Question

【题目】 I don’t think all household chores are boring. But some really are. Every day after breakfast, I have to clean the table. On weekends, I have to clean the bathroom and do the dishes after dinner.

There are two things that I hate most in life—cleaning the bathroom and doing the dishes.My mom often says, “Amy, clean your bedroom. It’s a mess（杂乱）.” I don’t think it’s really that messy. But mom just checks my room every day and tells me to clean up “this mess”. Of course I promise her each time that I will clean it up—when I have the time.

My brother, Mark, doesn’t have to do very much at home. Sometimes, he helps Dad wash the car and water the plants. Those are not boring chores at all. I usually have to remind（提醒）him to help me do the dishes, but after he passes the dishes, he surfs the Internet at once.

文章介绍了艾米认为做家务很无聊，她讨厌打扫卧室与洗碗，具体说明了她讨厌的理由，同时介绍了她的弟弟马克，不喜欢做家务，只是帮助爸爸洗车或浇树。

【1】根据第二段第一句话“There are two things that I hate most in life—cleaning the bathroom and doing the dishes.”可知，艾米生活中最讨厌的事情是打扫卧室和洗碗。故答案为Cleaning the bathroom and doing the dishes。

【2】根据第二段“My mom often says, ‘Amy, clean your bedroom. It’s a mess（杂乱）.’”可知，艾米的妈妈认为她的卧室很杂乱。故答案为She thinks it’s a mess。

【3】根据第三段“he helps Dad wash the car and water the plants. Those are not boring chores at all”可知，作者认为洗车和给植物浇水一点儿也不无聊。所以作者并不是认为所有的家务都很无聊。故答案为No, she doesn’t。
