It’s a study of 207 children. Scientists have found that housework like making meals and caring for plants had something to do with planning, self-controlling and remembering things. Collected from children aged 5 to 13 in mid-2020, the results showed 86 percent of the kids put their dirty clothes in the right place and cleaned up after playing. But only 59 percent made their own beds, just 26 percent sorted clothes after washing and 10 percent helped with cooking. Older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones. Girls do more housework than boys. For example, only 49 percent of the boys but 70 percent of the girls made their own beds. Around 60 percent of the kids, including 50 percent of the boys and 61 percent of the girls, helped do the dishes. Only 34 percent of the kids aged five to seven did this, but 64 percent of those aged 11 to 13 helped. “Children who often cook a family meal may be more likely to be good at other ways of life—like schoolwork or problem-solving,” the lead researcher of the study, Ms. Tepper said. 1．According to the study, what kind of housework are the children most likely to do? A．Help cooking. B．Make their own beds. C．Clean up after playing. D．Take care of pets. 2．What can we know from Paragraph 4? A． B． C． D． 3．What is the writer’s attitude towards children doing housework? A．Supportive. B．Worried. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家的一项新的研究——孩子们可以通过做家务来提高他们的智力。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“the results showed 86 percent of the kids put their dirty clothes in the right place and cleaned up after playing. But only 59 percent made their own beds, just 26 percent sorted clothes after washing and 10 percent helped with cooking.”可知，根据调查，孩子们最有可能在玩耍后打扫卫生。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, only 49 percent of the boys but 70 percent of the girls made their own beds.”可知，49%的男孩和70%的女孩自己铺床，由此推知，选项B的图示符合文意。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a new study, kids can improve their brainpower by cooking, gardening and cleaning the house.”可知，孩子们可以通过做家务来提高他们的智力。由此推知，作者对孩子们做家务的态度是支持的。故选A。 （24-25八年级下·吉林·期中）Most students do not enjoy doing housework.

I often ask my mom for help, “Could you help me?” However, her answer is always like, “Do it yourself, dear.” This makes me feel upset, leading (导致) me to think of her as a lazy mother. For example, one day, I invited some friends over, but my bedroom was in a mess. Books were all over the table and floor, and I forgot to make my bed. I asked my mother for help to tidy up, but she seriously replied, “Do it yourself, girl.” I had to clean the room myself. Luckily, when my friends arrived, my bedroom was clean enough. Because of my mother’s laziness, I have to wash my clothes, keep my room clean, and even help with chores. I even have to go to the dentist by myself when I have a toothache. I do all these things reluctantly (不情愿地) with a voice in my heart, “What a cold and lazy mom I have!” As I grow up, I understand my mother. Her so-called laziness is actually a way to build my independence. It’s really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot. Through the early hard times, I’ve learned the importance of depending on myself and got important life skills. Now, I am thankful for the lesson my mother taught me, because the skills have shaped (塑造) me into a stronger, and more hard-working person. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the writer often do when she faces challenges at first?

Maybe you’ve been given new clothes, toys, or books for Christmas, and you haven’t yet found a place to store them in your room. You should spend more time indoors playing games and drawing in cold, windy weather. So you need to take things out to use or play with. Before you realize it, your bedroom gets messy and there’s not enough space to tidy everything away. A scientist says messy environment can overload (超负荷) your brain. It can also take your attention (注意) away from things you need to pay attention to. If there are messy things around you, you can be stressed, and it’s even harder to decide something. When your room is clean and tidy, you don’t need to spend time looking for missing socks or school books. Tidying up takes “more time, energy, and hard work,” but the results make you happy relaxed, and can help you sleep better. Staying organized can be a challenge for anyone, and some find it harder than others. The scientist suggests starting with small and easy chores, such as clearing one room at a time, finishing chores as quickly as possible. You can set an alarm if you need. Listening to music or E-book can help make tidying fun. Ask friends to help decide what to keep and what to give away.

C．By showing a saying. D．By giving an example. 2．What does the saying “Tidy space, tidy mind” mean? A．A famous space is good for your health. B．Tidying up is a waste of time for your mind. C．Cleaning your space makes your mind clear. D．A clean space has nothing to do with your mind. 3．Why does the bedroom often get messy according to Paragraph 2? A．People are too busy to clean it. B．People forget to clean it every day. C．People don’t find a place to store things. D．People spend less time indoors on cold days. 4．If we tidy up the room, it can ________.

It’s a study of 207 children. Scientists have found that housework like making meals and caring for plants had something to do with planning, self-controlling and remembering things.

Girls do more housework than boys. For example, only 49 percent of the boys but 70 percent of the girls made their own beds.

Only 34 percent of the kids aged five to seven did this, but 64 percent of those aged 11 to 13 helped. “Children who often cook a family meal may be more likely to be good at other ways of life—like schoolwork or problem-solving,” the lead researcher of the study, Ms. Tepper said. 1．According to the study, what kind of housework are the children most likely to do?

I often ask my mom for help, “Could you help me?” However, her answer is always like, “Do it yourself, dear.” This makes me feel upset, leading (导致) me to think of her as a lazy mother. For example, one day, I invited some friends over, but my bedroom was in a mess. Books were all over the table and floor, and I forgot to make my bed. I asked my mother for help to tidy up, but she seriously replied, “Do it yourself, girl.” I had to clean the room myself. Luckily, when my friends arrived, my bedroom was clean enough. Because of my mother’s laziness, I have to wash my clothes, keep my room clean, and even help with chores. I even have to go to the dentist by myself when I have a toothache. I do all these things reluctantly (不情愿地) with a voice in my heart, “What a cold and lazy mom I have!” As I grow up, I understand my mother. Her so-called laziness is actually a way to build my independence. It’s really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot. Through the early hard times, I’ve learned the importance of depending on myself and got important life skills.
