Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.

Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don't think kids should get rewards(報酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兌現(xiàn)) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”

1.Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A. Washing the dishes. B. Cooking meals.

C. Folding the clothes. D. Making the bed.

2.The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “_____”.

A. Running exercise is a kind of team work.

B. People work to get some rewards.

D. Doing the housework in only the parents' job.

4.According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ______.

A. do housework without rewards B. do more housework

C. stay away from housework D. do housework by getting rewards

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.

So how? The cars have sensors（感應(yīng)器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.

Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.

However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?

I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car – but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.

1.When using a driverless car, you need only .

A. read the road signs carefully B. check the cameras

C. put the address into the computer D. remember the directions

2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.

A. instructions B. standards C. advantages D. tests

3.The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “ “.

A. possibly B. successfully C. especially D. naturally

4.What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?

A. They’ll cause more accidents. B. They’ll be less expensive.

C. They’ll use less energy. D. They’ll run much faster.

Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.

Benjamin Franklin famously founded (創(chuàng)建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.

Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.

If you can easily find a public library in your community(社區(qū)), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.

Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (樂高積木) to build images(圖像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!

1.Benjamin Franklin founded the first lending library in _______.

A. 1731 B. 1800 C. 1886 D. 1919

2.How many public libraries have free Internet now?

A. 2767. B. 6458. C. 9225. D. 1679.

3.The right order of the following statements is ______ .

①The public library system in America developed fast.

②The first lending library was founded.

③ Libraries provide information and chances to ask for job online.

④ Libraries try to bring people into the library by using creative programs.

A. ②①③④ B. ②③④① C. ③④①② D. ①②③④

4.The last paragraph mainly tells us_________.

A. libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education

B. public libraries in the US should never close the doors

C. the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin

D. libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom

5.The best title for the passage is _______.

A. the libraries in the world

B. libraries and opportunities

C. libraries teach kids to read and learn

D. the development of the American libraries

1.A 2.B 3.A 4.D 5.D 【解析】試題分析：這篇短文給我們介紹了美國圖書館的發(fā)展歷史，從1731年Benjamin創(chuàng)建第一個公共圖書館開始，圖書館在幾百年間得到了迅速的發(fā)展。它在美國人的教育中起著重要的作用。 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
