23、   Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless they get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.

“Every house is a team effort，” Jane said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”

Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app Chore Monster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards，” says Joe Black, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive(积极的) power to make them do chores.”

【1】Jane Smith thinks that________.

A.housework isn't worth doing

B.kids are not willing to do chores

C.kids should get something in return

D.kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores

【2】Chore Monster is a(n)________.

A.educator B.coach C.app D.app founder

【3】The meaning of the underlined word “responsibility” in the passage is “________”.

A.waste B.habit C.duty D.price

【4】The purpose of the apps is to________.

A.give kids points and gifts

B.encourage kids to do chores

C.exchange points for real rewards

D.give kids advice on doing chores

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.How to encourage kids to do chores.

B.What kind of chores kids should do.

C.If kids should do chores at home.

D.Whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores.

24、

Nine-year-old Regina, from Scotland, has always loved taking photos. When she was just three, she picked up her father, Kevin’s camera, and asked him how it worked. But rather than just being a curious (好奇的) child or a girl with an inability to leave anything alone, Regina is in fact a professional wedding (婚礼) photographer.

“Regina became interested in photography at a very young age,” her father, and fellow professional photographer, Kevin, tells Daily Mail Australia. “She first started asking questions about how to use my cameras. Regina has never been on a training course,” He goes on to explain that he has never forced his daughter to take photos like her dad does for his job. “I just answer questions when she asks them, and when she wants to do some shooting she can. Over the years she’s tagged along to quite a lot of shoots, so her skills just grew through experience.”

These skills reached the highest point on April 15 this year, when Regina shot over 400 photos at her first wedding. “She completely loved it,” Kevin said. “She is quite a quiet girl, but when she has that camera in her hands she is super-confident, and had no problem dealing with people or setting up shots throughout the day. Regina’s next wedding is on July 1 and several of my other brides have called to ask if she can come along as they love her work. I honestly don’t have words to describe how proud I feel,” he concluded.

“In the past, Regina said a few times that she just wants to keep it as a hobby,” said Kevin. “But over the past few days, upon seeing some of the response her work has got and some of the nice messages she’s received from people all over the world, she has said she might like doing this when she’s older.”

【1】What did Kevin do to help Regina?

A．He answered her questions about photography.

B．He sent her to a training course to learn photography.

C．He forced her to go to some wedding with him.

D．He asked her to take photos as much as possible.

【2】The underlined word “shooting” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.

A．射击

B．发芽

C．拍摄

D．投篮

【3】From Kevin’s words, how does Regina feel when she takes a camera?

A．She is quiet and feels a little nervous.

B．She is quite sure that she can do it well.

C．She feels tired and leaves the camera alone.

D．She really wants to go to a training course.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Kevin really wants her daughter to be a professional photographer.

B．Kevin doesn’t want to take Regina to the weddings any more.

C．Regina is really talented so she doesn’t need to practice too much.

D．Regina might be a professional photographer in the future.

When John first h【8】 about these children, he wanted to help them. “I did not know a【9】 about the type of life they had until I had the chance to got to these countries and meet the children. I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. I will continue to s【10】 those children in need.”
