AMany kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish. And some kids get money or other rewards(奖赏) such as more computer time by doing chores.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton. an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something.“Running any kind of family is a team work,” Walton says. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house.”Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money. There are also now apps(应用软件). With the Chore-Monster app, kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores. Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. “We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards," one man says.What do you think? Should kids get rewards for doing chores? Or should kids help do chores without getting anything?Write a 200-word reply and send it to us. The last day for reply is April 10th.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even heart it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people have, the more pollution becomes.

Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by sulfur dioxide (So2) is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution, I! is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean.

She is doing some voluntary work at an after-school program to help students from poor families.On the first day of her work, she noticed that many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruits. She was surprised. One of the organizers explains that many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home. So a school lunch or an after-meal might be the most food they would get all the day. She has also been told that some hungry kids can receive free lunches, but others are only allowed reduced-price meals, and those students’ families have topay for the part of their food.Lee was shocked, she decided to offer help to those who are suffering from hunger, “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it,” says Lee. She and a group of friends are using their program skill to create a new app called Food of Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kind-hearted strangers to donate money to lunch accounts for students in a nearby school.( )19.

His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.This is the finding of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. “Children who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Brown’s study followed these children in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were awarded(奖励) for part-time jobs, housework,effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the underpinnings(基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently(壮丽地) in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”( )23.

How did Brown follow the children in his study?A.By giving housework and praise.B.By interviewing and giving scores.C.By setting goals and showing love.D.By solving problems and testing them. ( )26. What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To talk about an interesting study.B.To introduce Justin Tong’s success.C.To tell us about childhood activities.D.To encourage children to work hard.HIt is expected that Pacific Island countries will become popular with Chinese tourists in( )27.

If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker and heavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result, you can burn more calories (卡路里).In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good.But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn't require any special skills. You don't even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.( )31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Difference between air and water.B. Weight change of one's body.C. The advantages of aquatic exercise.D. The ways to do aquatic exercise. ( )32. What do most people think of aquatic exercise?A.

She decided to travel and arrived in western Nepal in 2006. A war had just ended there and left many children living on the streets. They were often forced to work at hard physical jobs for little money.One day, while walking down a country road, Doyne saw a little girl breaking up rocks. She soon learned that 7-year-old Hima sold the rocks to support her family. With deep sadness, she decided to pay Hima's tuition (学费) for school. Encouraged by the changes in the child, Doyne thought, "If we can help one child, why not 10?"Doyne felt that the street children's greatest need was a home. She found a piece of land for sale and bought it with $5,000 she saved from years of babysitting. In 2008 the Kopila Valley Chilren's Home was set up. With the help from the community, another goal was reached in 2010—the Kopila Valley School. Over 350 children now attend the school and over 50 live in the home.Today, Doyne lives in the home and is "mum" to the kids.( )35. When did Maggie Doyne travel to western Nepal?A. In 2006.B.

Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.( )39. How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?A.Under 10 million.B.
