【题目】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.

【题目】My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home.But he would come back to help to harvest(收割)rice every year.

One autumn,he promised to help our neighbor,who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999,to harvest his rice.After Father harvested our own。his little rice picker broke.What’s worse,he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital.It meant that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days.It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn’t let the neighbor’s rice rot(糜烂)in the field.He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine.“If tonight’s weather is clear.I think I can do it,”added my father.In fact,he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner。Father had a short rest and made his way to the field.A full moon was glowing(发光)in the sky and the weather was cold but clear.He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(画面):Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon.Behind him,row after row of rice stocks(秸秆)stood at attention,showing respect for a man who kept his word.
