Different people have different ideas. A few parents will say that their children are too busy with homework. Many parents ask them to do housework, but in fact few children do it. That’s a problem. Housework is good for kids. Sharing a part of housework helps children develop an awareness (意识) of the needs of others. One study found that those successful young people took part in housework tasks at the age of 3 or 4. They early shared responsibilities (责任) and it helped them develop a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. Although housework helps a lot, few kids are doing much around the house. In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 82 percent of them have done normal housework when they grow up. But only 56 percent of the adults said they asked children to do housework. What should you do to get children do housework? Accept no excuses (借口). Because sports and homework are not the reasons for not doing housework. Don’t worry if you must repeat (重复) yourself again and again. Can a payment help? Maybe. But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for normal housework is not the right choice. 46. Why is housework good for kids? _____________________________________________________________________________ 47. How many American adults in the survey have done normal housework when they grow up? _____________________________________________________________________________ 48. What excuses do children use for not doing housework according to paragraph 4? _____________________________________________________________________________ 49. Should parents pay children for doing housework according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________________________ 50. Do you do housework at home? What do you do? _____________________________________________________________________________ B. 书面表达　请根据要求完成短文写作。 51. 假设你是李明，你校英语报发起了以“A Helper of My Family”为主题的征文活动。请你写一篇英文短文投稿。内容包括： (1) 介绍你平时做的家务； (2) 描述一次令你印象深刻的家务劳动过程； (3) 谈谈你的感受。 注意： (1) 不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实校名、地名和考生的真实姓名。 (2) 语句连贯，词数80左右。作文的标题已经给出，不计入总词数。 A Helper of My Family ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Because sharing a part of housework helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others. 47. 820 American adults in the survey have done normal housework when they grow up./820. 48. Children use excuses like sports or homework (for not doing housework)./Sports or homework. 49. No(, they shouldn’t). 50. Yes, I do. I wash the dishes at home. (言之有理即可) 51. 例文 A Helper of My Family I am a good helper of my family. I always help my parents do housework at home. Every day I make the bed and help sweep the floor. Last month, we had a big party for the Spring Festival. The next morning, I got up when my parents were still sleeping. It was such a mess in the house. I decided to clean the house instead of waiting for my parents to clean up. I made a plan of all the things that need doing. Then I did them one by one in order. When my parents woke up, they couldn’t believe their eyes. They were so surprised at the tidy and clean house. I think it is necessary for us to share housework. The more housework we do, the more independent we will be. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了孩子是否应该做家务以及做家务对孩子的好处。 【46题详解】 根据“Housework is good for kids. Sharing a part of housework helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others. One study found that those successful young people took part in housework tasks at the age of 3 or 4. They early shared responsibilities and it helped them develop a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.”可知，家务对孩子有好处，因为它帮助他们发展对他人的需求意识，并在生活的其他领域培养责任感。故填Because sharing a part of housework helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others. 【47题详解】 根据“In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 82 percent of them have done normal housework when they grow up.”可知，82%的美国成年人在成长过程中做过正常的家务。故填820 American adults in the survey have done normal housework when they grow up./820. 48题详解】 根据“Because sports and homework are not the reasons for not doing housework.”可知，孩子们用体育和家庭作业作为不做家务的借口。故填Children use excuses like sports or homework (for not doing housework)./Sports or homework. 【49题详解】 根据“But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for normal housework is not the right choice.”可知，父母不应该为做家务而支付孩子费用。故填No(, they shouldn’t). 【50题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。例如：是的，我在家里洗碗。故填Yes, I do.

A few parents will say that their children are too busy with homework. Many parents ask them to do housework, but in fact few children do it. That’s a problem. Housework is good for kids. Sharing a part of housework helps children develop an awareness (意识) of the needs of others. One study found that those successful young people took part in housework tasks at the age of 3 or 4. They early shared responsibilities (责任) and it helped them develop a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. Although housework helps a lot, few kids are doing much around the house. In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 82 percent of them have done normal housework when they grow up. But only 56 percent of the adults said they asked children to do housework. What should you do to get children do housework? Accept no excuses (借口). Because sports and homework are not the reasons for not doing housework. Don’t worry if you must repeat (重复) yourself again and again. Can a payment help? Maybe. But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for normal housework is not the right choice. 46. Why is housework good for kids? _____________________________________________________________________________ 47. How many American adults in the survey have done normal housework when they grow up? _____________________________________________________________________________ 48.
