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, believe 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 gives 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. ”

31. 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.

32. 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

33. What’s 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 the housework is only the parents’ job.

34. 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 be getting rewards

35. 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

Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

In Mandarin, the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred ( 神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.   

The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner’s family for three generations (代).

Right now, the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.

I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.

36. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?

A．About 600 years.

B．More than 600 years.

C．1,420 years.

D．Over 10,000 years

37. We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the color purple is the symbol for ________ of the emperor.

A．power

38. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “banquet” in Paragraph 4?

A．表演

B．比赛

C．展览

D．宴会

39. Which of the following is NOT true about the Forbidden City in the passage?

A．The Emperor lived there.	B．The wall of the City.

Having a pen pal is fun and can be a great way to improve your writing skills. But most people have trouble knowing what to write to their pen pals.     41

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在短文的空白处填入一个恰当的词，使短文内容完整、通顺。

Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things. I teach my daughters to d    51     a habit of helping others.

We live in a rural(乡村)area. Most of what we see is beautiful nature. One of the exceptions (例外) to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows. And there are no necessary public s    52     such as rubbish collection.

A helping behavior(行为) that I often p    53     with my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood. My daughters often have a m    54     to see who can collect the most rubbish. They will often say to me in an excited voice, “There’s some rubbish, —Daddy, stop the car!” Without t    55     more, we will often get out of the our car and pick it up. Though it may seem s    56    , we do it. In fact, we enjoy it. We pick up rubbish in parks, on sidewalks, almost a    57    .

One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road. I stopped. He r    58     his head and said to me with a smile, “I saw you doing this with your family. It’s a good idea to protect our natural world.”

There are many other ways to p    59     kindness for others. You may share a dinner with a begger (乞丐), visit lonely old people in the nursing home, or help the blind cross the street. You can think of something that can be finished e    60     but helpful. It is fun, self-satisfying, and what’s more, it can set a good example. Helping others is helping yourself.
