21、   Many parents set rules for their children’s online activity, such as limiting(限制) the time they can spend online. ________. They complain that their parents share too many photos of them online.

In a 2016 study, it was found that parents in the US share more than 116 photos of their kids after they are born. Most were taken before the child fumed 8 years old. Many of the photos showed kids in unhappy situations, like having food all over their faces, Quartz reported.

Parents do like to share their child’s progress as he or she grows up. But their kid doesn’t like it as much. In a survey(调查) of UK children between the ages of 12 and 16, 70% said they felt their parents didn’t respect them, reported by Digital Parenting magazine.

In addition, many kids said that others at school sometimes picked on them after their parents post photos online. CBS News noted. In one case, a girl was bullied(欺负) by boys at school after they found her mom’s blog. There were many family photos in the blog.

“Each time a photo or video is uploaded(下载), it is an important part of a child’s life, which can follow them into adult life,” a spokeswoman for a leading children’s charity in the UK said. “It’s always important to know their children’s idea before posting photos or videos of them.

22、There was once a King. When he told people to do things, they would never obey him. One day, the King decided to let the cleverest man — a wizard (男巫) to come up with the spells (咒语) which would get people to obey him. The man made hundreds of spells, but none of them worked.

A young man heard about it. He went to the palace, and told the King that he could help and then gave the king two small pieces of paper. “Use the first before saying what you want people to do, and use the second after they finish doing it.” A servant was passing by (路过), carrying a large turkey in his arms. The King said to him, “Please, let me see that turkey.” The servant was surprised by the King’s kindness. He never heard him say ‘please’ before. So he gave it to the King. The King, after looking at the turkey, said, “Thank you. You may go.” And the servant left. The young man’s spells really worked! The King asked him where he got the spells. “My teacher told me that we should use the polite (有礼貌的) words.”

24、   Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless they get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.

“Every house is a team effort，” Jane said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”

Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app Chore Monster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards，” says Joe Black, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive(积极的) power to make them do chores.”

【4】The purpose of the apps is to________.

A.give kids points and gifts

B.encourage kids to do chores

C.exchange points for real rewards
