Answer 1

 [主旨大意]文章主要介绍了西班牙国会通过了一项法律草案，要求儿童在家必须做家务。草案

如果正式通过，孩子不做家务将属于违法。已婚男子也必须做家务，否则会受到惩罚。最后同中国的情况进行了比较。

1. be required根据本句中的关键词by law可知用被动语态。

2. join have to后接动词原形。

3. includes句意：那包括家务活和家里的其他劳动。主语为that ,所以动词要用第三人称单数形式。

4. called根据后面的名字，可知此处用过去分词called作后置定语。

5. doing介词with后面要用动名词形式。

6. better根据本句中的关键词than可知句子应用比较级。

7. to do refuse to do sth.意为"拒绝做某事"。

8. kinds句意：儿童在不同的年龄应该学做不同的家务活。

9. impossible根据本句中的关键词but可知对中国儿童还几乎是不可能的。 

10. usual根据本句中的关键词housework可 知应用形容词来修饰。 

11. have protected根据本句中的关键词since 可知主句应用现在完成时。 

12. themselves句意：孩子应该意识到他们是家庭中的一员，并且有责任照顾他们自己和家庭成员。
