Most children don’t enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert’s mother, Mrs Black, have good and proper ways to get their children to do housework.

Here is an example.

“Mum, have you worked out next week’s housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can’t wait. It’s fun!”

When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put ten cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mum cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom” and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.

To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.

1.From the passage we know that most children like ________.

A. doing housework B. playing computer games

C. playing cards D. doing homework

2.Jim and Robert chose ________ cards for the weekdays from Monday to Friday.

A. two B. four C. eight D. ten

3.Jim likes to ________.

A. clean the bathroom B. make the bed

C. feed the fish D. sweep the floor

4.Who did the housework on the weekends?

A. Jim B. Robert C. The parents D. The whole family

1.B 2.D 3.A 4.C 【解析】试题分析:这篇短文主要是讲现在很多孩子喜欢玩电脑而不喜欢做家务。文章通过举例,讲述在澳大利亚父母可以让孩子通过游戏选择的方式,激发他们做自己喜欢的家务。 1. 2. 3. 4.
