一、阅读理解
Dear Mom,
Every day you and Dad have to work hard outside, help me with my homework and do the housework at home. ▲ I know something I can do to help give you both a break. I can do chores and you can pay me! Every day, I will sweep the floor, set the table and walk the dog—each for 1.
This plan can let you and Dad relax. It will help me, too. I will organize my time better and learn to manage (管理) my money.
So what do you think? I'm ready to start right now!
Love,
Gabby
Dear Gabby,
You're old enough to start doing chores. But Dad and I won't pay you. No one pays us to do chores. Chores are a part of family life, and we all need to help keep our house clean and tidy. Sometimes we do jobs not for a reward (回报), but because it's our responsibility to do so.
In fact, you will get a reward for doing chores—smiles (微笑) from both your dad and me.
Love,
Mom
