The Johnson family developed a high-tech chore system combining Unit 3’s “chores negotiation” with Unit 7’s geography knowledge. Their digital chore chart automatically assigns tasks based on weather data from Mount Everest monitoring stations.
When sensors detect rainfall in the Himalayas (where Qomolangma is located), 14-year-old Tom’s phone gets a notification: “Himalayan rain → possible local afternoon showers → water plants after lunch.” Meanwhile, his sister Lucy’s schedule adjusts when air pressure drops: “High mountain low pressure → indoor chores → vacuum living room.”
Father Mr. Johnson commented, “This teaches responsibility while connecting daily tasks to global environments.” The family’s efficiency improved by 60%, with chore completion rates reaching 95%.
22．What determines chore assignments

Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among middle school students. It is a great way to spend our free time and help others at the same time. Last Sunday, my classmates and I took part in a volunteer activity in the community.
We got there at 8:30 in the morning. First, we cleaned the streets and picked up the rubbish. Some students watered the flowers and trees. Then we visited the old people who lived alone. We talked with them, washed their clothes and cleaned their rooms. An old grandma told us many interesting stories about her life. We also sang songs and danced for them. They smiled happily and praised us again and again.
I think volunteering is very meaningful. On the one hand, we can help people in need and make our community more beautiful. On the other hand, we can learn a lot from it. We learn to care about others, to be responsible and to understand the meaning of giving. We also get some useful experience that we can’t learn from textbooks.
If you want to be a volunteer, you can join the volunteer club in your school. You can help homeless animals, teach English to poor children, or help clean up the park. No matter what you do, your kindness will make a big difference to others.
25．When did the students do volunteer work
A．Last Saturday. B．Last Sunday. C．Last Friday. D．Last Monday.
26．What did the students NOT do
A．Cleaned the streets. B．Watered the flowers.
C．Cooked for the old people. D．Sang songs for the old people.
27．The underlined word “praised” means ________.
A．批评 B．表扬 C．想念 D．记住
28．Volunteering can help students ________.
A．get good grades B．make more money C．learn to care about others D．buy beautiful things
29．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage
A．To ask students to join in volunteering. B．To tell a story about old people.
C．To show how to clean the community. D．To introduce a new club.

Actress Jiang Yiyan has spent around a month a year volunteering as a teacher in mountainous villages in Guangxi for nine years in a row (连续).
In 2007, when she took part in film shooting (拍摄) in that area, she was shocked by the poverty (贫穷) there. Children had to walk along mountainous roads to attend classes at a neighboring village school. So she came up with the idea of doing something for these children.
Besides giving classes, Jiang also plays games with children and sings songs for them. And she cares much for their daily life. Moreover, she donated a billion yuan to set up a fund (基金) for students there.
“Like the grass in stone clefts (裂缝), they have to try their best to find sunshine on their own rather than waiting for others to do it for them,” Jiang said.
When asked how she persisted in her volunteer services for such a long time, Jiang said, “I’m not persisting but enjoying.”
“It's not that I gave these kids love. I am actually learning about love.” Jiang added. To enjoy and share love is seen as the most important thing in her life.
At the same time, children in the big mountains have also influenced Jiang.
“Whenever I meet with something difficult to do, I’ll think of these kids. Born in this kind of environment, they have to learn to face a lot of difficult things from birth. So, why can't I ” said Jiang.

Volunteers’ Week takes place every year from 1 to 7 June and is a good opportunity to find out how helping others makes you feel better.
②What is volunteering
Volunteering means giving your time, energy or skills without expecting anything in return. Millions of people around the country volunteer every year, and there are lots of ways you can join them, including raising money for charity, helping in your local community garden or park, or even carrying a neighbour’s shopping home.

There was a third one for me.
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, although the test was very easy, over half of them failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I am busy preparing lessons, and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better and we are now good friends.
