【推荐3】Dear Sir,

I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school.     1     Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university.     2     It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing them.

Ms. Miller

Dear Sir,

    3     It is not enough to just get good grades at school.

Children these days depend on their parents too much They are always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?”     4     It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors’ son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself.     5     The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

Mr. Smith

根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺，内容完整。

A．I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.

B．They do not have time to study and do housework, too.

C．As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped.

D．Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now.

E．Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves.
