Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may do the dishes, sweep the floor or take out the rubbish. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people think that kids shouldn’t get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育者) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn’t worth doing unless they get something in return. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.
“Every house is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is the living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that they all have a responsibility to keep their homes clean.”
Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards can encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real-world lessons. They can learn about how they need to work to make money.
Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(数字的) gifts that can be used either online or in life.
With the app Chore Monster, kids can get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.
“Our goal is to encourage kids to do chores, so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive power to make them do chores.”

答案： 1. B 细节理解题。根据“Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may do the dishes，sweep the floor or take out the rubbish. In return，some kids get money or other rewards from their parents，such as 20 minutes to play computer games.”可知，因为孩子帮助家长做家务，所以他们得到了一些奖励。故选B。2. C 细节理解题。根据“But some people think that kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton，a parenting educator and family coach.”可知，Susie Walton认为孩子不应该从做家务中得到奖励，也就是他们应该无偿地帮助家长做家务。故选C。3. A 词义猜测题。根据“A home is the living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that they all have a responsibility to keep their homes clean.”可知，家是家庭中每个人的生活空间，因此孩子要明白他们有责任保持家里干净，面线单词意为“责任”。故选A。4. D 细节理解题。根据“The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in life.”可知，孩子们可以使用应用程序获得积分和数字礼物。故选D。5. B 主旨大意题。本文就孩子帮助家长做家务是否应该得到奖励给出了两种不同的观点，因此最佳标题为“孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗？”。故选B。
