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

In every country, there are thousands of people who want to help out. Many join organizations run(管理) by their governments, for example, the Peace Corps in the United States and Voluntary Service Overseas in Britain. Since the powerful(猛烈的) earthquake took place in Sichuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional skills for free. Others have no qualifications(资历), but they love to work hard to help.

One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families.

Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities, too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.

All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villages, Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you.

1.The Peace Corps is ________ in the United States.

There is more than one way to find out whether or not you are in the right field, or working at the right position. If you hate going to work each day, and are worried about the weekend’s end, it is one sign; but, there are other signs that you are bad at your job.

1. You always get left out

If you find that you can’t fit in with anyone who works in the office, it might not be the right place for you to work. If so, it is time for you to start looking elsewhere, because you might not be suited for what you are doing now.

2. You never get work to do

If you work with a larger team, but you are never chosen as a team leader, or even part of a team, it may be a sign that you are not great at your job.

3. You don’t get raises

When all other employees (员工) get a 1% annual pay (年薪) increase, or higher, yet you have had the same salary (薪水) for a few years, it may be a sign that you are just getting by. A raise is your boss’s way of thanking you for your hard work, and great service.

Wang Lei 1.

The most difficult thing about learning English is to remember new words. I study the words and remember them, but a week later I have forgotten most of them. When reading something in English, I always get into trouble when I come across a new word. There must be a better way to learn new words.

I have been studying English for so long now, but I don’t enjoy it any more. I used to like it, but now I feel that I’m not making any progress, I’m just not motivated any more. I wish there was something I could do to make me interested in studying English again.
