That39。s a controversial idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will declare that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done. That39。s a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional wellbeing. One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best predictor for young adults success in their mid20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. But for all that their help matters, few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1, 000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids more responsible. Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework. Sports and homework are not getoutofhouseworkfree cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and munities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance. What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don39。t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you39。re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you39。re doing it right. Can an allowance help? Maybe. But if you39。re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message.（1）What is most parents39。 problem with children doing housework?

Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done.”一些父母會說他們的孩子太忙了，沒有時間做家務(wù)。我們中更多的人會分配家務(wù)，或說我們相信他們，但家務(wù)就是做不完?？芍贁?shù)家長覺得孩子學(xué)業(yè)太忙無暇做家務(wù)，但多數(shù)家長即便認(rèn)為孩子該做家務(wù)，實(shí)際生活中也沒有很好地付諸實(shí)踐?？芍獙Υ蠖鄶?shù)父母來說讓孩子做家務(wù)存在的問題是他們沒有把它付諸實(shí)踐。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.”那些早期共同承擔(dān)的責(zé)任擴(kuò)展到了他們生活的其他領(lǐng)域?？芍恼略诘诙谓榻B了孩子做家務(wù)的好處，第三段用一項研究具體闡釋了第二段的內(nèi)容。該研究表明，孩子幼時做家務(wù)預(yù)示著成年后較早成功，因?yàn)樽黾覄?wù)過程中培養(yǎng)出的責(zé)任感會遷移到生活的其他方面?？芍髡咛岬窖芯渴菫榱俗C明讓孩子做家務(wù)是有益的。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.”然而，82%的人稱自己在成長過程中經(jīng)常做家務(wù)，而只有56%的有孩子的人稱自己需要孩子做家務(wù)?？芍?，參與調(diào)查的1000個人中，82%的人說自己成長過程中經(jīng)常做家務(wù)，即有820人小時候做過家務(wù)。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。最后一段中的“What should you do when getting children to do housework?”要讓孩子做家務(wù)時你應(yīng)該做什么?，是本段的主題句，作者在本段就“如何讓孩子參與到家務(wù)事中”向家長提供了建議?？芍髡邔懙淖詈笠欢问墙o父母一些關(guān)于分配孩子做家務(wù)的建議。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health experts answer these and other questions. Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (癥狀)are all above the neck. These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a minor sore throat. Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear below the neck. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach. There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don39。t feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a
