【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 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@.

A friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways. My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (節(jié)儉). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers。 at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don39。t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties. Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word failure.（1）This passage tells us ____.

When paring something, you often add an er to the end of the parative adjective. The general rule is that onesyllable(音節(jié)) words get the suffix(后綴), and polysyllabic words get more or most. That is, unless the twosyllable word ends in a y。 if that39。s the case, you will add the suffixes and change the y to an i. But what abo
