"Not this time," Dad answered with a smile. "We're going to your mum's hometown!" Soon the day of our family trip came. We got up very early in the morning to catch the train. The train journey took more than seven hours, and then we changed to a bus to get to my grandparents’ village in the evening. At the end of the road, I saw Grandpa and my little cousin standing in the cold wind waiting for us. We walked quickly to greet them. Grandpa helped us pull the heavy luggage into the house. "Ah, home again!" said Mum with a smile on her face. Grandma, my aunt, and my uncle were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. They were very happy to see us. After a little while, my parents went to the kitchen to help. "Could you bring Wenwen her favourite snacks?" Grandma asked Grandpa. I shared the snacks with my cousin and told Grandpa about school. He was happy to hear I was doing well at school. When dinner was ready, I asked, "Can I help?" "You can set the table," Dad said. We then enjoyed all the delicious food. "Mm, the familiar taste of home!" said Mum. During the dinner, my uncle told us some jokes and we had a good laugh. Several days later when we were leaving, Grandma held my hands and asked us, "Will you come home more often?" Mum nodded, with tears in her eyes.

Let them know that you hide a $5 bill someplace. If they find it, they can keep it. Change often. If your kids keep doing the same chores for months, they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task (任务) is fun for both you and the kids. They will feel more grown up when they get a new task. Do it together. It’s never fun to be the only one working and watching everyone else relaxing. If everyone takes part in doing chores, you will finish them faster and have more fun. 46．The article is for ________.

Then you won’t feel bored. Get lucky. If your kids like surprises, write chores on ice-cream and have each kid pick one. Tell them they can change their picks if each of them agrees. In this way, they will have a feeling that they’re making a choice. Make it playtime. Turn “kitchen time” into a party. Let one child be a cook and another be a DJ. The cook chooses what he or she would like to help make for dinner. The DJ chooses the music he or she would like to play. Everyone can dance around the kitchen while preparing dinner or cleaning up the kitchen later. Find more difficult chores. One of my friends was trying to get her kids to help out around the house, and someone advised her to give the kids some things like candies or toys as rewards. The plan worked like magic. However, rewards usually don’t work for long because kids will be bored with doing the same chores all the time. At this time, give them some difficult chores.

Dad has a new idea. He doesn’t use the dryer anymore, at least in summer. Instead, I have to hang all the laundry on a clothesline in the backyard. It seems like a lot of work. And it means I can’t sleep in on Saturday. Dad gets the washing started early. That way all the clothes can dry by the end of the day. “Up,” says Dad as he starts pulling the sheets off the bed. I drop off the bed onto the floor. “Go hang these!” Dad drops a wet sheet on me. It’s so cold! What a way to wake up! After I hang up the sheet, I come inside and find Dad in the kitchen. He’s made pancakes. Dad sits down across from me. “Why so sad?” “Stupid laundry,” I said. “It takes forever!” “Well, you know we have to do laundry, right?” “Yup.” “And you realize that I collect the laundry, wash it, take it off the line, fold it, and put it away?” I am starting to feel guilty. “And you have to help out around here, right?” “I know, Dad. I also know that by hanging the laundry instead of using the dryer, we can save more energy. And that means we spend less and pollute less.” Dad is glad that I remember all that. I’m quiet for a minute. I think I have to stop complaining（抱怨）about hanging the rest of the laundry. 56．Why does the father wake the writer up? ①He wants to wash the sheets.                 ②He needs the writer to wash the sheets. ③He needs the writer to hang the laundry.        ④He wants the writer to help with cooking.

