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 houseowork 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, believe hat 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 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(程序) 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. ” 56. Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Wshaing the dishes. B. Cooking meals. C. Folding the clothes. D. Making the bed.

57. The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “_____”. A. as a reward B. for punishment C. on sale D. under control 58. What’s Walton’s idea in the passage? A. Running exercise is a kind o f team work. B. People work to get some rewards. C. Kids have responsibilities in the house. D. Doing the housework in only the parents’ job.

Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties () in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.

The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner’s family for three generations(代). Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.
