B
①Most children don't like doing chores. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning their rooms. But in Australia, Mrs Black, Jim and Robert's mother, has good and proper methods to get their children do housework.
②Here is an example.
③"Mum, have you worked out next week's chores lottery (彩票)? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!"
④When Robert shouted this out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards there are words like "sweep the floor", "clean your bedroom", "help Mum cook", "wash the vegetables", "make your beds", "feed the fish", "cut the lumber (原木)" and "clean the bathroom". Jim and Robert each picks two cards every day from Monday to Friday. Then they hang the cards on the task board. Jim likes cleaning the bathroom best, so he picked the card "clean the bathroom". Robert loves to make beds, so he also picked his favorite card. Jim again chose "wash the vegetables" and Robert "feed the fish". The two boys were happy taking away their cards.
⑤Mrs Black had thought hard in order to come up with this idea. Of course, Mr and Mrs Black do chores on weekends, so Jim and Robert can have two days off (休息).
