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. ”

When was the last time you thought about breathing (呼吸) ? Most people usually do not. When we are healthy, breathing happens naturally and easily. The human breathing system (系统) works hard and doesn’t have much influence on us. That’s why we don’t feel clearly about this.

Experts say we take about 20, 000 breaths every day, and they note that our “breathing muscles (肌肉) are working every minute of the day, every day of our lives. “And they mention deep breathing is important because it’s good for our health.

When you breathe deeply, the air comes into your nose and makes your lungs (肺) full. An expert says that deep breathing may slow the heartbeat, lower blood pressure and lower stress. Deep breaths help your body fully exchange incoming oxygen (氧气) with outgoing carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) .

A study shows that if you practice deep breathing over and over again, it can help remove dirty air from the lungs. This will increase oxygen levels and get your lungs to return to its job of helping you breathe.

Deep breathing is a good way to reduce stress and relax. Take a slow, deep breath through your nose. Feel your hand go up. Your stomach should rise and expand. Now breathe out slowly through your mouth. If you keep doing that 3 to 5 times, you can find it easy to calm down and relax yourselves.

In a word, deep breathing can bring many benefits (益处) to people. So, start practicing it as much as possible.
