In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money (零花钱). They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.

School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. 1.他们经常在周末做家务。

Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.

2. When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. 3.他们必须更努力工作。They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.

4. Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.

21、One day it was raining heavily. I was late for a meeting in a nearby city that I knew only by GPS, and my phone died. I couldn’t find out how to get there or how to reach my friends.

I stopped at a McDonald’s in a poor part of a town and walked up to a mother and her daughter. “I’m sorry,” I said. “Do you mind if I make a call with your phone? I need to let my friends know I’m lost.” She handed me her phone and then told me I was lucky to make the last call—— she was about to turn it off because she didn’t have enough money to pay her phone bill (账单).

The young girl and the mother were holding (抱着) each other and talking together as I made the call. I got in touch with (和……取得联系) my friends. They, thankfully, knew where I was and told me how to get to them.

As I was leaving, I reached into my wallet. Luckily, there was $20. I put it into the mother’s hand and then turned to leave quickly. As I walked through the doors, I heard the mother crying. Her daughter called after me and said, “Madam, you have no idea how you just helped us.”

I still think back to that day even now. They had no idea how much they helped me, yet I was the one being thanked. It’s funny how that works.

D．She paid the bill for the writer’s phone.

【3】The mother and daughter felt ________ after taking the $20.

C．thankful

D．funny

【4】What does the writer mean (意思是) in the last paragraph?

23、Jia Wei, a middle school student from Jilin, is feeling down these days. “From the War between Russia and Ukraine to another rise in COVID-19 cases, pieces of bad news keep coming on one after another,” Jia said. “I feel confused, sad and scared.”

Jia’s example shows how people can be affected by traumatic (不幸的) events, even when events didn’t directly happen to them.

The situation can get worse if they see frequent (频繁的) media reports. A study shows that teenagers who often see information on unlucky events are 1.45 times more likely to have stress (压力) than those who seldom do so. If teenagers often see pictures and videos of the damage (破坏), they are 1.84 times more likely to feel unhappy. So how can we deal with stress after upsetting news? Psychologist (心理学家) Li Songwei, has something to say.

Try to avoid pictures or videos that make you feel uncomfortable. Try to get to know about what happens by reading text or talking with people. At the same time, we need to understand that bad things happen. Uncertainty (不确定性) and imperfection are parts of the world. Only by facing it can we deal with it better.

If you can’t help checking your phones, learn about time management (管 理). For example, take half an hour to read news and then put your phone away. Focus on things like exercise and studying so that you won’t be affected by negative (负面的) feelings for too long.

【1】According to the study, what makes stress worse for students?

A．Getting more disaster-related information.

B．Taking more airplane flights.

C．Experiencing traumatic events.

D．Having less sleep.

【2】According to Li, what can we do about our bad feelings?

A．Stop talking to other people.

B．Try to accept the uncertainties and problems of the world.

C．Stay away from people who often read news.

D．Learn to face your problems alone.

【3】What can we do to redirect (转移) our attention, according to Li?

A．Spend more time learning about the news.

B．Use our phones to study.

C．Take classes to learn time management.

D．Put away our phones and do some exercise.
