VII. 任务型阅读。（共5小题，计10分）
One of the common problems between parents and teenagers is chores around the house. Studies show that only 20% of mothers and 10% of fathers are happy with the amount(数量) of housework that their teenagers do.
What affects(影响) the amount of housework that teenagers do? There is more than one factor. Teenagers with mothers who have jobs usually do more chores at home. Also, teenagers from large families usually do more housework. For boys, how much housework their fathers do affects a lot.
At the age of 7 or 8, girls and boys often spend the similar time on housework. But as they get older, girls usually do more housework than boys. At about 15 or 16 years old, teenagers usually want to spend more time with friends, in after - school activities, or in paid jobs, so they have less time for chores.
The chores that parents give their children often show the difference between boys and girls. For example, boys are often asked to do outdoor chores like shopping, cleaning the car and taking out the rubbish. But girls often get indoor chores such as kitchen work, house cleaning, and taking care of young children.
Probably the best way to encourage teenagers to do different chores is by setting an example. Boys may be ready to do some “women's chores” if they see their fathers doing them.
