4 . When parents consider the work they do around the house, it can be fairly easy to construe lists of chores (家务) for kids.    1    . Overly difficult chores will turn kids off housework quickly. In contrast, chores that are too simple maybe rejected by older kids, since they prefer work that shows they’re growing up and are more mature.

Chores for pre-schoolers should probably be overseen by parents. Kids aged two to six maybe eager to help. Remember to make chores easy to complete and give lots of praise to them.    2    . Some sample chores for pre-schoolers include picking up toys or setting the table.

    3    . These can include making the bed, picking up laundry from their bedroom floors, and making sure all toys are put away. Beyond keeping bedrooms neat, household chores for kids can include drying dishes, sweeping the floor, and pulling up weeds.

Preteens and teens can help prepare meals, like a simple breakfast or lunch, wash dishes, and do laundry. Other chores include changing bed sheets, folding laundry, and taking care of pets.    4    . That way, they can make sure things like feeding pets are being done as needed so a pet doesn’t go hungry or thirsty. Older teens, especially if they’ve been doing chores all their lives, are quite capable of doing most things adults do.    5    .

A．School-age kids can do more complicated chores

B．On this last chore, parents may want to follow up

C．In this way, they associate good feelings with housework

D．They can prepare almost any meal and do intensive cleaning

E．Each family member should find some time to get things done

F．However, remember to make sure that chores are age appropriate

G．Chores for kids of this age include helping dust with a cloth and set the table

5 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A woman remarried a man from Mexico. She already had a 16-year-old daughter named Bethany, while her husband had a 14-year-old daughter named Maria. Maria and Bethany had been in each other’s lives since they were children. Their relationship as stepsisters was good until recently.

The entire family was busy planning Maria’s Quinceanera (成人礼). The woman’s husband and his ex-wife joined forces to get her a beautiful dress to celebrate the occasion. In total, the dress cost $3,000.

Bethany made it clear that she was jealous (嫉妒的) of the party. Her mom had to make her understand that in Mexican culture, a Quinceanera was a great deal, just like how she had a sweet sixteen party. However, Bethany kept comparing her party to that of Maria’s. It was a massive issue for her, and it reflected in the way she behaved around everyone at home.

Knowing how it made Bethany feel, the mom tried to spend more time with her daughter to assure her that she wasn’t being disregarded. They even got her a lovely dress for the Quinceanera, but much cheaper than Maria’s dress.

Two weeks before the big day, Maria and Bethany got into an argument regarding the TV. Bethany retaliated (报复) against her stepsister by tearing off the back part of her Quinceanera dress. After finding out what Bethany did, everyone was angry. The mom couldn’t believe what her daughter did and quickly gave her husband and his ex-wife money to get a new dress.

The mom told Bethany that she needed to get a job to pay back the total price of the dress. It was her punishment for such an unreasonable act against her stepsister. However, Bethany claimed her mom was unfair by choosing Maria over her. This made the mom question whether she was in the wrong for giving her daughter no choice but to find a job. She wrote about the story online, hoping to get opinions from others on whether what she did was wrong.
