25、   Completing chores promotes the development of many basic skills necessary for success in life. For younger children completing simple chores can improve coordination and motor skills (协调与行动技能). Completing chores also enhances a child’s ability to follow directions and helps develop planning and organization skills. Completing chores also helps children develop time management skills. Researchers found that children who did household chores also scored high on measures of academic success.

Doing chores also helps children develop a sense of responsibility. They not only engage in self-help skills which foster(培养) a sense of independence and a sense of shared responsibility. Successfully completing chores also promotes feelings of self-worth and belonging. When parents do everything, children may feel either dependent on others or may expect things to be done for them.

There is a reason we call chores, chores. Most people, including parents, don’t love doing them, but they need to be done anyway. It’s obvious that kids learning to take care of themselves and help around the house helps them to become more independent and ready for the freedom that will come when they get older. I think it is necessary to distinguish(区别) between self-help and maintaining the household. Some children consider picking up toys, making their bed, or even brushing their teeth as a chore.

The obsession with screen time by many children adds to the problem. They hate any activity that may rob(夺去) them of a few more minutes on their electronic devices. One rule of thumb(实用原则) should be that activities related to personal care, homework, and helping out the family or the family pet come first. When responsibilities are met and if there is time left, it can be used for recreational activities. The average kid in the U.S. receives an allowance (pocket money) of $800 per year. However, I believe that kids should do chores for the same reason parents do—because the chores need to be done, and not with the expectation of getting money. I suggest that an allowance ought to stand on its own, not as a payment but as a teaching tool. For example, allowances can teach kids about the value of saving, and how to plan to use money.

【1】The first paragraph is mainly about ______.

A.the benefits of kids doing chores

B.the skills a kid should have

C.the measures of academic success

D.the ways to be successful in life

【2】The writer probably agrees that ______.

A.pocket money can be a tool to teach kids about money

B.obsession with screen time may drive kids to do chores

C.kids know how to tell self-help from maintaining the household

D.kids can do everything on their own with the help of their parents

【3】The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ______.

A.doing chores is being responsible

B.kids should be away from screens

C.it’s good for kids to complete chores

D.kids who do chores are more independent

27、   When I was in the 7th grade my family traveled to Florida for winter break by car. All was going well while we were driving back, until we stopped at a gas station in Kentucky at 4:00 a.m., just hours away from home. As my sister and I hopped(跳)out of the car, my diary fell out onto the cold, dark sidewalk. And my deepest darkest 7th grade secrets lay there for the whole world to read. But I didn't even notice. Instead I hopped back into the car, and we drove away. When I got home I was very angry at my stupidity. For weeks, I could only imagine the possible results of my forgetfulness; strangers were talking about a silly girl's secrets.

Until one day, something amazing happened. I went to school and my name was called on the school radio—I had gotten a package from New York. I opened the yellow paper, and inside was my diary! Although the cover was dirty, it was there, and had been sent from the town in Kentucky to New York where it was then shipped me.

Along with the diary was a note from a man. He said after picking up my diary, he found my report card in the back, and shipped it to the address of my school. He also told me that he did not invade(侵犯) my privacy(隐私) which made the stone fall away from my heart.

To this day, I am moved by his unbelievable thoughtfulness and kindness—seeing my diary, taking time out of his day and money out of his pocket to sent it to me. I realize that it is to be considerate(考虑周到的）of others.

A.its cover was dirty B.a yellow paper was in it

A.proud B.surprised C.relaxed D.worried

【5】The writer might want to say "________" to the man most.

A.I'm very sorry for doubting you B.I'd like to return your money

C.Your wisdom really surprised me D.Thank you for being so thoughtful

28、阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

One of the letters was written on August 4, 2018. It said, “【2】 ['evrɪθɪŋ] around is covered by ice.