However, 65 of my parents agree with me. They think I’m too harsh(严厉的). They also say it is adults’ job to do housework all the time. But in my opinion, each of the family members should help with household 66 . I don’t ask my children to do the same. Elder Jimmy can sweep the living room 67 little Amanda can take out the rubbish. At the end of the day, after they finish 68 with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to 69 toys. I expect my children to set the table at night and help 70 their own clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much. I know they 71 to do these things and they are tired after a long day’s study at school. But that’s life — harsh but 72 . And I’m as tired as they are. I don’t want to pay them for what they do. They live in the house, so they should help out 73 some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now. Some parents protect their children too much and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not 74 in that way. I hope that my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early. 答案: 1．C 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．C 6．D 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．A 11．writer 12．apartment 13．almost 14．journey 15．scissors 16．describe 17．decorate 18．glue 19．blocks 20．joy 21．like/love to share 22．No matter what 23．lay/set the table 24．give a hand 25．feel free to 26．busy with 27．do the dishes 28．for a while 29． telling jokes makes laugh 30． waiting for 31．lend to me 32．Sorry/No can’t 33．Yes can 34．with 35．look after 36．A 37．B 38．D 39．B 40．C 41．D 42．A 43．C 44．A 45．D 46．C 47．B 48．A 49．D 50．C 51．D 52．A 53．C 54．D 55．B 56．B 57．B 58．C 59．A 60．C 61．G 62．E 63．B 64．F 65．neither 66．chores 67．while 68．playing 69．their 70．fold/to fold 71．hate 72．real 73．with 74．interested 20 / 21 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 七升八英语暑假衔接预习课（人教版2024） 第三讲 Unit 2 Home Sweet Home Section B How do you feel at home? （词汇预习+课本预习+知识点详解+综合测练） 【Part One 词汇预习】 知识点一 Section B重点单词 1.almost adv. 差不多；几乎 2. journey n.旅行；历程v.旅行 3. pull v. &. n.拉；拖；拽 4. luggage n. 行李 5. familiar adj.熟悉的 6. joke n.笑话 v.开玩笑 7. several pron.几个；一些 8. nod v. &n.点(头) v.阻挡；堵塞 9. writer n.作者 10. text n.正文；文本v.(用手机给某人)发短信 11. describe v. 描述；形容 12. wherever adv. & conj. 无论去哪里；在任何地方 13. matter v.要紧n.问题 14. perhaps adv. 也许；可能 15. plate n.盘子；碟子 16. freshly adv. 刚刚 17. smell v.发臭；闻到 创n. 气味；臭味 18. joy n.喜悦；乐趣 19. apartment n.房间；公寓套房 20. block n.大楼；街区；大块 21. decorate v.装饰；装潢 22. cover v.遮盖；包括n.遮盖物；封皮 23. poster n.海报 24. scissors n.(pl.)剪刀 25. glue n. 胶水v.粘贴 知识点二 Section B 重点短语 1. more than 超过，多于 2. at the end of 在……的尽头/末端 3. see sb doing sth 看见某人正在做某事 4. wait for 等候，等待 5. be busy doing sth忙于做某事 6. share sth with sb 把……与………分享 7. set the table 摆放餐桌 8.be familiar with... 熟悉...... 9.with tears in the eyes 眼里带着眼泪 10. no matter 不论；不要紧 11. feel free to do sth 随意做某事 12. do the dishes 洗餐具 13. how often 多久一次 14. bring joy to us带给我们欢乐 15. invite you to the community party邀请你来社区派对 16. on the first floor在一楼 17. give a hand伸出援手 Exercise: 2c Complete the letter with the words in the box. community ready free arrival invite soon Dear friends, Welcome!

"Not this time," Dad answered with a smile. "We're going to your mum's hometown!" Soon the day of our family trip came. We got up very early in the morning to catch the train. The train journey took more than seven hours, and then we changed to a bus to get to my grandparents’ village in the evening. At the end of the road, I saw Grandpa and my little cousin standing in the cold wind waiting for us. We walked quickly to greet them. Grandpa helped us pull the heavy luggage into the house. "Ah, home again!" said Mum with a smile on her face. Grandma, my aunt, and my uncle were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. They were very happy to see us. After a little while, my parents went to the kitchen to help. "Could you bring Wenwen her favourite snacks?" Grandma asked Grandpa. I shared the snacks with my cousin and told Grandpa about school. He was happy to hear I was doing well at school. When dinner was ready, I asked, "Can I help?" "You can set the table," Dad said. We then enjoyed all the delicious food. "Mm, the familiar taste of home!" said Mum. During the dinner, my uncle told us some jokes and we had a good laugh. Several days later when we were leaving, Grandma held my hands and asked us, "Will you come home more often?" Mum nodded, with tears in her eyes.

However, rewards usually don’t work for long because kids will be bored with doing the same chores all the time. At this time, give them some difficult chores.

Dad has a new idea. He doesn’t use the dryer anymore, at least in summer. Instead, I have to hang all the laundry on a clothesline in the backyard. It seems like a lot of work. And it means I can’t sleep in on Saturday. Dad gets the washing started early. That way all the clothes can dry by the end of the day. “Up,” says Dad as he starts pulling the sheets off the bed. I drop off the bed onto the floor. “Go hang these!” Dad drops a wet sheet on me. It’s so cold! What a way to wake up! After I hang up the sheet, I come inside and find Dad in the kitchen. He’s made pancakes. Dad sits down across from me. “Why so sad?” “Stupid laundry,” I said. “It takes forever!” “Well, you know we have to do laundry, right?” “Yup.” “And you realize that I collect the laundry, wash it, take it off the line, fold it, and put it away?” I am starting to feel guilty. “And you have to help out around here, right?” “I know, Dad. I also know that by hanging the laundry instead of using the dryer, we can save more energy. And that means we spend less and pollute less.” Dad is glad that I remember all that. I’m quiet for a minute. I think I have to stop complaining（抱怨）about hanging the rest of the laundry. 56．Why does the father wake the writer up? ①He wants to wash the sheets.                 ②He needs the writer to wash the sheets. ③He needs the writer to hang the laundry.        ④He wants the writer to help with cooking.

However, 65 of my parents agree with me. They think I’m too harsh(严厉的). They also say it is adults’ job to do housework all the time. But in my opinion, each of the family members should help with household 66 . I don’t ask my children to do the same. Elder Jimmy can sweep the living room 67 little Amanda can take out the rubbish. At the end of the day, after they finish 68 with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to 69 toys. I expect my children to set the table at night and help 70 their own clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much. I know they 71 to do these things and they are tired after a long day’s study at school. But that’s life — harsh but 72 . And I’m as tired as they are. I don’t want to pay them for what they do. They live in the house, so they should help out 73 some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now. Some parents protect their children too much and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not 74 in that way. I hope that my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early. 20 / 21 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
