2 . Here are a few ways to motivate (激发) children to do chores.

    1     Children always watch their parents and learn how to act from them, so the parents must set a good example and take chores seriously. This motivates children to do chores, too.

Decide what kinds of chores children do. For younger children, give them easy work, like putting away their toys.    2    .

Tell children about the importance of doing chores.     3    Knowing the importance of the chores helps to motivate children to do them.

    4     When children finish the chores on the list, parents can reward them by giving them a prize. A chore list also gives children a sense of pride when they finish all their chores.

6 . 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。

It was Christmas Eve when my sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work.

She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school, which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a peek (偷看) at the gifts under the tree.

Since my sister was older, and that put her in charge, she opened the first gift while I was ordered to stand guard at the big picture window in our front room. I was to report any suspicious (可疑的) activity or persons, namely our mother.

Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied and she had finished wrapping her last present back up, we changed places.

My heart beat so fast that it felt like my chest was moving in and out. My sister reminded me to be careful so I wouldn’t tear the paper, and to wrap the present back up the same way that I had found it.

After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside. Cool! Mom and Dad got me headphones for my stereo! I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Wrap it hack up! Mom’s coming!”

My heart hit the floor along with the headphones. My body was as frozen as a snowman. I shoved the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking so much that I tore the paper trying to wrap it back up. My sister was yelling at me, which only made my hands shake more. I heard the door opened. I thought I was going to wet my pants!

I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!” She smiled at me and said “Hi,” back, but didn’t appear to suspect a thing. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath. That was close. Too close!

10 . Strategies for Getting Kids off Screens

It’s time to keep kids off the screens! Parents should use the winter vacation to remind their children of what it’s like to play freely, offline for hours on end.     1    . Here are some practical strategies for giving kids a screen-free winter.

Set clear screen time limits

Establish how many minutes or hours you’re OK with them each week, and make it something that can never be changed. For example, you could say they’re allowed to watch for an hour on Sunday morning, or for 15 minutes in the evening while dinner is being made, or none at all for the rest of the winter—and then stick to it.     2    

Get kids cooking

Involve them in meal preparation by assigning recipes that you’d like them to make each day.     3    . And you’ll have many tasty dishes at the end of it,

    4    

There are numerous half- and full-day camp options and lessons that can occupy a child’s time, such as swimming, art classes, tennis, dinosaur camp and sports camp. Look around your community for activities that can get them out of the house for a few hours each day.

Establish a reading routine (习惯)

    5    . Take your kid along to choose what she or he wants to read, and that will help keep them enthusiastic. Back home and see if you can set up a comfortable reading corner where they will be willing to read and let reading become a good habit gradually.

A．Sign up for lessons

B．Assign household work

C．That helps stop arguments of screen time

D．Of course, this is easier said than done

E．Master some basic tricks, using a homemade tool

F．They’ll develop new skills at cutting, cooking and baking

G．Go to the library once a week to store up fresh reading material
