Many parents make their children do chores around the house. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.
It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age. All family members must work together to make the house clean, and each person must do his or her share of the work. We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities when children are young.
Chores are good for children—even very young ones. Doing chores can teach children many important skills like working together. Chores also teach children what is fair. The skills and value from doing chores will be good to children all their life.

【分析】做这类英语阅读理解题，需先通读全文把握主旨，再针对每道题的题干回到原文定位关键信息，逐一分析选项的正误，排除与原文不符的选项，从而选出正确答案。具体解题思路：第1题需定位第一段内容，判断选项是否符合；第2题需结合上下文猜测划线单词的词义；第3题定位原文关于教孩子做家务的年龄的表述；第4题定位做家务能学到的技能；第5题需逐一判断选项是否与原文一致。
【解析】1. 定位第一段原文：“For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.”，说明不同家庭教孩子做家务的情况不同，对应选项D。A选项“all parents”与原文“some families”不符；B选项仅提及部分情况，不全面；C选项原文未提到孩子觉得做家务难，是家庭认为是问题，故排除A、B、C，选D。
2. 结合语境分析：“starting a plan of chores and responsibilities”中，chores指家务，and连接并列概念，结合“each person must do his or her share of the work”可知，responsibilities意为“责任”，故选C。A“杂事”、B“琐事”、D“家务”均不符合语境，排除。
3. 定位第二段第一句：“It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age.”，明确说明教年幼的孩子做家务是好的，故选A。B、C、D均与原文表述不符，排除。
4. 定位第三段原文：“Doing chores can teach children many important skills like working together. Chores also teach children what is fair.”，即做家务能学到“合作”和“公平”，对应选项A和C，故选D。
5. 逐一判断选项：A选项“small thing”与原文“chores are good for children”不符；B选项“only”表述绝对，原文未提及只有做家务的孩子知道公平；C选项对应第一段不同家庭的情况（有的容易有的难），即有的孩子愿意有的不愿意，符合原文；D选项与原文“teach their children at an early age”不符，故排除A、B、D，选C。
