应该有偿做家务吗？
Some children help around the home for free but according to a survey，almost half of the parents答案讲解hand over pocket money if household tasks are completed. Meanwhile，more and more children are now getting paid for doing chores. Should you be paid to do chores?
Yes—it's a good life lesson. Being paid to do chores helps you understand the relationship between work and making money. If you are making your own money，you know more about its value and you are less likely to spend it carelessly. What's more，if you are saving up for something expensive，you can make more money by doing more chores. Receiving payment encourages you to take responsibility(责任)for the task and do a good job in order to get paid. With no incentive(激励)，children may do the task badly，which is annoying for parents. Childhood isn't all about working. If children do have to do boring chores，
No—you should take part anyway. A You shouldn't get paid by helping your family. As a member of the family，you should help keep the home clean and tidy—after all you make some of the mess. B Besides，it is nice to feel part of a team with everyone pulling together. Lending a hand is a way of showing love to your parents. C Some parents just can't pay their children，so it's better that none do so. D Also，what if children start expecting to be paid for every tiny thing they do? Besides，lots of research shows that doing good deeds for others for no pay makes people happier.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇观点类英语任务型阅读题，解题时可以按照不同题型的特点逐个突破：1. 细节信息题直接回到原文对应段落定位题干关键词，直接提取原文给出的信息即可；2. 代词指代题需要往前追溯前文提到的核心名词，结合句意判断指代对象；3. 补全句子题需要结合所在段落的核心论点，梳理前后文的逻辑关系，写出符合语境的内容；4. 句子还原题要分析待还原句子的语义，找到语义衔接最紧密的前后文位置；5. 开放性表达题结合文本传递的观点，给出合理的观点和对应理由即可，做到言之有理。
【解析】
1. 定位到原文第一段的信息"according to a survey，almost half of the parents hand over pocket money if household tasks are completed"，直接提取对应信息即可得出答案。
2. 划线词it所在句的前半部分提到"If you are making your own money，you know more about its value"，后续的"spend it carelessly"中it指代前文提到的核心名词money，完全符合句意逻辑。
3. 第二段核心论点是支持做家务获得报酬，前文提到没有激励的话孩子可能把家务做得很差惹父母生气，空格前半句表述"如果孩子们确实要做无聊的家务"，顺着支持有偿的论点，此处填入和给孩子报酬相关的内容即可，符合上下文逻辑。
4. 待还原句子"They have done so much for you."的主语They指代父母，B处前文内容提到"Lending a hand is a way of showing love to your parents"，衔接该句刚好可以解释为什么帮父母做家务是表达爱的方式：父母已经为你付出了很多，之后再接C处的内容"Some parents just can't pay their children"逻辑连贯，因此该句放在C的位置。
5. 本题为开放性试题，只要观点正向，理由通顺符合逻辑即可，无统一标准答案。
【答案】
1. Almost half of them.
2. Money.
3. they should get paid/parents should pay them（合理即可）
4. In C.
5. It makes us happy. Because giving is happier than receiving. (答案不唯一,言之有理即可)
