三、阅读理解

Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house. And some kids get money or other rewards (奖励) from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn’t worth doing unless they can get something. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. Susie said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that it’s all the family members’ job to keep their homes clean.”

Other people have different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards can encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them a real world lesson that we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the Chore Monster app, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.

What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out with their homes without getting anything?

3. What can kids do with the points they get from the Chore Monster app?

A. They can use the points to clean the floors by themselves.

B. They can exchange the points for real rewards like video game time.

C. They can give the points to other family members to do chores.

D. They can use the points to learn how to be a parenting educator.
