of the family, so it is clear that they also have responsibility for doing housework. 68 The adults who did housework at age 3 or 4 are likely to be successful in their mid-20s because they have more responsibility for other areas of their lives.
69
It is very bad when the children can do housework, but they just stand and see their parents do chores. Sharing housework helps make everyone be in good moods (心情). So, start doing housework with children!
Housework makes children independent.
Parents cannot always be children’s side. 70 Teaching them how to do housework is an important way to make them become independent adults in the future.
Do not wait to tell kids to do housework! This is because not only you want them to share with you, but also housework plays a part in children’s development.
A．Housework makes children happy.
B．Many parents buy everything that their children want.
C．Chores help build the responsible “parents” in the future.
D．Doing housework brings children lots of advantages.
E．The children have to know how to live alone and look after themselves.
I’m Alice. I love spending time with my parents, but sometimes they have to go away on business. When that happens, I have to find ways to keep myself busy.
One of my favorite things to do when I’m home alone is to read books. I usually get comfortable in bed with a snack and read for hours. Sometimes I even read aloud to Lucky, my pet dog.
Another thing I like to do is to watch movies. I make some popcorn (爆米花) and enjoy the movie on the sofa.
Music always makes me feel good, so I like to listen to music. But I don’t like to sing songs because it’s difficult for me. Sometimes, I like to dance to the music around the room and pretend (假装) I’m performing for a large group of people. It’s so much fun!
Of course, I also have to take care of myself when I’m home alone. I make sure to eat healthy snacks and drink lots of water. I also know what to do if there’s an emergency (紧急情况) , like calling the police or a trusted adult (成人) .
Being home alone can be a little scary sometimes, but I know how to keep myself safe and happy. Also, I always look forward to my parents coming home so we can be together again.

①In many homes, there are rules that manage daily life. These rules ensure harmony (和谐), safety, and disciplines (纪律) in the family. In my house, there are several important rules. Let’s take a look at some of these rules.
Bedtime Routine
②Every night, bedtime must be followed strictly. In our house, lights are turned off at 9:00 PM. This rule makes sure that everyone gets enough sleep and have a good rest for the next day. My younger brother often tries not to follow, but he is reminded gently but firmly that the rule cannot be changed. Although he may not like it, he is forced to be in bed by 9:15 PM every evening.
Chores and Responsibilities
③On weekends, each family member has specific chores to complete. The dishes are washed by my sister after every meal. She may not enjoy it, but it is her responsibility to keep the kitchen clean. My job is a bit more fun. I am allowed to choose which room to clean each week. However, I am also responsible for taking out the trash on Mondays and Thursdays. Even our dog has a job. He is trained to pick up his toys when ordered.
Screen Time
④In our house, screen time is carefully monitored (监管). Homework is completed before any TV or video games are allowed. This means that we are not allowed to watch TV or play video games until all homework is finished. On week days, only one hour of screen time is allowed per day, and it is usually spent watching educational programs or playing educational games. Weekends are a bit more reasonable, but even then, screen time is limited to two hours per day.
Family Dinner
⑤Family dinner is a sacred (神圣的) time in our house. Every evening, dinner is prepared by either my mom or dad. We all sit down together, and stories are shared, and laughter is often heard. It’s a time when we are encouraged to talk about our day and any problem we might be facing. Although decisions are not always made during dinner, it’s a great time for us to get closer to each other and support each other.
Outings
⑥When it comes to going out, we have to be back home by 10:00 PM on weekdays and 11:00 PM on weekends. If we are late, we are not allowed to go out for a week. This rule makes us safe and lets us know that our parents care about where we are and who we are with. For special outings, the time for coming back home depends on the situation.
⑦Living with these rules may sound strict, but they create a stable (稳固的) and loving environment. By following these rules, we learn responsibilities and the importance of family time.

After hours at the day-care centre (托儿所), Otto goes home with his parents. Then he can see his friend Russell again. This may be Otto’s favourite moment in a day.

Is there anybody who likes doing housework Should children do housework at home For some children, doing housework may be the last thing they want to do. For many parents, getting their children to help with some housework is also one big headache. However, a Malaysian mother found a creative way.
She came up with a reward system (奖励制度) for her two sons at home and posted it online. She made a list of housework and gave them money for every task they completed. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for 50 each, studying for 150, and even not fighting with each other for 10 to 15. She opened a “mini shop” at home for her kids. They could buy snacks at her mini shop which was open.
Because of this system, her children are now more willing to do their housework. Her post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times online. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to teach their children.
In fact, doing housework can play a very important role in children’s development. First, housework teach children basic skills for living, like cooking, cleaning and so on. Second, doing housework is a good way to help children keep healthy. Also, doing housework creates opportunities for parents and children to be closer. Finally, a child can grow into a responsible and independent (负责且独立的) person by helping with the housework.
