【推荐1】Students from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.

On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education(MOE)(教育部) gave a document showing the new curriculum (方案) for high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary services.

“Labor education must be carried out with the purpose to make the right view of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing housework,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.

According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits(学分)—the same as foreign language and physics.Voluntary service, as part of labor education, will take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.

According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, most schools pay more attention to the course of education and parents may think that doing housework will waste their kids’ time.

According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on housework, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.

However, doing housework does not take young people’s attention away. Instead, it can help them to develop a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better...”, she said.

2. How many credits will voluntary service take?

3. Why do schools pay more attention to the course of education?

【推荐2】阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。

As we all know, doing housework is helpful for teenagers development. Do teenagers in small villages do housework at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? We made a survey (调查) last month. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China. Half of them come from big cities. The others are from small villages. Let’s look at the result.

We can find out that teenagers in small villages do more housework than those in big cities. Maybe it is because teenagers in small villages live a harder life or their parents are too busy to look after them. As a result, teenagers in small villages are more independent than those in big cities. We will give our advice to parents in big cities. We think parents should give their children some housework to do because it’s a good chance (机会) for teenagers to learn how to take care of themselves. Besides, they should give their children more free time so that they can do what they love to do.

1. Who does the underlined word “them” refer to (指代的是)?
It refers to ___________________.
