Hi, I’m Yu Bo. Last year, I stayed in the UK for about two months. I found children’s life in the UK is really different from Chinese children’s. They have more free time to 【1】 their interests. They can choose to do things they like. But it also means that children don’t have to 【2】 their parents too much. They can take good care of themselves at an early age. At home, children have to learn how to【3】 such as sweeping the floor and 【4】 clothes. And they have to help with housework every day. At school, they don’t have much 【5】. They can take part in (参加 ) different activities and there is little homework for them.

All in all (总之), I think the children in the UK are more relaxed than children in China.

21、Nearly all kids have had the same experience. They are eating in a restaurant with their parents. They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, they are bored. Their little brother is kicking them under the table. He is also complaining about the desserts(餐后甜点). Yet their parents are still eating and talking…and talking…and talking.

“Be patient.” One parent says. “We’ll have dessert soon.”

All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.

Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are “family-friendly”. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every play area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.

The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐). The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored children pestering(烦扰) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.

On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries.

So, it’s possible for a restaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For others, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.

【1】Why do children get unhappy at the restaurant?

A. Because they can’t join in their parents’ talk.

B. Because the dessert isn’t served in time.

C. Because they can do nothing but wait.

D. Because the food there isn’t delicious.

【2】What is the real problem mentioned in the passage?

A. Children don’t like eating fancier food.

B. Not many nicer restaurants provide play areas.

C. Parents don’t trouble to comfort their bored kids.

D. People have to wait for seats in nicer restaurants.

【3】What conclusion can we draw from the research?

A. It’s common for nicer restaurants to provide good food and play areas.

B. Building play areas is more difficult for restaurants in colder cities.

C. Serving more kinds of foods may help restaurants to make more money.

D. It’s possible for restaurants to find a balance to make both happy.

【4】What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. Cities need to help develop restaurant business.

B. Children are supposed to be much more patient.

C. Restaurants are supposed to give kids some space.

D. Parents need to care more about their kids when eating.

23、Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.

Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don't think kids should get rewards（报酬）for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities（责任）in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want."

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed（兑现）either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them.”

【1】Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned（提到）in Paragraph1?

A．Washing the dishes.

B．Cooking meals.

C．Folding the clothes.

D．Making the bed.

【2】What's Walton's idea in the passage?

A．Running exercise is a kind of team work.

B．People work to get some rewards.

C．Kids have responsibilities in the house.

D．Doing the housework is only the parents' job.

【3】According to Chris Bergman，kids should be encouraged to_________________.

A．do housework without rewards

B．do more housework

C．stay away from housework

D．do housework by getting rewards

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Kids Should Study and Doing Housework

B．Let Children Do Some Housework

C．Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework?

D．Doing Housework Is Good for Children's Study

24、

Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump(垃圾堆).Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage (排污) system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets(厕所), bathtubs and other places.

To keep mice(老鼠) and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal(金属). The metal can be reused and recycled. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles(堆) where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.

【1】The passage is mostly about _____________.

A.environment B.travel C.history D.education

【2】How can we keep the mice and flies away?

A.Some water is used to cover the rubbish. B.Some earth can be used to cover the rubbish.

C.The fire burns the rubbish. D.The sewage system takes away the rubbish.

【3】How should we take care of a used metal box?

A.By burning it off. B.By putting it in water.

C.By throwing it away. D.By reusing and recycling it.

【4】According to the passage, the right order is ________.

① A house or a school may be built there.  ②The rubbish is collected and taken to a dump.

③ Grass is planted on the rubbished-filled earth. ④The rubbish dump is covered with some earth.

A.②④①③ B.③①④② C.①④③② D.②④③①

【5】The main idea of the passage is ________.

A.to let us know taking away rubbish is a big job B.to explain the need or rubbish collection

C.to introduce different ways to treat rubbish D.to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish

25、   In the United States, people enjoy entertaining（招待）guests at home. So they invite【1】 (friend) over a meal, a  party,  or just for coffee. People often send 【2】 (they)  invitation by saying, “Would you come over for dinner this Saturday evening?” “Hey, we are having a party on Friday. Could you【3】 (join) us?”

If people accept the invitation, they often say, “Yes, thank you.” 【4】 they cannot go, they  may say “I’m sorry”, and give an excuse for it.

Sometimes, people use some other expressions. They sound like invitations, 【5】  they are  not real invitations.【6】 example: “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?” In fact, these are not real invitations because they  【7】  not have a specifi（ 特定的）time ordate. They just show that the person  【8】(be) trying to be friendly, and he wants  【9】 (finish) a dialogue in a polite way. When people reply to expressions like these, they just say, “Sure, that would be great.” or “OK, thanks.” So next time you hear something like an invitation, listen【10】(careful) to make sure if it is a real invitation or the person is just being friendly to you.
