I. 阅读理解
When I was young, I loved paper cutting and I was pretty good at it. As I grew up, I became busy and didn't have much time for it. Later, I stopped doing it.
However, the news I came across online touched my heart and changed my mind. A little girl from Jieyang, Guangdong was practicing lion dance when a professional lion dance performance team(专业舞狮表演队)passed by. As soon as they saw the girl practicing, they started to beat drums and gongs for her and quickly she did a lion dance in return. People around all cheered for her. Her love for the ancient Chinese culture evoked my strong memories of paper cutting.
I remembered the happy times of making paper cuttings with my teacher and friends in the club. When I was ten, I joined the paper cutting club. Every Monday and Friday, I learned to make paper cuttings there. Our teacher, Ms. Li, was very talented. With a pair of scissors and a piece of paper, she could create lively works. That amazed us. And we learned much from her. Together, we created lots of works. They covered many topics, including animals, flowers and things about Chinese history. Every time we held a paper cutting show, our works attracted many visitors. The girl in the news encouraged me to go on with paper cutting. I want to be an inheritor(继承者) of the ancient Chinese culture. Together with other inheritors, I hope to pass down our excellent culture.

V. 阅读表达
A well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that children who do chores can become more independent and successful when they grow up. In fact, chores are very important to children's future development, as they bring many benefits.
When children do chores, they can get a sense of achievement because they can see the results soon after finishing the chores. Especially when their parents say thanks for their help and tell them they've made the day easier, they will know they are useful and able to help their families. This experience can also encourage children to be more active outside of the family.
What's more, they will learn that it is everyone's duty (责任)to take part in the household chores. It helps to stop them from growing up spoiled(惯坏的). Life doesn't simply offer everything on a plate. It takes much effort to turn what we want into reality.
Besides, they will learn how to manage their time through chores. Doing chores from a young age helps children to get used to them. Children learn to include them in their day with all other activities such as studies and play. Time management is a useful skill, too. When they grow up, they need to balance different parts of their life like work and family.
Chores also teach important life skills. Chores are usually related to household tasks- washing dishes, sweeping the floor, making the bed, etc. These are all life skills that children need to develop. The only way to learn is by doing.
Chores aren't just about keeping the house clean. They are life lessons.
1. Why can children get a sense of achievement by doing chores? (no more than 12 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________________2. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to? (no more than 8 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________________3. What can children learn from doing chores besides life skills? (no more than 6 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________________4. 请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。
_________________________________________________________________________________________5. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。_________________________________________________________
