His parents always had him doing lots of things such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. This is the finding of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked in childhood had a richer and happier future. "Children who worked in the home or community got compliments (赞美) and felt they were important members of society," said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them. "Brown's study followed these children in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. The researchers compared the children's mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were given for part-time jobs, housework, effort (努力) in school, and the ability to deal with problems. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop the responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of mind health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The greatest people are those who know how to do this. However, work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live meaningfully in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work." 1.

Our old house was beautiful and huge. How about now? Half the size and crowded (拥挤的). There were still boxes everywhere. The day after the move, Mum and Dad went to work, so I opened some boxes and hung up the family photos on the wall. But it just didn't feel like home. Then I came up with an idea. Perhaps I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like what my grandma used to do whenever I felt down. However, when I added eggs to the mixer, it suddenly stopped working. "How could it be?" I felt like crying. "What would Grandma do when facing this?" I thought. During those hard times, she did everything she could to support (支持) the family. I didn't think Grandma would give up easily. Instead, she would find another way. So I ran to the boxes to hunt for Grandma's old, white mixer. Finally, I found it! I turned it on, but nothing happened. The old mixer was broken too and seemed hard to get repaired (维修), just like my life these days. "Come on! Try again," a small voice inside my heart said. I turned the switch back on. To my surprise, the mixer started to work slowly. Two hours later, Mum opened the door. "Wow, biscuits! Thank you, George," she said with tears in her eyes. For the first time, our new home felt like a real one. It even smelled like home, just like Grandma's house always did. This house probably wasn't like our old one. But then again, maybe home wasn't where we lived. It was where we shared the sweet moments and the small magic every day, like a broken mixer that worked again when I needed comfort most. 1.

Among them were 618 teenagers with one parent who lived away from home for long periods because of work. The scientists wanted to know how the work of these "fly-in, fly-out" parents might affect their children's health. The scientists found that teenagers with "fly-in, fly-out" parents had more trouble with their feelings than those whose parents worked regular hours. This matched past studies that found many teenagers who often went back to an empty home after school cried a lot or got angry easily. Findings also show that parents don't have to be home all the time, but it's important to be home at certain times every day. And the best parental presence (存在) for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant—quiet but always there. For example, one parent quietly cleans the living room while his or her kids do homework. Scientists say that children use their parents as a safe base (基地) to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children quietly follow their parents' movements from room to room, even while going on with their own activities. Perhaps teens, like babies, feel most relaxed and comfortable when their parents are still around. They don't want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom. As a new school year begins, as parents, we can give teenagers a "potted plant" as a gift. Its quiet and steady (稳定的) presence will give them a great day. 1.

Some believe that children should not do chores. They think a child is not brought into the world to cook and clean for himself or parents. On the other hand, many parenting experts believe that doing chores gives the child a greater feeling of self - responsibility, importance and confidence, and also helps to develop the child's independence and teach him how to look after himself. Most parenting experts do agree, however, that the chores should fit the child. A five - year - old, for example, probably shouldn't be washing the dishes and taking out the garbage. However, a child of this age is able to pick up toys, and keep the home tidy. Actually, young children are usually quite receptive (善于接受的) to chores because they are doing what Mum or Dad does, and that helps them feel more grown up. As the child ages, many experts agree on giving the child chores with greater responsibility, like washing dishes, walking the dog, or sweeping the floor. However, children can become resistant to these tasks, and not all of these are simple chores.As children increase in age, they also have increased responsibility in school. It is necessary for parents to think about children's heavier schoolwork. Maybe more chores on the weekend, instead of study - heavy weekdays can be helpful. Parents should be sure to set an example for their children that they also have responsibilities. If a parent doesn't do chores in front of his or her child, and doesn't keep a clean house, the child doesn't want to do chores himself, either. 1. What does the underlined word “Requiring" probably mean in Chinese? _________________________________________________________ 2. Why do parenting experts think doing chores is helpful to children? Because it can not only make children feel responsible, ______ and confident, but also make them become ______. 3.What do parenting experts agree on how to give children chores properly? What chores parents give to their children should ______________________. 4.As schoolwork for children gets heavier, what should parents do? Parents should make children_______________ on the weekend than on weekdays. 5.When the child is asked to do chores, what should his parents do? They should_________________________________________________________. 【难度等级】★★★ 2、 任务型阅读根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，计 10 分）（新编） Washing clothes is easy for most people living in cities, as washing machines do the job.However, in many rural or poor areas, people have to wash their clothes by hand, as they don't have electricity or money to buy the machines. Now, a new bamboo washing machine might help them solve this problem. The machine is a simpler version (版本) of a traditional washing machine. However, it doesn't use electricity but the natural flow of water. It has a wooden rotation shaft (转轴) in the center and a bamboo drum (桶) outside. You just put the machine in a river and water will go into the bottom of the machine and rotate (使旋转) the main drum. This creates an eddy (涡流) that cleans clothes. A 7 - member team from the School of Design at Dalian Minzu University created the machine. "There are 836 million people living in extreme poverty (极端贫困) in the world. They have to spend much time doing little things like washing clothes. We want the bamboo washing machine to help them free up their time so they can do more meaningful things, like fighting poverty," said one of the designers. "People can make the machine easily and almost pay nothing for it. That's the best thing," said another designer. "We give people the rotation shaft and teach them how to set up the machine. They can find bamboo locally and make it into drums. If there is no bamboo, they can also use materials like wood. "The designers spent more than half a year working on the machine. They had many team meetings and changed their design at least four times. But in the end, they were happy with the results. 1. What's the difference between a bamboo washing machine and a traditional one? (no more than 3 words) The bamboo washing machine uses the natural flow of water ______. 2. What do you need to make this new machine? We need ____________ and ____________. 3. Why did the team want to make this machine? (no more than 3 words) They want the people living in extreme poverty to have __________________. 4. According to the designers, what's the best thing to make this machine? It is ______ and ______ for people to make it. 5. How long does it take the designers to design this machine? _________________________________________________________ 参考答案： 【基础训练】 一、任务型阅读 1.Cheap and free. 2.because 3.places to live in; ways 4.travel more; see more places 5.To introduce backpacking. 二、任务型阅读 1.
