Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. ’’Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,’’ says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them."
What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?

When we first moved into our present home, the houses only had a chain-link fence （铁丝网围栏）between them. People behind us were older；their children were in their late teens, and we didn’t see them or hear from them much.
Time passed and a younger family moved in. While at first we thought this would be fun for the kids, it quickly became a pain. If one of our children had a birthday party the neighbors would line up their children along the back fence to watch. We would have invited their children if they had been of the same age. While our older children had parties the neighbor’s little kids would shout through the fence the entire time; we knew it was time to get a new fence.
When we built our fence next to the old one, they not only paid nothing for it, but watched us have it built. After we built our fence the mother of the house would call over and ask who was jumping on our trampoline (蹦床). She could only see the tops of their heads and couldn’t figure out who it was. Good people, just too much interest in us. Years later they rebuilt their houses and built a pretty fence between the houses next to the old one. They were not surprised that we didn’t want to pay for it. I have to admit their fence is much prettier than our wooden one.
Our yard is next to four other homes; each of the families has had his own home with a strong fence. We have left ours in place. While we love all our neighbors we are glad we have fences between each of us. Only in this way can we protect our little privacy (隐私), as fences certainly do make good neighbors.
1.Why did the author’s home have a wooden fence built?
A. The wooden fence looked more beautiful.
B. With the fence his home could become safer.
C. They didn’t want their little privacy to be known.
D. The author’s family didn’t like their new neighbor.
2.How did the mother know the children were jumping on the trampoline?
A. She learned about it by telephoning.
B. She saw the tops of the children’s heads.
C. She heard the sound of the children’s jumping.
D. Her children told her about it.
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The author’s neighbors all have built strong fences.
B. Old people living behind liked children very much.
C. The young neighbors wanted the author to pay for the fence.
D. The young neighbors were very angry about the author’s ugly fence.
4.We can guess from the passage that .
A. the young mother of the house was interested in other families’ life
B. the neighbor of the author started to live there when the author was very young
C. the author thinks that the fences destroy the friendship between the neighbors
D. the author’s family was not a big one when the younger family moved here
