the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. in exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.but some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. susie walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isnt worth doing unless you get something in return. running any kind of household is a team effort, susie said. a home is a living space for everyone in the family. its important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. there are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. with the choremonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra xbox time or a trip to the mall. our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, says chris bergman, founder of choremonster. kids need positive reinforcement(强化) to help motivate them.what do you think? should kids be rewarded for doing chores? or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?write a 200-word response. send it to . your response may be published in a future

viewpoint about parentingb “mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet?” jessica asked. “a skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “well, its something that you would rather nothave anyone else know about. for example, if in the past, someone in dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. he really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.” “why pick on my family?” jessicas father said with anger. “your family history isnt so good. you know. wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to australia for his crimes?” “yes, but people these days say that you are not a real australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners .” “gosh, sorry i asked, i think i understand now,” jessica cut in before things grew worse. after dinner, the house was very quiet. jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. when she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to jessicas closet. just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. jessicas mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. she looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter. “what happened？where am i?” she asked. “you just destroyed the schools skeleton, mum,” explained jessica. “i brought it home to help me with my health project, i meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as i mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and dad.” jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “theyre both crazy,” shethought.25.according to jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means _.a.a family honor b. a family treasurec.a family story d.a family secret26.what can we learn about some australians ancestors from paragraph 2?a.they were brought to australia as prisoners.b.they were the earliest people living in australiac.they were involved in some crimes in australia.d.they were not regarded as criminals in their day.27. jessicas mother fell down into a faint because she was _.a.frightenedb.surprisedc.injured d.knocked28. jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because_.a. they were crazy b. they realized their misunderstandingc. they were overexcited d.they both thought they bad won the quarrelcbad news sells. if it bleeds, it leads. no news is good news, and good news is no news. those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. but now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. by tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “the if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says jonah berger, a scholar at the university of pennsylvania. “they want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. but when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. you dont want them to think of you as a debbie downer.” researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communicatione-mails, web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? to test for that possibility, dr. berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on the new york times website. he and a penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. one of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. he found that science amazed times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others. readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. they needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. the more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as dr. berger explains in his new book, “contagious: why things catch on.”29 .what do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?a.research papers. b. private e-mails.c. news reports. d. daily conversations30. what can we infer about people like debbie downer?a. theyre socially inactive. b. theyre good at telling stories.c. theyre careful with their words. d.theyre inconsiderate of others.31.which tended to be the most e-mailed according to dr. bergers research?a .personal accounts. b. sports news.c. science articles. d. financial reviews.32 .what can be a suitable title for the text? a. good news beats bad on social networks b .reading habits change with the times c. sad stories travel far and wided. online news attracts more peopledtea，the most typical english drink，became established in britain because of the
