【推荐1】When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward (奖励)? It is common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. Kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also says, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all should play our part in keeping our home clean.”
Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards encourage kids to do more chores. Rewarding them also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that they need to work to make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster. With the app, kids get points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.
So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.
1. Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion?A.Don’t ask kids to do housework. |
B.Don’t give rewards for doing chores. |
C.Housework is not worth doing. |

Many parents make their children do chores. For some families, teaching children to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.
Should children do chores? The answer is yes. As you can see, children can learn many things in many different subjects or activities and that is helpful for them. It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age. All family members must work together to make the house clean, and each person must do his or her share of the work. Doing chores can help children feel that they are a part of the family. It is important for the family relationships.
Studies also show chores are good for children. Doing chores can teach children many important skills like working together. Chores can help children learn to manage (管理) their time, too. They will learn that working quickly will give them much time to do other things they want to. The skills from doing chores will be good to children all their life.
Little children can do easy chores like tidying up their toys each day. They can begin to learn to tidy up their rooms. School-age children should also do chores, for example, putting their shoes and schoolbags away when they get home from school. Older students should do all the chores. They need to learn the skills for life such as cooking, cleaning, walking the dog and helping with housework. Little by little, they can look after(照顾)themselves and a family.

【推荐1】We all know that many people like to go to the café (咖啡馆) and drink some coffee there. They can talk with other people and listen to music when drinking coffee. However, the “silent (沉默的) cafes” are very popular in Tokyo, Japan these days.
A young woman sits alone (单独地) in a cafe. She is drinking coffee and reading a book. After a while, she writes some words on the notebook and then she shows it to the waiter. It says “Where is the toilet (厕所), please?”
We can see many “silent cafes” in Tokyo. They look the same as other cafes. But people in “silent cafes” don’t speak. They can only talk with each other by writing on the notebook.
The “silent cafes” are very popular in Tokyo, because some people there are under too much pressure of work, and they need a place to relax themselves. They want to stay alone for some time, so they like to go to the “silent cafes”.
