(A)
Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes.In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.
Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs，we should pay kids for everyday housework.
But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return.“Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards，” says Chris Bergman.“And kids need rewards to help encourage them.”
( )51.Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．Washing the dishes. B．Cooking meals.
C．Folding the clothes. D．Making the bed.
( )52.The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “________”．
A.as a reward B.for punishment C.on sale D.under control
( )53.What is Walton's idea in the passage?
A.Running exercise is a kind of team work. B.People work to get some rewards.
C.Kids have responsibilities in the house. D.Doing housework is only the parents' job.
( )54.According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ________．
A.do housework without rewards B.do more housework
C.stay away from housework D.do housework by getting rewards
( )55.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework B.Let Children Do Some Housework
C.Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework?
D.Doing Housework Is Good for Children's Study
(B)
Dear Ben,
How are you? Today is April 20th. Earth Day is coming in two days.What are you going to do this year? Last year, you planted some trees near your house, didn't you?
This year, I'm going to the Center Park to pick up the rubbish. I'll go there with my cousin. You know, there are lots of people in the Center Park every day. Some people throw the rubbish everywhere. There are fewer and fewer fish in the river. We will start at 8：00 in the morning. At noon, we'll have a picnic there. Would you like to join us?
All my family will do something on that day. My brother Jack is going to collect things that can be used again like paper, cans and metal in our neighborhood. He will also collect some old clothes and give them to the poor. My sister Lily is going to give a speech about environment protection in her school. She wants to call on more students to do something like us on Earth Day. As for my parents, they are going to work by bike instead of driving their car. I think it's a good way to protect our environment. Nowadays, more and more people have their own cars. It's one of the main causes of air pollution.
Yours,
Eric

As a middle school student, you may have much stress at school. You may find it hard to deal with it. Here are some suggestions for you.

◆Get plenty of sleep
Most teenagers get less than eight hours' sleeping time each night.This can have a bad influence on your performance at school and give you much stress.So turn off the computer and the phone, and go to bed early at night.

Let's go wrestling, Dad！”(《摔跤吧，爸爸！》 ) is one of the Top 10 movies recently. It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name's Mahavir. In real life, he is called “the father of Indian women wrestling” because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.
A very famous Indian actor—Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him to play this role. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time.
Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.
It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and it took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and do it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.
The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last. As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts.
( )66.From the passage, what is Aamir Khan's job?
A player. B. An actor. C. A director. D. A coach.
( )67.Why is Mahavir called “the father of Indian women wrestling”？
A. Because he is a very famous Indian player.
B. Because he played a role in the movie “Let's go wrestling, Dad！”．
C. Because he supported many Indian women to take up wrestling.
D. Because he became strong in a short time.
( )68.What does the underlined word “Strength” mean in Chinese?
力量 B. 目标 C. 疲劳 D. 节食
( )69.What is the correct order of the following things about Aamir Khan?
①He changed his eating habits and did sports to become strong.
②He was serious about the character and he needed to make great efforts.
③To be fat, he ate too much food.
④Finally, he succeeded.
③②①④ B. ②③④① C. ②①④③ D. ②③①④
( )70.Which of the following is NOT true about Aamir Khan from the passage?
A. “Let's go wrestling, Dad！” is a true story about Aamir Khan himself.
B. He became very fat at first and then lost weight in a very short time.
C. In order to act well, he trained so hard.
D. He tried to play a perfect role in the movie.
