In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards(奖赏) for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isnt worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids wont sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. “Every house 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 to keep our home clean.Other people have different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards can motivate kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. Now, there are also apps(应用软件) that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the Chore Monster app, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive(积极的) power to make them do chores.What do you think?

After I grew up, when I first took the first class, I felt like part of the rich group. I was filled with a sense of pride when sitting with those important people.Once I was on the plane, I noticed that the stewardess (空姐) was working all the time to make sure that first class passengers felt comfortable. I thought she must love her job very much, because she gave everyone a big smile. When the stewardess walked past my seat, I looked up at her and said, Thank you and I hope you have a great night. She stopped with a look of surprise on her face, and said, Excuse me? I said my words again. It seemed that I asked a question that she did not know how to answer.A little later, when I was getting off the plane, the stewardess said to me, Thank you very much, sir. Then she said, You are the only passenger who has thanked me or said anything nice to me all night. The pride of being part of rich group disappeared as soon as I heard these words. Then I came to understand that taking the first class didnt mean you were a real first class person.（1）Was the writer the only passenger who thanked the stewardess that night? （2）Why did the writer think the stewardess must love her job? （3）How did the stewardess feel when the writer said thank you to her? （4）What do you think is more important than being rich?
