Who does the housework at home It’s an interesting but important question. Dave has his own idea and answer. He says, “As I was a child, my mother believed in the importance of the housework. My sister Dee and I cleaned up the kitchen every night after dinner. Our parents usually planned some weekly tasks for us, such as sweeping and tidying. We must finish them on Saturdays. They expected us to make our beds and keep our bedrooms clean every week. Mum also found some seasonal (季节的) chores to give us, such as cutting grass, sweeping leaves, cleaning the room and so on.”
In fact, Dave didn’t agree with his mother. He always complained (抱怨) about the housework, but he did it. He still helps with housework now. His wife, Merry is very grateful to Dave’s mum. She has said to friends many times, “I’m lucky that Dave’s mum made him work around the house.”
Does that make Dave different I don’t think so. One new report shows that men’s work in the home is three times as much as that of forty years ago.
“Who does the housework ” is still a big question in many families today. In recent years, reports have shown wives usually do much more housework than husbands. A 2021 report showed 62 percent of Americans thought of sharing housework as the important point of the successful family. However, there were only 47 percent of people who had the same idea in 1990. In a family, sharing housework is before money and children. Also, sharing housework also sets an example for the children.

One of my least favorite chores is cleaning my bedroom, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says “a tidy home means a tidy mind”, and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly.
Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study shows that many children with bad behavior (行为) come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses would probably be unhealthy and they fall sick more often too. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank.
I am not a naturally tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom! That’s my wish too.
11．What does the mother think a tidy home mean
12．What might cause children’s bad behavior according to the study
13．What environment makes the writer and his sister healthy
14．What kind of person does the writer wish to be
15．Is your bedroom tidy or messy What do you plan to do from now on

Want to be a hero (英雄) Better take a trip to the Great Wall. As the saying goes: You are not a hero until you have climbed the Great Wall.
The Great Wall was a long wall to keep enemies (敌人) from the country. Nowadays it is regarded as a wonder of architecture (建筑). Millions of tourists come to visit it each year. Also, it is the most visited place for foreign leaders when they come to China.
Why is the Great Wall so inviting
The Great Wall has different parts and each one is very special. Jinshanling Great Wall in Hebei is the most beautiful section. In spring, it is in the middle of a white apricot blossom. During summertime, green plants circle the wall. In autumn, maple leaves paint a golden and red scene. And winter puts the great wall in a world of white snow.
The “wild wall” is great for backpackers. Wild parts of the wall are for the adventurous (敢于冒险的人) because they are the same as they were before. Jiankou Great Wall is a famous one. There are many kinds of plants on the wall. Trees grow up from in between the stones. In some places, you have to climb the stones with both your hands and feet. Be careful when you visit the wild walls. You’d better not go there alone.
Have you heard about Meng Jiangnu
The most well-known traditional story of the Great Wall is Meng Jiangnu. Meng Jiangnu is a woman from the Qin Dynasty. She walks a long way to the Great Wall to find her husband. He is one of the people to build the wall. But she finds him dead. She starts to cry, and suddenly a section of the Great Wall falls down.
How long is the Great Wall
Traditionally, we call the Great Wall “a long wall of 10,000 li (5,000 kilometers)”. But the wall is actually 21,196.18 kilometers, according to China’s State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

In some places of the world, people usually celebrate Family Day on the second Monday of February. Family Day is a day for families to have fun together. It’s a time for us to show love to our family.
Family Day was first held (被举办) in Alberta, Canada in 1990. It was held to show the importance of family to people. Later, Family Day was introduced to other places, such as Ontario and Saskatchewan. British Columbia celebrated Family Day as a holiday for the first time in 2013.
On Family Day, most people have a day off work. Many stores and supermarkets are closed, but post offices may be open. Buses run according to their usual timetables.
On that day, there are some kinds of activities. Many people plan and take part in activities, such as visiting art museums, watching movies, playing games and holding parties with their families. Some communities (社区) plan special activities, too.
The weather is usually very cold in February, so some people just choose to stay at home and do some cleaning, do some cooking or play games together. Hot chocolate and freshly made cookies are the most popular snacks for them. Some families may like to go to another (另一个) city to try something new there. Other people use the long weekend as a chance to take a short winter break, or to travel to visit friends.
These activities make family members know each other. Different families have different activities, but they are all very happy on Family Day. What about your family Day Could you tell us something about it
21．When do people usually celebrate Family Day
22．Where was the first Family Day held
23．Why do some families like to stay at home on Family Day
24．What do you think of Family Day Why do you think so
25．If your families want to have Family Day, how do you plan to celebrate it Why
Should parents ask their children to do chores Some don’t think that children should do chores, because they think children are too young. But many people think that children should do chores.
In fact, children can get a sense of happiness when they do chores. Parents should help children learn to do housework that they will have to do when they live on their own.
Most experts (专家) agree that children can learn a lot from doing chores. However, parents should ask the child to do chores at the right time. Parents shouldn’t ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework. And parents shouldn’t ask their children to do all chores. Children should do chores for half an hour every day.
The chores should suit (适合) the child. When a child does what his parents ask him to do happily, he will probably have the feeling of growing up. Parents can teach children something useful by doing chores. And please make sure that parents also do chores. Parents are children’s good models (榜样). If parents don’t keep the house clean, children won’t find any reason to do chores.
26．Why don’t some parents think children should do chores
27．How do the children feel when they do chores according to the passage
28．What does the underlined word “he” refer to (指的是)
29．How long should children do chores every day
30．What kinds of chores do you think are suitable for primary school students
Many children don’t like doing chores. But asking children to do chores is more than just getting the house cleaned. It can also help children to be independent and responsible.
Luckily, there is an app to help. The app You Rule Chores lets kids get up from the sofa and do chores. Through smartphone games, the app turns children into housework players. “It is difficult to get kids to do work around the house. We made the app to teach kids self-control, which is very important to their future,” one of the app engineers said.
The games are fun, and the app is super easy to use. You Rule Chores is my favourite chore app so far.—Sam, a middle school student Young kids like to help out around the house, but fewer parents hear the words “What can I do to help ” from their older kids. A study shows that only 65% of the kids aged 16 to 18 take part in chores.
You Rule Chores is an app the whole family will benefit from (从中受益). Now my kids often compete to see who can do more housework.—Brooke, a mother of three kids
How to use You Rule Chores First, each child needs to choose one of the app’s characters. Then the child can start to do chores. Once he finishes it, he can get some coins (硬币) from the app. He can use them to buy things from the online store.
How to use You Rule Chores
_______ → Do chores → Get coins → Buy things online
31．How does the app make children do chores
32．What does Sam think of the app
33．According to the research, what percentage of the kids aged 16 to 18 do chores
34．What’s the first step of the chart above
