Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games instead of cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs. Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.
Here is an example.
“Mom, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!”
When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom” and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom best, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom” first. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.
To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and thought up this idea. Of course, their parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free. From the passage we know that most children like ________.
| A．doing housework | B．playing computer games |
| C．playing cards | D．doing housework |
Jim and Robert chose ________ card for the weekdays from Monday to Friday.
| A．two | B．four | C．eight | D．ten |
Jim likes ________ best．

| C．feeding the fish | D．sweeping the floor |
The underlined phrase “thought up ” probably means “________”.
| A．looked at | B．gave up |
| C．came up with | D．believed in |
Who did the housework on the weekends?
| A．Jim | B．Robert |
| C．The parents | D．The whole family |
Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge. If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.
Don’t use earphones when running in the schoolyard or on the street. You will keep yourself from the outside world and can be easily surprised.
Schoolbags should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting them on your back. When buses are crowded, it is easy enough for thieves to steal the things in your bag on your back.
If you are followed by a stranger, cross the street and go to the other way, let the stranger know that you know he or she is after you. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Don’t go home directly. You are safer on the street than you are in your home or in a lift.
If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes before the buses leave. This prevents a stranger from studying you. On buses, don’t sit alone, sit behind a driver or with friends. Don’t sleep.
Don’t play with matches(火柴）or candles, because it may cause fire. If your house catches fire and you have to escape through smoke, move on your hands and knees with your head 30 to 60 centimeters(厘米）above the floor. Please remember there is cleaner, cooler air near the floor during the fire.

Students are generally encouraged to ask questions during class, to go to the teacher’s office for help after class, and to phone if they can’t go to school and need help with their lessons. (2)Most teachers allow students to enter class late or leave early, if necessary.
However, students are still asked to be (1) to their teacher and classmates and to be (1) during a test. When students want to ask questions, they usually put up a hand and wait.

Millions of young people are writing blogs. Millions of others are reading them. The word“blog”is a short way of saying Web log.
Many popular Web sites now offer free，easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures. Web sites called “ Facebook ” and “MySpace” are some of the most popular blog sites for young people. Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives.
