13.Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务)such as emptying the dishwasher,putting laundry away,and taking out the trash.In exchange,some kids get allowances(补贴)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 (强化) 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?
Write a 200-word response.Send it to tfkasks4you@timeforkids.com.Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids.Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published.The deadline for responding is February 18.

28. How does the author start the passage?C
A.By comparing different views.
B.By listing some evidence.
C.By presenting some facts.
D.By stating his own experiences.
29. According to Susie Walton,C.
A.kids should be rewarded for doing chores
B.parents decide what kids can do for the family
C.kids have the responsibility to share housework
D.kids can get extra computer time for doing chores
30. Paragraph 3is mainly aboutB.
A.Chris Bergman's opinion on raising kids
B.the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores
C.main reasons why kids need encouragement
D.how to motivate kids to try new applications

B.call on readers to reflect on their behavior
C.present the author's viewpoint about parenting

4.In March 1987,I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence.It was a very proud moment for me.I'd worked hard for over a year to create it,and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success.
Shortly after we had mailed 25,000copies,I received one in the mail.But this one wasn't as beautiful as the ones we'd sent out.It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (语法错误) in it.A talented editor had read it carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined.
I felt abashed.A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容).The stories were good,but the errors this woman had found showed that our magazine was far from being excellent.
At first,I was not satisfied with my editor for not having avoided the mistakes,and dissatisfied with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out.Later,I was dissatisfied with myself for not having employed a better editor.
Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistake.I called the talented editor.I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully.Painful as it was,I accepted responsibility for it.
Then I offered her the job of editing our magazine.The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine.
From this I learnt that an upsetting moment can be an opportunity to see the truth,and it can help to prevent one making the same mistakes,and to make"excellence"a reality.

B.She liked pointing out the errors of others.
C.She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue.
