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? A.They are against the idea.B.They fail to put it into practice.C.They doubt the possibility of it.D.They are finding excuses for their children.（2）Why does the author mention the small study? A.To state the reasons for early success.B.To give examples of some successful people.C.To prove doing housework is beneficial.D.To suggest kids take responsibility for their behavior.（3）According to the survey of American adults, how many of them used to do housework as children? ....（4）Why does the author write the last paragraph? criticize some irresponsible parents. discuss the impact of a good family atmosphere. advise parents to spend more time with their kids. offer parents some advice on assigning children housework.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，作者認為孩子應(yīng)該分擔(dān)家務(wù)，這不僅有利于培養(yǎng)他們的責(zé)任心，而且能提升他們的幸福感。而且家務(wù)能夠讓孩子在家庭和社區(qū)中的關(guān)愛角色與他們選擇的任何終身成就目標之間取得平衡，文章最后說明一些關(guān)于分配孩子做家務(wù)的建議。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“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.”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。可知少數(shù)家長覺得孩子學(xué)業(yè)太忙無暇做家務(wù)，但多數(shù)家長即便認為孩子該做家務(wù)，實際生活中也沒有很好地付諸實踐。可知對大多數(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 live
