But it turns out that today39。s students are not going to be satisfied with any job. According to the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential(必要的) to young people39。s happiness. The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own. Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates, echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference. One reason for the emphasis(強(qiáng)調(diào)) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to realworld problems. Students are used to discussing important social issues(問題) with their friends and professors, and doing something about them in class or through volunteer activities. Once students develop those habits, they don39。t shut them off when graduation rolls around.（1）What does the underlined word echoing in paragraph 3 probably mean? ....（2）What is one of the reasons for the emphasis on students wanting to improve the world? habits students develop in society. appearance of important social issues. encouragement of the culture of colleges. effect parents39。 education has on their children.（3）What can you learn from the passage? people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work. than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values. college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work. graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates.（4）Which could be the best title for the passage?

In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra puter time. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn39。t worth doing unless you get something in return. Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It39。s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look. Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兌取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by pleting chores that they can turn in for reallife rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them. What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return? Write a 200word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@.
