六、阅读短文,回答问题
Letter A
Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time and that they will never be so free again. So, my question is—why fill up all the free time with housework? Parents expect their children to get good grades, be good at sports, and be popular with other kids. However, there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well. It's not fair (公平的) to expect teenagers to give up their valuable time to do boring housework. Parents' jobs are in the workplace. Their children's jobs are at school.
The only difference is that parents get paid but children don't. Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility (责任). But this is just a trick. Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.

Letter B
Both parents and children have jobs. The parents' jobs are to go to work to make money. The children's jobs are to go to school. But we all get hungry. Someone has to cook the meals and clean up later. We all wear clothes that get dirty. Someone has to wash them, iron them and put them away. Children work from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parents work from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sure, after 4 o'clock, children have homework. But after 6, parents have housework too. They have to do the shopping, go to the bank, pay the bills and help their kids with their own homework!
I think it's only fair that teenagers help a bit at home. They might not like it, but it's good for them. It teaches them how to look after themselves. This is really useful when .

Overworked

【分析】
1. 第1题：需从Letter A中寻找作者对学生日常生活的评价，文中提到学生要兼顾学业、运动等，还要做家务，时间不够用，由此可推断出作者认为学生日常很忙碌。
2. 第2题：直接定位Letter A中描述父母与孩子工作差异的句子，提取关键信息即可。
3. 第3题：根据Letter B中父母的工作时间段，计算工作时长得出答案。
4. 第4题：前文提到做家务能教会孩子照顾自己，结合生活逻辑，这种能力在孩子离开家或独立生活时会发挥作用，据此填空。
5. 第5题：属于开放性问题，列举自己常做的家务即可，需符合题目字数要求。
【解析】

2. 定位Letter A中的句子“The only difference is that parents get paid but children don't.”，直接提取该差异内容作为答案。
3. 由Letter B里“Parents work from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.”计算时长：18-8=10小时，故答案为For 10 hours.
4. 前文指出做家务能教会孩子照顾自己，结合生活实际，当孩子离开家或独立生活时，这种能力很实用，所以填they leave home/live on their own。
5. 开放性题目，列举常见家务，比如扫地、洗碗等，符合要求即可。
