I am Li Ming. I grew up in the countryside. I learned more useful skills than those who grew up in cities.
The first skill I learned was cooking. My parents often came home late and a prepared meal would help them have dinner soon. So I learned to make dough(生面团) at around 10 years old. It's difficult. However， it didn't take too long time for me to find the right way. A year after that， I learned to cook different things like noodles and dumplings. I fell in love with cooking because it's relaxing. More importantly， thanks to my cooking skill， I live better because I cook every meal instead of ordering online. It saves money.
Besides cooking， I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I learned to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work， the experience taught me a lot. For example， I learned that the fruit of peanut(花生) grows under the earth. Also， the truth of happiness sometimes comes from learning in person. You'll treasure(珍惜) everything on your plate.
The useful skills I learned not only improve my independence but also supply a new way for me to look at the world. When I heard students in primary and middle schools have labour(劳动) lessons every week， I was happy. The labour education will help students for the rest of their lives.
( )26. Why did Li Ming learn to cook at first？
A. Because he was bored at home. B. Because he wanted to save money.
C. Because he wanted to be a cook. D. Because he prepared dinner for his parents.
( )27. How could Li Ming live better？
A. By having the labour lesson. B. By learning the cooking skill.
C. By keeping the strong spirit. D. By developing the experience in the city.
( )28. What did Li Ming learn from farm work？
A. Ways to cook different things. B. Differences between farms.
C. The truth of independence. D. The importance of saving food.
( )29. What does the underlined word “supply” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A. Provide. 　 B. Solve. 　 C. Raise. 　 D. Fight.
( )30. Which can be the best title for the passage？
A. Children's Stress in Daily Life B. The New Lesson at School
C. Labour Education Is Important D. Growing Up in the City

Mothers often do all kinds of things for their families and their kids. And they have little time for themselves. But do you know how much time they spend on different kinds of things in their daily lives？ A new study shows the daily timetables(时间表) from 100 mothers. From the timetables， we know something amazing. The mothers spend 70 hours a week doing chores and looking after their families. They spend more than ten hours cooking， cleaning the house， getting children ready for school and helping with homework every day. Cooking needs about one hour and nine minutes a day. Washing the clothes takes about 61 minutes. Mothers also spend about 55 minutes getting children ready for school， about 53 minutes helping them fall asleep and about 47 minutes helping with their homework. However， mothers with children under 16 get less than six hours' sleep at night. 83% of the mothers are not happy because they have less than an hour of their own time every day. Only 17% are happy with this kind of life. Our mothers are busy and tired every day， so we should do something to show our love to them.

Hello， everyone. I enjoy doing housework. It can not only help my parents relax， but also develop my independence.
Last Friday afternoon， I arrived home earlier than my parents， so I decided to prepare dinner for them. I cooked potato pancakes—their favorite food. When they came back home， they tried some and told me they were the best pancakes in the world. You couldn't imagine how happy I was when I heard that！
From this experience， I learn parents are easy to have a feeling of happiness. So I plan to do more housework from now on to make them happy.
That's all. Thank you for listening.
