Part 2 课文重现 2b · Before you read the text, discuss the questions with your partner. 1. What do you often do to help your parents at home? 2. Do you think kids should help out with chores at home? 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. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. 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. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. 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, I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. 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?” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. 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. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. Mr. Smith Part 3 Practice makes perfect. 一、单项选择 ( ) 1. She dressed up ________ everyone might notice her.

I think there are three big differences between the Chinese and Western parental mind-sets.       First, I’ve noticed that Western parents are quite worried about their children's self-esteem（自尊心）. In other words, Western parents care about their children's psyches（心灵）. Chinese parents don't. They found that they are very strong, not frail（脆弱的）, and as a result they behaved very differently.     Second, Chinese parents believe that their kids should thank them for everything. The reason for this is a little unclear, but maybe it's because of Chinese traditional customs（中国习俗）and the fact that the parents have done so much for their children.         Third, Chinese parents believe that they know what is best for their children. So they don't care about their children.       Don't get me wrong: it's not that Chinese parents don't care about their children. Just the opposite. They would give up anything for their children. It's just an entirely different parenting model.               ( ) 1. According to the passage, how many differences between Chinese parents and western parents. A. Only one B. Two C. Three D. Four            .   ( ) 2. What does western parents worry about their children? A. Self-esteem B. Psyches C. Grades D. A and B.       ( ) 3. Do the Chinese parents care about their children's psyches? A. Yes, they do. B. No, they don't. C. Not clearly. D. No mentioned.           ( ) 4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. Western parents are quite worried about their children's self-esteem. B. Chinese parents believe that their kids should thank them for everything. C. Chinese parents believe that they don't know what is best for the children. D. Chinese parents would give up anything for their children.     ( ) 5. Do Chinese parents care about their children? A. Of course B. Not really C. The writer thinks they don't D. We don't know. 二、完成对话。 A：Hello! Jane. Long time no see. How’s your vacation? B: great ! I worked as a volunteer in Kids Camp this winter vacation. There were many__1___________ kids in the camp.
