三、阅读理解：本大题共10小题，共20分。
A
Different families have different ways of handling chores and pocket money.Some parents believe paying children for doing chores teaches important lessons，while others think chores should be done without rewards because they believe helping around the house is just what kids should do as part of the family.Let's see how these different ideas work in real life.
One common way is to pay kids for each chore—like S i for washing the dishes.Parents who use this method say it teaches kids the value of working for money，but some notice that children may only help when paid.
Another way is to give pocket money（零花钱） weekly or monthly if children finish all chores.This makes chores feel less like work.But kids might still do chores just for money，not because they want to.
Some parents don't pay kids for chores because they believe it might make kids focus more on rewards than on their sense of duty.To them，chores are something kids need to do as part of the family.But these parents might still give kids pocket money—just set for chores.They want kids to learn how to handle money wisely while connecting money to housework.However，if they do this，children might not see the connection between work and money.
The middle ground is paying only for bigger，more challenging chores，like washing the car，but not for small daily chores，like making the bed.This way，children can not only learn that helping the family is important，but also realize that extra（额外的） work can bring extra rewards.
In a word，no single chore-money rule is perfect.If one way doesn't work，try another until you find what works.
16.Which is a disadvantage（缺点） of paying kids for each chore？ ______
A. Kids may feel that chores are too tiring.
B. Kids may hate doing daily small chores.
C. Kids may not learn how to handle money wisely.
D. Kids may only help with chores when getting paid.
17.Why do some parents disagree with paying kids for chores？ ______
A. They think kids should do chores out of duty.
B. They want kids to spend more time studying.
C. They think it's the parents' job to do chores.
D. They don't want kids to have too much pocket money.
18.What is the"middle ground"way of dealing with chores and pocket money？ ______
A. Paying kids for every small daily chore.
B. Giving no pocket money to kids at all.
C. Paying only for big and difficult chores.
D. Giving weekly pocket money for any chore.
19.What is the main idea of the passage？ ______
A. The importance of letting kids do chores at home.
B. The best way to help kids develop a sense of duty.
C. The ways to teach kids how to make pocket money easily.
D. The different opinions of chores and pocket money in families.
20.Which shows the structure（结构） of the passage？ ______
A. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ C. ①②③/④⑤⑥ D. ①②/③④/⑤⑥

A letter from far away just for a wall.
Is not right or good at all.
Three chi to your neighbour as a gift.

Mom's gentleness surprised me，which was totally opposite to her daily strictness and even terribleness."Sister pig，ha ha!Every thing is a piece of cake!" My annoying sister Lucy came and gave me a chocolate.
This is the common family style in my home.Although I just failed an exam and was in low spirits，their love can always give me comfort and power to cheer myself up.For me，a home means love.It is a place where kindly feelings exist among all the members.And it's a place where I draw strength and courage to face the challenges of life.A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is not a man.
