【分析】
本题分为三部分：A部分考查英语基础语法（动词形式、物主代词、时态、比较级、动名词、固定搭配等），需结合语境和语法规则填写正确形式；B部分考查从原文提取关键信息，需定位原文对应词汇；C部分考查文章结构分析，需梳理段落间的逻辑关系（总-分-总）。解题时，先分析A部分每个空的考点，再从原文找B部分的对应词，最后梳理C部分的段落结构。
【解析】
A. 1. 考查固定句型it is important for sb to do sth，故填to learn；
2. 修饰名词parents需用形容词性物主代词，故填their；
3. 主语it为第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用三单形式，故填teaches；
4. 考查固定结构“the + 比较级，the + 比较级”，表示“越……越……”，good的比较级是better，故填better；
5. in是介词，后接动名词，故填keeping；
6. household chores为固定搭配，意为“家务”，chore用复数形式，故填chores；
7. 考查固定搭配spend time with sb，意为“和某人共度时光”，故填with；
8. 考查固定搭配both...and...，意为“两者都”，故填and；
9. 考查固定搭配not only...but also...，意为“不仅……而且……”，故填but；
10. member是可数名词单数，此处表泛指，且responsible以辅音音素开头，故填a；
B. 从原文提取对应关键信息：1. 对应原文life skills；2. 对应原文the better；3. 对应原文their house；4. 对应原文the importance；5. 对应原文be fun；6. 对应原文preparing meals；
