Do you like doing chores What do you think of doing chores A new study shows that it can make you smarter.
The study was done by a team at a university in Australia. More than 200 parents and kids aged between 5 and 13 joined in it. Parents told about how many chores their kids did each day and if the kids actually finished each job.
Tepper led the study. It showed that doing chores like cooking or cleaning was especially helpful to young people. “Kids who often cook meals or do the cleaning are able to do other things well, like problem solving,” said Tepper. It also showed that self-care chores and family-care chores could greatly improve kids’ ability (能力) to think before acting. According to the study, 70% of girls made their own beds while 50% of boys made their own beds. However, 66% of boys took out the rubbish and only 43% of girls did that.
Tepper and her team were happy with what they learned. “We were really excited,” she said. At the same time, Tepper pointed out that chores sometimes seemed boring to kids, so parents should pick those that their kids enjoyed.
“Not all chores are boring!” Tepper added. “Find activities that your kids like. They will enjoy doing chores and can learn about healthy eating or the environment.”

C．Doing chores can help kids become cleverer.
D．Doing chores isn’t good for kids’ development.
When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.
This is the finding of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and happier future. “Children who worked in the home or community (社区) got ability and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society (社会),” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them”.
Brown’s study followed these children. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers’ compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop independence and ability. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The most able adults are those who know how to do this.
Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live successfully in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
9．Why did other kids feel sorry for Justin Tong when he was a child
A．Because his parents let him do lots of housework. B．Because he couldn’t carry heavy things
C．Because his parents had him doing much homework. D．Because he was unhappy.
10．Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2
A．Children who enjoy happier and richer lives
B．Children who work in the home or community.
C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study.
D．Children who feel good about people around them.
11．How did Brown follow the children in his study
A．By giving housework and praise. B．By interviewing and giving scores.
C．By setting goals and showing love. D．By solving problems and testing them.
12．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To talk about an interesting study. B．To introduce Justin Tong’s success.
C．To tell us about childhood activities D．To encourage children to work hard.

四、任务型阅读
阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。
Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems. Other volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to mountains, beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.
41．Where can you often find volunteers in the United States
42．How do volunteers help the people who are sick or old
43．Why do most of the boys’ and girls’ clubs use many high school and college students as volunteers
44．How can you help people in need Write 30 words or more.
