21、Many parents make their children do chores around the house. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. For other families, asking children to do some housework can be a very big problem.

It is a good idea for parents to tell their children that all family members must work together to make the house clean, and each member must do his or her part of the work. This can be done by starting a program of chores when children are young.

Doing chores is good for children — even very young ones. On the one hand, doing some chores teaches children many important skills. For example, children can learn how to work together with others. On the other hand, doing chores can teach children to take care of themselves. In short, the useful skills they learn by doing chores will benefit them in their life.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A．It’s easy to ask children to do chores.

B．It’s difficult to ask children to do chores.

C．Children act differently about doing chores in different families.

D．Parents shouldn’t ask their children to help around the house.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Children needn’t do their part of the chores.

B．Children can learn how to work with others through doing chores.

C．Doing chores can help students to take care of themselves in the future.

D．Parents can start a program of chores at home.

【3】What does the underlined word “benefit” in the last paragraph mean?

A．使……受损

B．使……受益

C．使……健康

D．使……幸福

【4】What is the writer’s opinion about children’s doing chores at home?

A．Meaningful.

B．Useless.

C．Unnecessary.

D．We don’t know.

22、I thought I would never have a child—then a miracle happened.   

When I was only 29, doctors said I had too many medical challenges to have a child. My best friend Colleen, trying to distract (使分心) me from my sadness, asked me to shop with her one day. There, a babysuit with a crab (螃蟹) caught my eye! If things were different, that crab would have made me laugh. Instead, I said, “If I ever had a son, I’d want him to have that.” “Sarah, you have to get it.” Colleen said.   

I shook my head. I didn’t want a reminder of what I couldn’t have.   

The next Sunday, my husband, John and I went to church. There, I noticed a tiny baby in the arms of a woman. On his backside was the same crab I’d seen. My breath caught!

I turned to John and whispered, “That’s the babysuit I was telling you about.”

He cocked his eyebrows.   

Throughout the service, I was totally attracted by the baby. In the end, the priest made an announcement: “The baby needs home. If anyone is thinking about adoption, please see us afterwards!”

We left our phone numbers soon.   

That evening, the young mother, carrying the baby, came to our home. Before we sat down, I held her baby. He fitted perfectly in my arms.   

Twelve families had volunteered to foster him. If she picked us, all she asked was that we let her be involved in his life in some way. We agreed wholeheartedly.   

I never mentioned the crab babysuit. I wanted her to make her decision without being influenced.   

The next morning, my phone rang. “We picked you!” was all I heard.

Now our six-year-old son continues to be the best unexpected thing that will ever happen to me. And that crab baby suit remains neatly folded in my dresser drawer, where plan to hold on to it—forever!

【1】Sarah didn’t want to get that babysuit because ________.

A．the crab could always make her laugh

B．it would remind her of her physical problem

C．she didn’t like to see a kid in such clothes

D．she was in no mood to shop that day

【2】When Sarah saw the crab on the baby’s clothes, she might feel ________.

A．shocked and excited

B．sad and lost

C．nervous and worried

D．touched and joyful

【3】The underlined word “foster” in Paragraph probably means ________.

A．visit

B．educate

C．adopt

D．drop

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A．The young mother finally chose Sarah because of the crab babysuit.

B．Both Sarah and John became interested in the baby the moment they saw him.

C．The mother went to the author’s home to tell her she’d picked them.

D．the author might be thankful for what had happened to her.

【5】The best title of the passage could be ________.

D．An Unpleasant Reminder

24、综合填空：

Someone says: “Time is money,” but I think time is e  【1】 __ more important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time is g  【2】 _, it will never r 【3】 _  .
