23、A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A bomb destroyed her home and killed her mother.

Every day, we see pictures like this on TV or in newspapers. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers. They move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they run away from their homes.

“Dad, why are the Americans attacking us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son. He tries to comfort him by saying, “The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right.” Abu knows this isn’t always the truth, but what else can he do? In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to make them sleep so that they won’t hear the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed.

“ All we can do is to listen to and hear the war,”said Abu. “People in Baghdad, men and women, young and old, have to live in fear. We don’t know where the next bombs are going. We can do nothing but wait to be killed.”

【1】The four-year-old girl’s mother was killed by .

A．some Iraqi soldiers

24、   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.

25、   Most children are introduced to a study of history early in their school life by hearing stories of people who lived in other times and places. They learn that the world has not always been e【1】 as it is today. Later in the elementary grades a more formal study of this subject may include local history, n【2】 history, world history, and contemporary history (现代史) or current events. Most schools in the United States r【3】 pupils to take one year of United States history in grade 7 or 8, and a【4】 year in grade 11 or 12. Other history courses, such as ancient history and English history, are sometimes offered as selective course.

Various m【5】 are used to add to the information given in the regular history books used in a course. Students may increase their knowledge of history by watching filmstrips, picture slides, and films. The class may take a field trip to some historical places, visit a museum or an art gallery, or p【6】 a play that dramatizes (将……搬上舞台) a historical event. Other interesting p【7】 include making collections of coins, stamps, or objects from a particular period or country, making scrapbooks (剪贴簿), and constructing models of buildings or historical scenes. Older children especially enjoy reading historical novels that describe vividly a period in the past.
