八、阅读表达
阅读短文，按照要求完成后面的小题。
Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house. And some kids get money or other rewards(奖励) from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn't worth doing unless they can get something. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. Susie said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that it's all families' job to keep their homes clean.”
Other people have different opinions. They believe that rewards can encourage kids to do more chores. They also teach them real-world lessons that we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. Through the app, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as video game time or a mall trip.
Should kids get rewards for doing chores? Or should kids help out around the house without getting anything? What do you think? If you want to express your opinions, you can e-mail us at timeforkids@XXX.com by April 10.
1. What's Susie Walton's opinion?
2. Why do some people think kids should get rewards for doing chores?
3. Can we send mails to timeforkids@XXX.com on May 1st?
4. 请将画线句子翻译成汉语。
5. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文题目。
