B Many kids help parents to do housework in the house. They may take out the rubbish, walk the dog or clean the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing housework, One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes kids may think that they needn't do any housework if they can't get anything in return. For example, kids won't clean the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it “Every house is teamwork," Jane said. "A home is a living place for everyone in the family It's important for kids to see that we all have the responsibility(责任)to keep our home clean.' However, other people have different ideas. They believe that money or other rewards can make kids willing to do more housework. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do housework. The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app Chore Monster, children get digital points after doing housework. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the shop. “Our goal is to encourage kids to do housework so they can get rewards." says Joe Black of Chore Monster.

The writer probably agrees that A. parents should not give rewards for doing housework B. it is parents' responsibility to pay for doing housework C. all parents have to make their children use the app Chore Monster D. the most important thing is that children do something for the family C More than 60 years after scientists had big findings about DNA. 20 students at a US Young Women's Leadership College learnt about some of the knowledge that makes them know who they are Last autumn, while studying life science, the girls sent samplesof their DNAs to a DNA testing company. The results helped the students connect(联系) the real-world with topics they study the whole term. “Students could look at their results and use what they learned in science. It's about bringing learning to life," said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher For most of the girls, the DNA test was about their ancestry( 血统). Sitting with mom, Amariah Caudle, 15. looked at the results with her mouth wide open. She was surprised that her European ancestry was 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high. "I didn't think a trace(痕迹)would show up in her,"she said."After many generations(代) this is still showing up in our ancestry. I was surprised by the science of it." Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager, believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to accept lessons and change their values. Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from 5 Mexico. She said in English how surprised she was to learn that she shared DNA with people in China, Japan and Korea. As the girls sat in small groups to check their results, with feelings from confusion tc surprise, they began to understand what it all means. "Now I know I have family from everywhere." said Amariah 57. Why was Amariah Caudle's mother surprised? A. People had the chance to test their DNA. B. The European trace showed up in Amariah's DNA. C. Maybe Amariah had European ancestry. D. Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia. 58. What does Diahan Southard think of the program? A. It helps students understand their DNAs B. It has a great power to bring people together C. It will change their students'DNAs. D. It should be introduced to more people around the country. 59. What did the girl students learn from the program? A. People need to accept who they are B. We should learn more about family history C. The results from the program are hard to believe. D. People around the world are connected with each other 60. The best title for the passage is A. Our amazing past B. Our amazing present C. Our amazing future D. Our past, present and future 五、信息还原题(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为 多余选项。 I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier desk(收银台) in her general store. 61 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely.
