22、B) 阅读短文，从每小题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。

Do you know pleasure of Farmhouse(农家乐)? It’s a new way for holidays in China. Now, more and more people are interested in it, especially young people. Every weekend, thousands of people drive to the countryside. The farmers invite them to their farms even homes. Many people help the farmers work on the farms, such as fishing, watering the crops or picking apples. If you come to the farm, you will fall in love with the country life at once. Here you can listen to the birds, enjoy the beautiful view of countryside, breathe the fresh air and watch the crops grow. You can even taste the fresh produce, such as tomatoes and strawberries.

Pleasure of Farmhouse brings a good chance to enjoy the life of countryside, especially for people living in the cities. It can make them relax.

One farmer said, “Welcome children to our farms. We will show you where your food comes from.”

23、When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward(奖励)? It is common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.

One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. Kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also says, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all should play our part in keeping our home clean.”

Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards encourage kids to do more chores. Rewarding them also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that they need to work to make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster. With the app, kids get points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.

So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.

【1】Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion?

A．Don’t ask kids to do housework.

B．Don’t give kids rewards for doing chores.

C．Don’t allow kids to play computer games.

D．Don’t let children play a part in doing chores.

【2】What do people want to teach kids by giving kids rewards for doing chores?

A．People need to work to make money.

B．Doing chores is a good way to make money.

C．They can only be allowed to watch TV by doing chores.

D．They must share housework because they live in the same house.

【3】Which idea may the writer agree with?

A．Parents should give rewards to let their kids do chores.

B．Kids should offer to help with chores at home.

C．Apps are better choices for parents than money.

D．We don’t know what’s the best way to get kids helping.

24、Everyone wants to be perfect. Finding a good way to achieve self­improvement (自我提高) is more and more popular. For this, the beginning of a new term is a great time to think about ways that you can improve in the coming school year. Here are some suggestions for New term’s resolutions(决心).

Firstly, make sure your goal is realistic (现实的). Winning the lottery (彩票), for example, may not come true. Then, describe your resolutions in detail, instead of “I don’t want to be lazy”, or “I want to exercise every day”. At last, change large goals into small ones. For example, if you want to lose weight, you can start by exercise.

Our new term’s resolutions and goals can be about anything, from saving more money so that you can buy a really cool toy, to making more friends, or to spending more time with your family. Start by writing down some goals on a piece of paper. After you finish, keep the paper somewhere you can see, like on your fridge or a wall in your room. Don’t forget to check the things on the paper if you complete.

【1】People find ways to achieve self­improvement for ________.

A．having more money

B．being perfect

C．losing weight

D．making more friends

【2】Winning the lottery may not come true because ________.

A．it’s a very large goal

B．it takes a long time

C．it’s not realistic

D．it’s not a resolution

【3】What does the underlined phrase “in detail” mean in Chinese?

A．详细地

B．犹豫地

C．激动地

D．默默地

【4】What should people do after writing down the goals on a piece of paper?

A．Throw the paper away.

B．Never mention the goals to others.

C．Share the goals with others.

D．Put it somewhere they can see.
