Few parents can hear the words “What can I do to help?” from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on video games, computers and mobile phones, so they help less with housework.
Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China’s Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits. But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can’t see the advantages of students doing such chores. They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally (同等地) important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks, because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some will complain the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some will even challenge the schools’ teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students’ best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility (责任感) into students’ minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students’ in-school experiences more meaningful.
1.It can be learned from the first paragraph that teenagers today .
A.spend more time on housework.
B.are happy to help with housework when they are at home.
C.hardly ever do housework.
2.To help the students develop good habits, the primary school in Fuzhou required the students to .
A.finish homework at school
B.clean the school toilets
C.become school cleaners
3.What is writer’s attitude to the idea of the primary school in Fuzhou?
A.He doesn’t care.
B.He is strongly against it.
C.He agrees with what the school is doing.
4.What does the underlined phrase “make mountains out of molehills” mean?
A.愚公移山 B.山穷水尽 C.小题大做
5.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework
B.Doing House work Has Nothing to Do with Students
