Many kids help their parents with chores， such as doing the dishes， cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish． And some kids get money or other rewards（奖赏） such as more computer time by doing chores．
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores． Susie Walton．an expert， believes that by rewarding kids， parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something． "Running any kind of family is a team work，" Walton says． "A home is a living place for everyone in the family． It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house．"
Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money． There are also now apps（应用软件）． With the Chore﹣Monster app， kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores． Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world． "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards，" one man says．

Once there was a small hotel whose keeper was always caring about money．
One day， a businessman arrived． The keeper looked at the man's thick wallet and thought， "Oh， I wish that all the money could be mine!" The businessman didn't notice that， so he ordered the most expensive room and went to his room to dress for dinner．
Around the hotel， there were some beautiful ginger（姜） plants． Many people said that eating the buds（芽） of ginger would make a person forgetful．
The keeper thought， "If I serve some buds of ginger to the businessman， he may be forgetful to take his wallet!" Then she went to the kitchen．
Soon， businessman came downstairs and asked for dinner． The keeper was very excited as she served the dish to him． "Delicious!" said the rich man． When dinner was finished， he went to bed happily．
In the next morning， the keeper saw the businessman leaving from the front door．As soon as he was out of sight， she ran up to his room． She looked all over the room for the wallet，but she couldn't find it． Suddenly， she noticed a piece of paper on the floor． It was the businessman's bill（账单）． He had forgotten to pay it!

The number of buses，taxis and other transportations on Kenya's roads is growing every day．
Now，the country's first electric﹣powered motorbike is being made．The motorbike is designed（设计）to cut down on pollution． It's much cheaper so that most of people can afford it．
Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gas as fuel（燃料）， but not this new motorbike． Its energy comes from sunlight．
Three university students developed the new motorbike． It receives the sun's energy，stores it in batteries （蓄电池） and uses it to charge （充电） the electric motorbike．
Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors．"Our hope is that by the fifth year，we will be able to cover the whole Kenya with the electric motorbike in order to improve the environment and provide affordable transport． "
The students have set up a fueling station for the motorbikes in Nairobi． Riders can charge the motorbikes in the station． The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when they're fully charged． Once the power is used up， the motorbike has to return to the fueling station while another charged battery is connected to the motorbike． The US African Development Foundation is providing some money for two solar﹣powered charging stations in the Kenyan port of Kisumu．
Each motorbike costs about ﹩700． One motorbike rider says the new motorbike costs less to ride than motorbikes running on traditional fuel．" When talking about buying fuel， there is no need． It's basically good for everyone． Even though you won't carry quite a heavy load，you can go with it anywhere．"
A Nairobi dealership is selling the motorbikes． Businessman Kennedy Kusimba hopes they will become popular． "We also know they are more reliable， compared to the gas﹣powered motorbikes． They are more useful and they will last longer．"

What does it take to graduate from university？Some papers or high scores in exams？Well，these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University．
According to a new rule of the university，students must prove（证明）themselves in the swimming pool．They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters，and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years．By the time they graduate，they will have known how to swim；otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's degrees（学士学位）．
The news made waves in Chinese social media（媒体）．Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives，and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health．However，others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities（内陆城市）to be able to swim．
In fact，this is not a new rule．Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming．
Anyway，it is still good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued．Why not just take this chance to learn one more life﹣saving ability？
