Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。而且家務(wù)能夠讓孩子在家庭和社區(qū)中的關(guān)愛(ài)角色與他們選擇的任何終身成就目標(biāo)之間取得平衡，文章最后說(shuō)明一些關(guān)于分配孩子做家務(wù)的建議。To prove doing housework is beneficial.D.To state the reasons for early success.B.D.They doubt the possibility of it.B. problem with children doing housework?

Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. 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。3．閱讀理解 通讀全文可知，文章主要分析了出國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的利弊，根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，文章旨在說(shuō)明對(duì)出國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)要慎重考慮，不能盲目跟風(fēng)，故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的so most students have to find parttime jobs in order to help support themselves可知，很多學(xué)生找兼職工作是為了養(yǎng)活他們自己，故選D。根據(jù)第三段中的saying in class可知，他們很難理解講師在課堂上所說(shuō)的話，由此可知畫線詞詞義為老師，故選B。根據(jù)第二段中的we can travel widely，visiting famous scenic spots及 our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced（先進(jìn)的）science and technology 可知，出國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)可以提高我們的外語(yǔ)能力、參觀著名景點(diǎn)和學(xué)習(xí)先進(jìn)的科學(xué)技術(shù)，而沒(méi)有提及有更多的機(jī)會(huì)找到好工作，故選A。learning very modern science and technology（2）The underlined word instructors in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________. （3）According to the passage, why do some students find parttime jobs? they want to learn more skills in a different country. they want to make full use of their time. they are not interested in studying. they have to support themselves.（4）The passage mainly tells us that _________
