阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes,making the bed,and folding the clothes. In exchange,they get some money or more 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(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Wal-ton,an expert,believes 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(义务) 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 (应用程序) that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,”says Chris Berg-man. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them.”
