Different families have different ways of handling-chores and pocket money.Some parents believe paying children for doing chores teaches important lessons,while others think chores should be done without rewards (because they believe helping around the house is just what kids should do as part of the family.17 One common way is to pay kids for each chore-like $1 for washing the dishes.Parents who use this method say it teaches kids the value of working for money,but some notice that children may only help when paid. 18 This makes chores feel less like work.But kids might still do chores just for money,not because they want to. Some parents don't pay kids for chores because they believe it might make kids focus more on rewards than on their sense of duty.To them,chores are something kids need to do as part of the family.But these patents might still give kids pocket money-just not for chores.19 However,if they do this,children might not see the connection between work and money. The middle ground(折中的办法)is paying only for bigger,,more challenging(有挑战性的) chores,like washing the car,but not for small daily chores,like making the bed.This way, children can not only learn that helping the family is important,but also realize that extra work can bring extra rewards. 20 (f one way doesn't work,try another until you find what works. A.They want kids to learn how to handle (money wisely without connecting money to housework. B.Let's see how these different ideas work in real life C.So paying kids for chores is a good way to teach them responsibility. D.In a word,no single chore-money rule is perfect. E.Another way is to give pocket money weekly or monthly if children finish all chores. 九年级英语试卷 第5页(共8页) 二、完形填空(共10小题,每小题1分;满分10分) 阅读短文,理解其大意,然后从A、B、C、D中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Lily had been looking forward to her summer vacation.As soon as school 21 ,Lily and her family put their bags in the car and headed to the beach.The salty sea air filled her nose as they drove down the road towards their hotel.She felt a surge (of 22 when they finally arrived.
