Ⅴ. 阅读理解。
Do you like doing chores? What do you think of doing chores? A new study shows that it can make you smarter.
The study was done by a team at a university in Australia. More than 200 parents and kids aged between 5 and 13 joined in it. Parents talked about how many chores their kids did each day and if the kids actually finished each job.
Tepper led the study. It showed that doing chores like cooking or cleaning was especially helpful to young people. “Kids who often cook meals or do the cleaning are able to do other things well, like problem-solving,” Tepper said. It also showed that self-care chores and family-care chores could greatly improve kids’ ability to think before acting. According to the study, 70% of girls made their own beds while 50% of boys made their own beds. However, 66% of boys took out the rubbish and only 43% of girls did that.
Tepper and his team were happy with what they learned. “We were really excited,” he said. At the same time, Tepper pointed out that chores sometimes seemed boring to kids, so parents should pick those that their kids enjoyed.
“Not all chores are boring!” Tepper added. “Find activities that your kids like. They will enjoy doing chores and can learn about healthy eating or the environment.”

【分析】
这是一篇关于做家务对孩子益处的阅读理解选择题，分别考查文章开头方式、细节信息提取、推理判断。解题时需先定位原文对应内容，再逐一分析选项：第1题需判断文章开篇的方式；第2题需找到做家务对孩子帮助的原文表述；第3题需结合原文排除错误选项，推断合理结论。
【解析】
1. 文章第一段以两个问句“Do you like doing chores? What do you think of doing chores?”开篇，作者通过提问的方式开启文本，对应选项C。
2. 根据第三段内容，做家务能帮助孩子“do other things well, like problem-solving”（对应①解决问题），还能“greatly improve kids’ ability to think before acting”（对应③三思而后行），因此选A。
3. A选项“All”表述绝对，与原文不符；B选项仅从整理床铺、倒垃圾的数据无法得出女孩更擅长家务；C选项“all chores”与原文“pick those that their kids enjoyed”不符；D选项符合原文“Find activities that your kids like. They will enjoy doing chores...”的表述，因此选D。
